    the OP can either take the information I have provided, or he can choose not to. Just as you can surmise anything you want.

    Contracted developer demands obscene hours payment

    No, that would be when I have considered two sides of an argument.

    Contracted developer demands obscene hours payment

    The lawyer part is purely fabricated. No solicitor would get out of bed for that kind of money and I would charge on a per letter basis in order to "mediate". I would also I would also expect my client to have made more than one attempt to collect monies owed as that shows an element of good...

    Contracted developer demands obscene hours payment

    Here is my professional opinion. Verbal contracts can exist in law, however the complainant must show that it was obvious what the scale and scope of the job was, i.e if a builder builds an entire house then it's obvious the works were substantial, requiring outlay and would take an extended...

    Contracted developer demands obscene hours payment

    Kindai is right For that small amount of money he would need to take you to small claims court and without a written contract or even something recorded he would struggle to prove that you wrote him a blank check for a product that is not fit for purpose. He would also need to prove that he...

    How much do you think sick pay should be?

    No problem with sick pay, have more issues with sick policy. My wife works in the NHS and abuse of the sick policy is rife with dealing with constant sickies in the too hard to deal with pile. She has multiple examples of employees taking months at a time flaunting the system as each time is a...

    Anyone ever used AirBnb in UK?

    Use it constantly in Brighton and Edinburgh. Just like using booking.com. there are a few sketchy places up for rent but they're pretty obvious.

    Buy only what you need

    It's all about the middle ground. I've invested a substantial amount of money into building my house when I could have been fine in a standard 3 bed 2 up 2 down. But then I see that as more of a long term investment. I bought a £8k 5 year old car when I could have comfortably bought something...

    On The Wagon... then in 'ere!

    Take up a hobby that is dependant on you not having a hangover in the morning or some kind of fitness thing. Replace the social side of drinking with something else.

    Paedophile hunters

    Theres a big difference between human trafficking operations and general grooming. Most trafficking jobs will begin with one complaint from a victim and quickly spiral as the web unravels. They won't wait to intercept if somebody is actively being abused just to gather evidence as they have to...

    How is the Intelligent Voter Supposed to Choose a Political Party?

    I can understand the apathy towards voting but there are several key constituencies where every vote does count. Sandy Martin won Ipswich is 2017 with only 830 votes. To be honest this has been the clearest choice in an election for years. Want to overturn Brexit - vote liberal. Want Brexit...

    Best Center Parcs?

    See BSE is now one of the most desirable towns to live in the UK. Thetford remains a horror show, and not due to inbreeding. In the 60s it was a lovely small forest town, dads army was filmed there etc, then 4 huge council estates bolted on each side and filled with London overspill and the...

    Two beef patties . . .McDonald's has fired its chief executive Steve Easterbrook

    Well #metoo has now meant that anyone in any supervisory position who has a consentual relationship with a subordinate is now open for future harassment claims. It's why companies are now bringing in these policies to protect themselves. It's also unprofessional and they shouldn't be wasting...

    Best Center Parcs?

    Elvedon suffers from being very close to Thetford and often gets hit for break ins so always lock up your gear if you go there. The amount of people who stop off in Thetford to stock up with £1000s of bikes unlocked on the roof of their car, because it looks like a quant country town, and then...

    39 Bodies found in Lorry in Essex

    It's easy for anyone to appear affluent on social media, hence why you get losers all crowding around one bottle of grey goose in a club or posing in front of some random supercar parked up. Even utterly destitute people in Africa will have Sunday best clothes that make it look like they aren't...

    39 Bodies found in Lorry in Essex

    Ok heres the truth of the matter. Our lowest standard of living here is substantially better than that of African or Asian countries where the best some can hope for, if they aren't lucky enough to have a tourist industry, is some hell hole tuna processing factory. Even working in nail bars is a...

    Breathable Business Shirts

    I now swear by a brand called Olymp who are a German company with several different designs and fits. I go for the body fit level 5. The difference is they are engineered to fit like t-shirts so are more comfy all day so you sweat less than a formal shirt. Expensive and I'll usually pay between...

    ISIL, ISIS, Daesh discussion thread.

    Nice touch being chased to his death by attack dogs. Could have only been topped if it was an all female assault squad. Let's see who the next leader is then.

    39 Bodies found in Lorry in Essex

    And being charged is substantially more than simply being arrested or interviewed. I've seen plenty of people that I have been 100% sure of being guilty walk free of court because their defence was superb on the day or the jury wanted levels of evidence that simply doesn't exist, but that's...

    Apple & Security vs Android/Google

    Apple gave the FBI full access under the provision they denied it happened. Apple gained a reputation for protecting your privacy and the NSA made everyone believe they had some super hack software that could crack Apple OS
