Re: Redundancy

Sadly I did wonder about you reading about all the Sky culls.

Not massively enjoying my job but it's a tough market so will keep my head down for now. Just the 11 years until retirement :(

Re: How far would you go to help the Police?

To answer the question - I wouldn't have done any of that!

Only time I came across something similar on the m11, smackhead weaving from lane 1 to 3 and back again to block us overtaking, I just sped up and disappeared.

Bless you for the social responsibility though.

Also watched maybe 3 mins out of the 45. The car influencer knobs at least give us a start middle and end. Give us a dyno, shakedown etc. Next project.

Re: First Cars - Insurance

Hi, my 17yo is taking on his gran's C1. Seen a few mentions of learner/provisional insurance, looks like the way to go. Veygo are quoting £37 a month - about right or more shopping around to do?

Re: Your fleet running reports

It's just a starter...rock the car back and forth as hard as you can, with it in gear. If the starter is accessible give it a good smack with a soft face hammer (or a hammer with a rag). You might be blowing a load of money for no reason.

Re: Employment query

At my old place there were wholesale redundo's in 2017 where 3 months pilon was paid tax-free. Top payout was about 23k iirc, so well under the 30k limit. No-one got investigated.

Private number plate

Thinking of an xmas gift. This a 'new' style plate rather than a true private plate. A few sites offer the service at ~300 plus the 80 squid fee. Is this a rip-off or pretty standard?

Cheers,
