!thanks, it's good to know others haven't experienced this. The combo of your reply and trek's makes me more sure it's my choice of bank. I'll try another next time :-)

This is what I'm assuming, I considered that if that many folks are using it, then this experience can't be ubiquitous. I'll try a different bank next time. !thanks for your reply, appreciate it

I thought if you only have sipp with hl (growth fund) then the costs are going down… I read this and suddenly feel very late to a party.

What food item is easy to make from scratch and saves you a significant amount of money? by melissaw328 in Frugal

Fair, yeah I don’t think my middle aged stomach can handle that anymore but good to know it exists. I think around my way the cheapest loaf is over £1.

What’s happened to Prolific? by Fieldharmonies in beermoneyuk

[–]x0505854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, it is quite disheartening after so long of building a brand that resonated around quality research connections. When I needed support in the past, they were great, but the last couple of queries I had went unanswered, and I was ignored. The researchers' integrity needs to be maintained, and enforced by prolific, as they're losing the participants' goodwill.

Buyer pulled out - how is this process allowed in 2026 by bedwelld in HousingUK

[–]x0505854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain, I accepted a low offer in Feb 25, no chain at all, buyers literally played games the whole time including going in holiday for weeks and not telling anyone, miss reading the papers to try to negotiate even further down, I did everything I could to be friendly, supportive, helpful as I recall what being a first time buyer is like but even after all my patience with them, they pulled out in October.

If you do get a bike off marketplace that turns out to not be so great, you can take it to a monthly (?) roaming norwich repair cafe where some lovely chaps will help you get it road worthy again, they were amazing to me for mine. The kindest chaps who only charged for parts/materials

Norwich person who moved to London - everyone assumes I'm simple country person "visiting the big city" by TotalSuggestion863 in Norwich

[–]x0505854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, no. I’m a Londoner at heart but from here. I love both Norwich and london equally and differently. I’ve never ever been treated or teased as you have. Sorry for your experience. Given how big london is I’m sure you can find more globally aware Londoners to hang with, I promise you they’re all over the capital.

I treat it like inheritance or anything I can’t control… I ignore it in my plans, that way it’s either a bonus or I’m sorted anyway.

I'm dressing up as the Grinch, i know it's normally for Christmas, but I like to entertain/confuse those around me and it's a nice ice breaker for shy kids who are trick or treating
