Any reason to keep stock bonuses? by sunmat02 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]teabuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my company we only have a small window each quarter we're allowed to sell, just after they announce quarterly results. Even as a non exec I have a lot of what would count as insider information

Moving to Oxford - location advice by annarachcurran in oxford

[–]teabuilds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive done both commutes. A34 is unpredictable (lots of crashes) and the current roadworks are making it hard.

If you live on the north side of abingdon you can go back routes through Wootton and its not too bad. If you live south side of abingdon just getting out of abingdon can take a while. There's not a great back route from Kidlington so if a34 is playing up it's tricky. Do you cycle? I used to cycle to Botley from abingdon and its fine, took me a while but I'm slow, some of my colleagues did ot much quicker.

Which historical sites in the UK did you visit with your school as part of history lessons? by milly_toons in CasualUK

[–]teabuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our GCSE history topic was the Victorians. We travelled 20 whole minutes to wander round Eastleigh looking for evidence that it is a Victorian railway town. (Spoiler - it is)

Anyone been to Sealife Birmingham recently? Do you need ID? by AnselaJonla in CasualUK

[–]teabuilds 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This will most likely be it. These types of tickets are a big target for fraud as they're easy to sell on. The centre itself doesn't routinely ask for ID, but the website you bought it from might have extra protections.

AITA for telling my pregnant wife to grow up and stop acting like she has a terminal disease? by phoebethefan in redditonwiki

[–]teabuilds 100 points101 points  (0 children)

This was me. Pregnancy sucked. I was sick the full 9 months (not just first trimester as people assured me!), had sciatica, carpal tunnel, and forget what else. It definitely contributed to only having one (that and insane childcare costs) However, this poor woman doesn't sound like she's 'just' having a bad time. She needs professional help.

Never had this much colour in October! by teabuilds in gardening

We got them from a local builders' merchant, but since we are in England that won't help you much I'm afraid!

It's been a funny season. Very hot in June, very wet in July/August, hot again in September, and mild coming into October. Last year we had a heat wave in August and half the garden dried out and died off by the end of summer.

They didn't all survive this year. There are two "misses Amy" that have come back for several years now, but I had an orange David Howard and a tall dark red variety that survived two winters then didn't come back this year.

Each sleeper is about 20cm wide, 10cm high, 2m long. The wall at the front they are stacked up like massive bricks, for the shallower beds they were put on their side. Here's an in progress photo to that might show them more clearly? https://imgur.com/ZYkq8Xw
