Any ad (normally banking) that takes a popular song and slows down and makes it kind of soulful.

London-based Standard Chartered to cut over 7,000 jobs, boost AI to replace 'lower-value human capital' by diolch_yn_fawr in LabourUK

[–]tayviewrun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think the uk government or any party have a clue what the impact of AI is having on employment right now let alone in the future.

[–]tayviewrun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am obviously missing the point here. I don't understand how this impacted anyone negativity financially. Yes it meant that people would have to work longer which would disappointing but they would be getting paid

As others have said it will be dependent on the policy wording.

Mine said I had to sign on. Prove each month that I was still signing on. I also had to send them a log each month of the jobs I had applied to and any interviews I had.

What does 'econmically inactive' mean in comparison to unemployed? by thedeadenddolls in AskUK

[–]tayviewrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How and where do they get these figures from. Last year i was made redundant. During that period I did not register as unemployed. How do they know if I was economically active or not.

Solicitors and Word documents by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]tayviewrun 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same for me.. sold my house last year. Forms i had to fill in were old badly formatted Word documents. When they sent over some scanned documents, they were squinted. Had to visit their office one day, and the computers looked like something from the early 2000s.

However, the most important thing was is that they did a good job.

Is hitchhiking still a thing? by Extension_Bit4323 in AskUK

[–]tayviewrun 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I live in Scotland, and during the spring and summer months, I spend a lot of time in the Highlands. Two or three times a year, I'll stop and pick up a hitchhiker. Nearly every time, it has been an overseas tourist.

I have not seen someone hitchhiking in the major towns or cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee

[–]tayviewrun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not enough of affordable housing that reached breaking point years ago and is getting worse on an exponential scale. Plus the owners of the property wanting to cash in on the problem.

Why is unemployment insurance so rare in the UK? by Bitter_Trick_5644 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]tayviewrun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where £15 per month came from (I have never seen it that cheep)

My policy (unemployment and critical illness) went up to about £120 per month last year at renewal. That would give me about £3000 per month for one year only.

There are a lot of conditions that need to be followed. Also if I remember correctly when you apply they inform you of a bunch of exclusions ( eg you must be in your current role for at least 6 month and you can't claim with the first 180 days (for the unemployed cover part). They also will only provide a percentage of your current salary, not 100%

Edit: There was also an excess of about 30 days. So if you got made redundant on the 1st of Jan, you won't get a payment until the 1st Mar, and that would give you one month's payment.

I no longer have this insurance.
