The other bees will follow her in due course. Well, now we know what happened to the last Mrs Mullarkay. Or at least this is the story he told the Police. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No expert but it could be 20% Vat on the £56.38 plus maybe a tenner for processing it by the delivery company, you shouldn't have to pay customs duty. https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'm pretty sure there's a limit on how much you can buy before there are extra charges and it's over £100 something. If someone tags BFTD he'll know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy to leave them alone but should they be removed? I've just noticed what looks like a bee's nest in the roof of next door's shed, which is just over the fence. They look like Tree Bumblebees, and from what I've read they pose no threat, and will naturally move on by the end of July. We need as many bees as possible, so the more that can be left alone, the better. Edited June 24, 2023 by Soapy FFC 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsClarence Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I've been in a job that I quite like since last October. There's another, similar job within my firm going, it's better money and in a different area which would remove the things that most piss me off in my current role (tied to a yearly cycle doing the same shit, having to speak to external auditors all the time). I didn't think I had the experience but after speaking to the manager in the new job she said I'd be a good fit and really encouraged me to apply. Is it a bit cheeky to try and move out of a job I've only had for 9 months or so internally or f**k em? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, plenty of managers/companies view that as ambition rather than take any offense. The manager encouragement is simply a green light. Worst case, you gain visibility within the company as being eager to “improve” yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) When it comes to non-ISA savings accounts, do basic rate and higher rate taxpayers lose 20% and 42% of their interest gain, respectively? *assuming that the interest gained doesn't push them into the next tax band.
