No wonder there is no money left for the nurses of junior doctors! :roll: :roll:
indeed, not sure what the guy does but intimating a just under 50k salary for a 10 hour week does make you wonder wtf is going on in the nhs
The bulk of my income is from state pension and 2 final salary pensions. The NHS is just for holidays and the upkeep of the car. :D

More just to keep my mind occupied and stopping people from defrauding the NHS and stealing your taxes.

My Parents had a caravan near Ruthin, so I often used to cycle over the Moel Famuau road, in my teens. Exploded a tyre crossing the cattle grid once and promptly crashed into the grass bank beyond it. Back then. it took but a few moments to wander up to the summit from the road, as I recall. I took Mrs G up there a few years back. Seemed they had moved the summit beacon further away, as I got older. :wink:

Wow, welcome to retirement. I requested a policy change to both car insurances to change employment status and remove business use. Just charged me 35 quid to update the one policy and no doubt will be same again for the other policy so 70 quid :cry:

I don’t think I would have bothered- it’s only an element of the policy you won’t claim on!

Unsure Ron, how much do they do background checks on your policy if say the car was written off? I imagine they would try and wriggle out of a claim if you failed to inform of any changes :? Unsure
