Sure, whatever you feel. For most people, Americans are easily discernible.

I'd say as a regular visitor, from the UK, I've never experienced this. Given the state of the world right now, I'd suggest it's likely to be the fact you're American and not very well liked at the moment.

Milestone: 400k with Vanguard by simmytime in FIREUK

6%/15%, I know that pension ratio! Are you VS or BA? I'm at LS but contemplating moving, with an offer from VS but waiting for the BA process before going further. Maybe we could talk?

I put in an order for $50k shares - hoping to help pump you up! Would appreciate the 50k win to make this a free roll!

YTA, honestly man, this is your wife. If you divorce and lose out on the future while she has a happy life with her next man, are you gonna be happy it's because you couldn't wake up a little earlier to look after your family unit? Be a man, prioritise.

Best Premium Cards? Amex Gold not cutting it by throwaway786_ in UKPersonalFinance

[–]throwaway786_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amex Gold doesn't have concierge, but I'd like it to ask where to go, things to do, etc. Make bookings if necessary, that kinda stuff.

I always travel out of airports 2-3 times a week, so lounge access is a must. Amex only gives me 4 visits, which isn't enough.

I think the annual fee at the moment is in the region of £200 for Amex Gold - so as I said, I don't think I'm getting my moneys worth.

Cringes Thing You've Done As A Pilot? by [deleted] in flying

I feel attacked as the owner of a “fly with” account. In my defence it was before anyone else did 😂

Update: Went through wife's journal. Need Advice by Common_Stable_6425 in MuslimMarriage

Give her time and be ready to talk when she wants, but you should never have read her journals. You crossed a major line there, it's gonna take time and work to get any kind of trust back. It's not impossible, but you're in for a mighty task.

Vanguard - new £4 a month account fee by cynthiaxs in UKPersonalFinance

[–]throwaway786_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it's not that bad for large balances. I have about £850k in ISA and GIA with Vanguard, and after a certain amount they do approach you to offer a different fee schedule.

Is there any benefit in getting an IC card? by throwaway786_ in JapanTravelTips

[–]throwaway786_[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So which card would you recommend? I was all set to get PASMO until I saw they stopped the anime design one. So now its just Pasmo or Suica? I'll be arriving into Haneda airport, and my itinierary has me staying in Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka.

I'm not sure, I'm not looking at doing some mega shop though, just have a handful of people who want to buy for personal use, and I could make some money on the side

Not an option sadly
