Also you can't vote for the seas of Scotland to be teeming with fish again, you need to sink the fishing fleet and keep everyone else out for 50 years.

Comrade Fakename posted:OK, this is a bit of a weird question, but I don’t really have anyone’s else to ask. Does anyone know about valuing jewellery? I’m sorting out my mum’s estate and I have to give a valuation for tax purposes. This is mainly sorted but I have a ring that my grandmother gave my mum that I’m kind of stumped by. I’m pretty sure it’s not worth anything significant, but I don’t know poo poo about jewellery so there is a possibility that it is actually very expensive. Fairly sure you can just go into a jewellers and get them to appraise it on headed paper. Not sure if you'd need to pay for that, but I can't imagine it'd cost much if you did.

There are places that will give a rough estimate, but without a proper examination the value could fluctuate wildly. If the ring is effectively costume jewelry they will be able too say there and then without further issue. You can take it in for a proper examination which will cost a fee. The amount of the fee will usually depend on the assessed value of the item. The examiner will also be able to give you a full breakdown of the cut, clarity, colour and Carat of any gemstones in the ring along with the metal grade. For this kind of a service you will probably pay around £50 for something around the £1,000 value.

 Important graph in that thread, showing when Britain added the diagonal stripes to become the UK in 1988, and when Harold Macmillan abolished the Test Act 1672, allowing shellfish to be full citizens in 1957.

the common fisheries policy arguing around brexit is absolutely the dumbest part of it. This NYT article from ealrier this year about grimsby is a good example. It used to be a fishing town but that died up and now its main industry is fish trading. Brexit, particularly no deal, is going to absolutely destroy the industry but it voted heavily leave so that they could fish all they wanted again https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/23/business/grimsby-brexit.html

Aphex- posted:I know the reason was political posturing and setting up for what they thought would be an easy election win, but I still cannot get over how they triggered article 50 before actually figuring out how it would all work in practice and having a plan. How the actual gently caress anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me, and it makes me so mad. Someone's never had a "danger wank".

I think I looked into this when I bought my wife's engagement ring and think I was quoted £15 for a valuation. Just ring some local jewellers and they'll point you in the right direction - some can do it there and then and some have to send it away.

Honestly even though May has made an incredible cock-up of this whole process I won't be too sad if we "leave" the EU by essentially staying in it but removing all our political power. The status quo for the average person wouldn't really change. National pride would take a knock but the era of the UK being an imperial power is over anyway so it won't have a tangible effect.

Octolady posted:Even if a GE was called and even if Corbyn did get elected I’m not 100% convinced he wouldn’t be immediately assassinated by some right wing nut. There's been several plots to assassinate him already, most famously the gammons who tried to ram raid a mosque in Corbyn's constituency. They switched plans because they're more worried about making him a martyr and empowering John McDonnell or a more authoritarian lefty instead of kindly old Jam Grandad.

They changed plans because there were bollards, security, and a crowd. Which they didn't expect. lolJose posted:We must debate this titan of ideology That's a solid burn by Bannon against Macron. Guess white nats can smell their own.

I’m pretty sure it’s not worth anything significant, but I don’t know poo poo about jewellery so there is a possibility that it is actually very expensive. Probate value has to be 'open market value' - what you would get if you tried to sell it as it is whereas 'insurance value' is to replace it as is (perhaps have it hand made for example if it is special so that could be a lot higher). IMHO that makes a high st jeweller's valuation perfectly adequate but as has been suggested, you might ask HMRC. You may find the discussion on this link informative: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5588919 Edit: HMRC "Then estimate the value of each on the date the person died. Use the asset’s realistic selling price on the open market." https://www.gov.uk/valuing-estate-of-someone-who-died/estimate-estate-value Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Nov 14, 2018 |

They can sit until 7 if they can make the adjournment debate last that long. Today's debate "Changes to police employee pension contributions". NB speeches have to be on topic, so good luck!

Blair says May's Brexit deal 'a capitulation' And here is a quote from the Tony Blair speech this afternoon. He described the deal, on the basis of what has been reported about it, as a “capitulation”. He said: Nothing can disguise the nature of the deal [Theresa May] has chosen, if reports of it are true. This deal isn’t a compromise, it’s a capitulation. The withdrawal agreement will keep us tied to EU trade policy until there is an end established by ‘joint consent’ - in other words, the EU has a veto. It is coated in heavy fudge, but that is the inedible biscuit beneath the coating. Blair also said that the proposals had united him and Boris Johnson in “unholy alliance”, adding: We agree this is a pointless Brexit in name only which is not the best of a bad job but the worst of both worlds. In the cause of ‘taking back control’ we lose the control we had. https://twitter.com/clickhole/status/960568745298223104?lang=en

I just skived off work early because I got in at 8am. On my way to the train station I get offered a big issue. I respond (truthfully) that I'm sorry but I have no cash, and the seller responded with a roll of her eyes and called me what I can only presume to be a oval office in a language I don't know. Thing is I'm now sat at the station waiting for my train and I know that in about 10 minutes this woman will come and get the same train as me to the same destination 40-odd miles away, because I see her do this 2 or 3 times a month. I don't buy into bullshit about beggars living lives of luxury off handouts from a gullible but well-meaning public, but I gotta wonder why she's presumably spending 15 quid a throw to sell the big issue in a town 40 miles away from where she lives.

Guavanaut posted:I think they get 'recommended' to go certain places outside of cities on a rota or something. There's a lady that sells it on odd days around here, outside the shop in a small village in Leicestershire. She's from Leicester. Due to the crowding of sellers in the city and lack of ones in the county something something efficient marketization. Well I find the whole idea of training the impoverished to be pathetic imitations of capitalist entrepreneurs, by selling a magazine on street corners, to be pretty disgusting to begin with.

Must admit, I've asked a couple of the BI sellers in my town where they're from and it's about 20 miles away and costs £8 return on the bus. I've also seen things which make me suspect they (these particular sellers) are being run by some kind of gang-master (though they have the legit vest etc). Mine's a small town and they really can't be making enough to cover much more than the bus fare. Heck I can't even afford to take a job in that town because it would take me 2-3 hours to get there by bus and use up the first hour's pay at NMW (approx what is available there for most jobs).
