I was at somebody's house a while back and needed a shite, so did my business and reached for the toilet brush to dislodge any...residue. The bristles were covered in putrefying dung and lavvy paper. It's not normal behaviour to use the toilet brush and just stick it back in the holder without rinsing, is it? I'll give the bowl a scrub with the brush, then sloosh it about when the toilet's flushing to dislodge any nastiness that's accrued. Admittedly you're flushing twice, but I'm horrified at the idea that I'm the freak and everyone else just changes their brush when it gets too turdy 'Changing their brush when it gets too turdy'. Thanks for that. An image that I'm going to take a long while to unsee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before they start pulling their trousers up to the top of their shins before sitting down and going OCH AYE as they lower themselves to the seat Thanks fully I've not reached either of those miserable milestones yet, and hope to be safely euthanised before I get there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the court can order you to pay. Even then they can only seek fair compensation for potential losses caused by your unauthorised parking. So when they bash the fee up to £300 to scare you, thats just nonsense. IF you ever had enough of them built up that it made it worth their while pursuing, thats a different matter. Its also key to all of this that they must be able to prove who was driving, as the driver, not the keeper, is liable. If you WERE the driver, you are under no obligation to incriminate yourself by admitting it. I've also read on the moneysavingexpert forums that there are a couple of snidey companies that up here will still pursue in court nonetheless and its possibly better to just pay them (if your letter is from those particular companies) There's a massive forum over there dedicated to this subject so if you have any issues I'd thoroughly recommend Edited April 13, 2021 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap I have is 1300 bath to wall what size unit should I go for as I know I cant get one 1300 as the toilet would be too close to the wall? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had one since Saturday morning and gone completely cold turkey. Has anyone else done this and ended up being very grumpy and if so how long does it tend to last? I'd be prepared for a few months of this. I found myself snapping at things that meant nothing and generally being annoyed at all times. Nightmares were fucking horrendous as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 See if you're furloughed from a minimum wage job and minimum wage increases (as it has) should your furlough payments increase?Obviously yes from a moral point of view, but from a legal perspective? Just checking at whom I should direct my fury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously yes from a moral point of view, but from a legal perspective? Just checking at whom I should direct my fury. I saw something where somebody was asking if their company pay increase should be reflected in their furlough payments, and the answer was no, as there'd be nothing to stop your employer taking the piss by bumping your wage up 25% during furlough. This thing from the HMRC forum seems to suggest that employers shouldn't be taking the minimum wage increase into account for furlough payments, as furlough isn't considered time worked, so you (and I) will still be on 80% of our old salary until we start back and get to enjoy the sweet, undeserved riches that our benevolent Tory overlords have fought for us to be given (lol). That's almost a relief for me, as there's no way that the finance department at my work would be able to cope with paying this month's salary at three different rates. We got a miniscule pay increase at the end of last year that had to be paid in three goes, as they kept fucking it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had slim hopes of a wee increase in today's pay slip but opened it to find it less than the previous as I'm paying more tax now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My version of that was discovering my wee pay rise last year had been entirely devoured by a reduction in the wee bit of Universal Credit that I still get. It would've been cheaper for the dafties to leave me at the same rate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be CCTV, or in most cases where they company successful, because their internet lawyers have told them to write back to them and tell them to ram it as unenforceable. This is what happened in both the famous Scottish cases. They knew who the drivers were and the drivers challenged it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
