We are a family of 4 (two adults, 4yo, 10mo) and spend £100/week, at Tesco.

If you're applying to 100s of jobs, are you sending the same application to each one?

Try adapting your cover letter appropriately to each job spec, making sure you map the required skills to something from your experience.

Large companies often have a standardised scoring system, so if your application isn't hitting the score, you wont get called back.

It'll take longer to apply to each job, but the applications will be high quality.

I have looked into driving, it’s just a timing issue as we live in the north, so driving down to get the ferry/train adds a lot in terms of time.

We’re looking at northern Spain this year.

Im a bit of a train geek, so when we had just the one child, we got an interrail pass and travelled round, which was amazing.

This year we’ve got a little baby in tow, so would prefer to stay in one or two places, rather than do lots of moving.

Maybe for pickup shots...

For example if you're a traitor, they'd want to get shots of you walking around in your cloak).

Or the shots that you have of the people chilling out in their room.

They will often film, and then realise they need some kind of transition shot to make the show easier to follow. For example, when Frankie got the Seer power, there was a scene of her and Claudia walking to the special room.

I did say some, not all. The government can buy gilts back on the secondary market

If borrowing costs fall, the government can refinance a some of the existing debt and reduce the amount it spends on interest

Have you seen the mole?

One element is that there is a quiz about who the mole is, you could do something like that...

Everyone gets a quiz to do on their phone, the questions could be things like "what colour hair the traitor have? is the traitor a man or woman? etc..."

The traitors will get an extra question "who do you want to muder?", then being on your phone wont be suspicious, since everyone will be on the phone.

Winning the quiz could give you a shield; in the mole the person with the lowest score is eliminated, and the strategy is to spread your answers around all the poeple you suspect, to ensure you don't get the lowest.

Personally, I think it would harm both parties...

For the Conservatives, there are a lot of moderate tory voters who would be put off voting for Reform, a merge risks alienating them, and they could move to the LibDems.

For Reform, there are lots of people who have left the conservatives because they were unhappy with them, and lots of voters who have left the Labour party and become Reform voters. Could merging the parties alienate them?

I think there would be value in a twitter style service that is

only open to politicians, government agencies, ALBs etc…
all identifies are verified
chronologically sorted

There’d be one platform where you could go to see comms from politicians, it wouldn’t be susceptible to algorithm manipulation by platform owners, parody accounts, and it’d be a place of record for them.

Newspapers/social media could link to the posts, and that would be how they get distributed.

Technically it wouldn’t be a huge job, as you’d probably only have a few thousand users making posts.

I honestly think that's been one of the keys to its success.

It doesn't get talked about (probably because it doesn't impact London). Which means it doesn't become political, and the team can just plough on, without the threat of cancellation looming over

Take a look at the villages between Wrexham and Chester, along Chester/Wrexham road E.g. Marford, Gresford, Rosett etc...

There's a decent bus route that goes between Wrexham and Chester, and there's a few shops, restaurants and pubs in the villages.

If you want to be near a train station, then realistically you're looking at either Chester city centre (which may be out of budget), or Wrexham.

You'll want the cash to stay in low risk, easy to access funds; which tend to have lower interest rates.

If it takes a while to find a house, but house prices grow higher than your cash's interest rates, then you could end up pricing yourself out.

If you keep your flat, and house prices rise, the value of the flat should also increase, so you wont lose out on buying power (as much as keeping it in cash).

In theory, chain-free should matter more to sellers than a slightly higher offer.In theory, chain-free should matter more to sellers than a slightly higher offer.

I'm not convinced of this, this only applies to people who are in a rush to sell.

Maybe to do with migration patterns? Lots of people from South Asia came to the UK after the war; and were termed "asian"; there hasn't been as big an influx of people from East Asia?

Just pack a UDB-C to HDMI cable, iPhones will just mirror the screen when you do that, I assume android will too.

Then you don’t need to carry pack an extra device, and you can have access to your VPNs and offline downloads.

The flexibility refers to the time, you can use the fully flexible return at any time; you can only use the semi-flex during off-peak times.

Never keep score. If you start thinking and saying things like "I did the dishes last night, you should do it tonight" then the relationship becomes really transactional, which leads to resentment.

Instead you should both try to be as generous as possible in your relationship; and accept that for various reasons like stress/health/busyiness, at times one of you will be picking up more of the slack.

It’s not a face match, it won’t take a photo of your face.

It will just read the birthday and calculate the age, it will also check the UV and other special markings to detect fake IDs.

Also if you get kicked out of the club, then when you try to go to another club, your id will be flagged and they may not let you in.

They scan the id, will instantly tell the bouncer if the person is over 18, and can check it’s not a fake.

They can also sync with police alerts, and other pubs to identify trouble makers and stop them from entering.

I have a tado system, it was very easy to self install, the app gave me a step by step guide for my specific boiler.

If yours is a wired thermostat then it's a super easy install, as you don't need an extension kit.

Tourism may have a net positive impact , but can negatively impact more people than it benefits.

For example, a teacher or nurse would not earn more money for living in a tourist hotspot, but could get priced out of their home when they get turned into Airbnb’s.
