@JessicaGill27 @MarkMooch @_nefelibata_88 @_SalmanAnwar @metpoliceuk All of the evidence doesn't not back up the view that gun ownership = a safer society. The US has higher metrics for pretty much every violent crime compared to the UK. And guns are now the no1 cause of death for kids in the US.

So I can't see how your argument stands.

@disneylytical @FlyingHighAnd @SkyNews I thibk you're misunderstanding. We do all of that and more in UK tests. You just can't go on motorways, which are a very specific type of highway (like an interstate). You go on other fast roads that are basically the same.

@TrishaRrrg @RhettRe @TerribleFinance Are you a millionaire?

@cathrynlavery @thesamparr @chris_berridge I want to be a scuba instructor but work in an office. Didn't go down too well when I tried this advice.

@JamesDuddridge Who pays for the cokes, out of curiosity?

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@Lord_Sugar They've been there for nearly 10 years lol

@YangChen @Paul_Reviews The job isn't that senior and an assistant head within a small bit of MOD. Asst Hd is middle management (2 grades below Head of Dept). It's not looking for technical/IT specialists (that work gets contracted out) but a cyber and security policy type.

@Similitude2017 @Ranting_Trans Caps at 5 weeks after 20 years lol. UK the legal minimum - on day 1 in the shittiest jobs - is 5.6 weeks.

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@TheGingerarchy @Ranting_Trans And even "good benefits" are less than what is the bare legal minimum in the UK...

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@Lan_wuts @_Matt_Buckley @runolgarun @Ranting_Trans 3-4 weeks, which you are citing as something someone gets with a good employer after a few yrs service is still LESS THAN THE LEGAL MINIMUM in the UK (5.6 weeks). Supermarket stickers get 5.6 weeks. A good job gets 7-8 weeks (I get 8 weeks at mine)

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@Lan_wuts @_Matt_Buckley @runolgarun @Ranting_Trans Yeah but the point is that is what good companies give you in US and it's still less than your McDonald's burger flipper or supermarket shelf stacker in the UK, who gets 28 days (5.6 weeks) paid vacation every year...

@ChrisJHLambert @edjenko They normally humour me and then when I've changed it claim they can't see the difference and think I'm being picky. I don't want to watch a movie that looks like a behind the scenes documentary

@pommylee @Steven_Swinford Just to be clear, the existing 'no fault' (Section 21) evictions cannot be used to end a contract that is in place (unless it has a break clause). It can only be used once the contract is finished and you are on a rolling month-by-month tenancy.

@Mark_BeerArt @danbloom1 And earns more than you save on mortgage interest with current cash saving account rates. Can get 2.5% instant access and pushing 4% for fixed term cash savings.

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@johbergs_stat @danbloom1 Exactly. Savings accounts are now beating the mortgage % of pretty much anyone that fixed last yr. Can still use the lump saved + interest to pay down mortgage on remortgage. Better financially than overpaying.

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@danbloom1 Overpaying on a low fix is NOT good choice. Instant access cash savings 2.5% and fixed rate cash savers ~4%. If saving % > mortgage % then it beats overpaying (overpaying is equiv financially to saving at mortgage %). At remortgage you use the saved lump+interest to pay down.

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@TheCullObsidian @mikeygow @bbcquestiontime @BBCOne To be fair, I think you're the one getting confused. All of the lenders publish their available products. They are updated frequently sometimes daily. You can find them by googling bank name + intermediaries. None go as high as 10%, most 4-6%. Have a look for yourself.

@SW_Help I've given up. Been waiting over an hour and neither of the two buses due have turned up. Please direct me to the relevant page for complaints/compensation/refunds.

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@SW_Help a few of us waiting for the 1756 replacement bus to Woking at Ash Vale and 15 mins in still no sign of it... Where is it?

[Ashley @SomeHSomeE]

@SW_Help Another one due at 1826 also hasn't turned up yet so now two seem to be missing...
