Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Methinks an estate agent is about to get sued out of existence for failing to do any money laundering checks whatsoever. It'll be the land registry paying out a settlement over it and no-one else. The man has lost his house, theres no way they will revert it back to his ownership. He might get a settlement off of the 'sellers' solicitors for the lost possessions because the buyers solicitors 100% would have said that they want the house cleared before purchase so they would have seen that and not flagged up an entire homes worth of contents were still in there. Absolutely disgusting story and 100% been bought by yet another buy to let landlord for a knockdown price too. Cannot believe the police said this was a civil matter to begin with.

Its because they charge more for those seats and absolutely nothing to do with 'weight distribution on the plane' or any such bollocks that they try and pull. The extra leg room seats are usually about 10% more than the rest of the cattle class.

Paper Planes posted:Hi UKMT If you are 'working' on days in between Christmas you will not be using up your annual holiday allowance and if you are asked to work on a bank holiday you will receive that day back in lieu. If they are asking you to potentially keep an eye on an e-mail inbox and only 'work' if something comes in then it depends. Are they asking you to be 'on call' and does your contract have a provision for what this is and what it means? Check your contract/employee handbook. If they are asking you to volunteer as a just in case option then it gets into a very grey area. I for instance once ran the webstore for a fairly large clothing company and while we were 'closed' on Christmas day and boxing day I still kept an eye on the social media to make sure we didnt drop a bollock or get the page flooded with racism. There was nothing more to it than checking an e-mail that came in and deciding if it was important enough to respond to (none were) and scanning the channels occasionally, and since I was sat on my phone for most of christmas was no real extra effort. If you aren't going to volunteer then its really immaterial what the actual situation is as it doesn't matter to you. I would recommend you have an actual discussion to find out what the realities are as I can only offer the vaguest of advice without knowing for sure.

Spangly A posted:Depending on the extent of paper trail, you've potentially got a solid grievance in that lot. The details will matter on both forced leave (what days, do they reject all other requests, can you prove that they reject all other requests, will they try to argue it's an implied term) and "volunteering" work (who is being asked, how formal are these requests, how do they feel about "no", are you allocated timeslots or shifts, or are you asked to occasionally log into an email server), but at the bare minimum HMRC would have some questions that will almost certainly result in some quiet changes to these practices. Having specific dates where a company is closed and that you are required to use your leave is fairly standard practice and would not constitute a grievance. Certain industries will shut down for 2 weeks in a slow period and require you to use your leave for this time. Again without the actual specifics its very difficult to say what the request even was and I would never suggest agitating in the workplace over what could be a misunderstanding.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Almost 24 hours after the first one, I've just got an email from Labour to my party membership address, so yeah it looks like it's much bigger than affiliates. Twitter complaints seem to suggest the emails are being sent in date order which would make sense as I was an affiliate for like 10 years before joining. The email I used to sign up as a member got tagged this morning. I didn't use that for anything but official labour emails so I think they had their entire database with a third party.

https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1456319220820684815 So the police have arrested the person that stole the vicars identity and stole his house, but notably their first response was that this wasn't a serious issue and to contact action fraud. Only when the national press got interested did it get escalated to the serious fraud office. Guy still very unlikely to get his house back.

Depends on if the current owners give it up based on the sale being fraud?

They havent said exactly what the motive was but it does appear to be that case based on what people are saying. Each house had 2 allocated parking spots so I wonder if the previous owners had only got 1 car so next door just assumed they had all 3? Who knows. loving mental.

Borrovan posted:Sky News have got an aerial photo of the parking situation, & the police tape being up suggests it's probably an accurate slice-of-life: That red car parked across 2 bays and the blue car parked where it is suggests what was happening. Those spaces arent allocated but the red car owners are clearly 'claiming' 2 spots and I would have to guess that the nutcase absolutely lost it over not being able to park immediately outside his front door. Its 100% some neighbors from hell stuff that's escalated to the insane level. I've seen videos of people going mental and smashing cars up for parking infront of their house on a public road 'Thats MY spot!' etc but its always in the heat of the moment, nothing like this thats premeditated. Payndz posted:There's a housing development near me (in the centre of Bournemouth) that used to be three or four Edwardian semis (with small drives, enough for at least one car each) which were flattened and turned into a solid wall of something like 30 flats. Number of parking spaces for the entire development? Four. And this is in part of town where all the streets are double-yellows. The minimum price for a flat in Bournemouth is now about £100k, so it's not as if they could even justify it with "these are low-income flats, so obviously the buyers won't have cars." You must live near me because I know exactly the development. What they're doing in Westbourne too is causing even more aggro. 30 2 bed flats and only 15 car parking spaces.

Are SSE in trouble? I got an e-mail saying my direct debit is going up 20% for gas due to the energy market. Mind I'm on a fixed rate and also in credit by £100 or so. I'm also massively in credit for electricity and have been for over a year so I thought its time to get that refunded which of course you cant request online. I called the number on my bill and its just a recorded message saying they can only deal with Gas and electricity emergencies at the moment. If I want to pay a bill press 1, if I dont have gas/electricity press 2. Thats all the options I have. In the e-mail that i got about the price rise there was another number which goes to a recorded message about the price rise, so I assume its been sent to loads of people. I managed to get through on that number and the lady on the phone said it made absolutely no sense why my bill was going up so much when it should be coming down based on the usage but that the deparmtent that could look at it was closed. I know we've got some utility company knowers in here, any rumblings?
