The main thing I ask about on-call is what the scope is and how many people are covering it.

There's one end where they have a kid who takes calls and literally 70% of them go to you, plus you are on call every other week because there's only three on the rota and one guy quit/is on holiday.

And then there's the other end where there's multiple on call teams and your team only gets called for very specific reasons, you are one of 5-6 people on the rota, on call bonus is massive plus 1.5*wage for every call out.

The video quality problem really winds me up. Not gonna canc though because I bought through Turkey and it costs less than a dollar a month.

The BBC news at 10pm on this was hard to watch. Boats across the channel full of Sudanese men standing on each other are no place for little girls.

Weren't Freddos 5p and now about 40p? So 8x. Not that your point isn't still valid. Wages have maybe doubled.

How unethical do you have to be to stick a child in an Airbnb with agency staff and profit from it out of the public purse...

That is most definitely not a fun fact. It's bad enough having the Yanks telling us how to speak our own language!

Owners of care homes in 'current year' are potentially the worst example of unregulated capitalism. Somehow managing to profit off of the suffering of both the workers and the residents/residents families. It's awful and not even like it's that easy to fix because most can't afford the higher costs that come with ethical care homes.

Just the first of these would be massive. If after your 9 points wear off and you are back to 0 any further offence instantly is 9 points instead of 3 for 5 years then you aren't going to speed are you.

Let us know how it holds up, I remember it as a kids book but maybe it's better than that.

I'm still reading the stormlight archive as per forever but also the secret barrister and just started asimovs foundation which has been on my list for years.

 

I've read stuff on Reddit in the past about people charging your card multiple times or other general dodginess. I think I'll try not to get too drunk as one defence but being informed would be useful too. Anyone got some tips?

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have enjoyed the recent boom on YouTube of urban planning and transport content from the likes of NJB, citynerd and citybeautiful. Not to mention the one of videos from others like Adam something etc.

However they all either have an NA focus or a worldwide focus and I've not been able to find something similar regarding the UK of any quality. There's Gareth Dennis' podcast but it's a bit too difficult to engage with for non pros. Any thoughts or should I start my own channel?!
