You fail to see the point. If they are ENTITLED to state aid when working full time there is a problem with the minimum wage. What they spend the money on maybe foolish in some circumstances but it doesn’t mean they are not eligible to receive it.

Over the years wages have been eroded in various ways. The introduction of the minimum wage was introduced to ensure people were paid a minimum wage. This has been interpreted as ’we can get away with only paying this’ by lots of employers now. The profits of large companies are artificially boosted by suppressing wages for workers.
If people are working full time for the legal minimum wage and they still have to rely on state aid then the system must be broken.

Is that a miniature bike or a huge ratchet? 😉

Does using "linked accounts" allow your main bank to see balances and spending on the linked accounts.
Yes it does 👍🏼

My son was one of the first employees in Monzo bank which is purely online with no branches. I was an early adopter of the bank as I felt I had to support him after I’d been with Barclays all my life. I’ve found it a breeze to use and now can look at my other accounts on the same app which is useful too.

Did what Welsh1 said, but still have a problem. This is a old pic taken with my old camera, my new camera pictures wont upload as it says file to big. Might need to adjust new camera settings, if this makes sense.
I have found the easiest way to resize large sized photos is to email them to myself

Yeah I realise there isn't much chance of the scroungers getting reeled in, but something needs to be done, even stopping people going straight from education to signing on would be a start.
I think what needs to be done to get more workers into care homes is give them financial rewards they merit. Like most of this type of work, the rate of pay has been kept artificially low with cheap foreign labour and more workers than jobs. This has all changed now and care homes must stop being financial cash cows for owners and shareholders. They need to start investing in the people at the pointy end……. The carers. Once wages are tempting only then will they get quality staff who will stay long term.

Fortunately (?) our agent is on the ball and had warned us that the council were about to do this.
How much detail did the floor plans have to have?
I have just had to apply for 3 selective licences in Newcastle, I drew out the floor plans by hand and put the dimensions on. I then wrote “not to scale” these were accepted by the council
good luck

If “So” and “Look” etc grate on you I hop you’re not watching Question Time right now

If the wire is going into the switch from above it should be running vertically plumb so avoid putting any fixings there.

I watched a programme a while back about Jeff Lynn of E.L.O. I didn’t realise till then what a talented musician he is.

The old Motarolla startac was fantastic in its day. I wish they made a smart version these days.

Did you get sorted with the CENs module? I have two proflex + as I’ve just upgraded to the newer DX models. I want them to go as a pair

How many remember 89/90 crash ? The world recovered.
Yes, a painful recovery with interest rates hitting over 15% over the following years. I remember being ready to throw the keys in at the building society if they went up again. Painful times, I’m pleased I’m mortgage free now.

I believe my watch was initially developed for working in conditions like the LHC

Hi all, is there a way to get TV stations on a smart TV with only a 3pin 240v connection? We are wanting a TV in our kitchen/diner but have no aerial in there and no virgin media socket in there either.

Hi, we are getting a full kitchen remodel at the moment and are considering getting a 4 in 1 tap which delivers cold filtered, boiling and normal hot/cold water. Has anyone got one or can recommend a type and if they are worth buying?
Thanks

It was quite a substantial bit of kit I bought, like I say the finish is great but the preparation and spray dust is huge
-
“Get a spray gun and spray it” they said. So I buy the spray system faff about masking skirtings, fireplace, windows, doors. Get my face mask on and coveralls. Finally ready for the main event. JESUS! What a disappointment, I really didn’t expect it to make such a mess, nice finish but would have been a dam sight quicker and less messy with a roller! Am I doing it wrong?

Well that’s my rear fence gone and the greenhouse too!

Indeed, leaving / divorce has to be the first port of call and it’s not as though this path was unknown to her.Once again we see alcohol fuelling it.
A friend of mine is 10 years through a 17year minimum for killing his girlfriend. They had turned into a pair of alcoholics and constantly fighting. He freely admits he would be dead by now if he hadn’t been locked up, the drink would have killed him. A life lost and another ruined due to drink

My son is living in Leipzig in Germany. We went to visit him a few months ago driving there from the euro tunnel. I was impressed with how many wind and solar farms there are right the way through the country. We also witnessed the recycling centres within supermarkets for plastic bottles where you feed the empty containers in and get a voucher for credit for your shopping. A beautiful clean country.
