Postie put card through ‘You need to pay £5 at the collection office to release your delivery. Puzzling, was only expecting an #Evri item. Went down, it WAS the Evri item. Their latest scam. Evri guy just shoves letterbox-sized items in nearest post box and marks as delivered

Anybody else feel that @LloydsBank has had its day. Been a customer for 45 years, can’t even get a promised replacement Debit Card after mine was blocked due to suspicious activity. Their online chat system is crap, not interested in finding solutions. Time to move I think.

It remains a puzzle. Jack Charlton died 10 July 2020 and his estate was valued at around £790,000. In his will he left his 1966 world cup medal and shirt to his three children Deborah, John, and Peter. He left everything else to his wife who is by these accounts still alive so that was free of IHT. The only IHT issue would be if the medal and shirt were valued at over the IHT threshold which is, then and now, £325,000. The highest price obtained for one of these on-field winner's medals is around £250,000. With the shirt it might have crossed that threshold. But the two together would need to have been valued net of expenses of sale at a total of £825,000 for the surplus to be £500,000 and IHT of £200,000 to be due. That is more than the court approved value of Jack's whole estate. If any IHT was due it should have been paid by the end of January 2021. Giving the medal back to his mother to reduce the IHT would have to have been done by all three siblings in agreement by a deed of family arrangement within 2 years of Jack's death ie before 10 July 2022. If that was done to avoid any IHT charged on the medal and shirt then the story could sort of be true. But £200,000 seems completely implausible as the whole estate net was worth £789,714. If anyone has further thoughts let me know. I have his will and grant of probate.

Hey @blinds2go can I ask how to speak to a UK-based customer services advisor ? You’ve misread an order and sent a wrong sized blind. Your foreign call centre said they’d reorder, then forgot, then did it, then cancelled it. Sick of trying.

What do you think @dieworkwear ? Rishi Sunak showing that despite his billions, he might as well buy his clothes in a charity shop. The guy in the middle showing why full cutaway collars should be illegal, and the guy in the right needs another 2 inches on his jacket

This is awful. Criminalising and hospitalising high level ingenuity. I’d have been offering them places on my degree course. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Exceptional work, I suspect this is typical of the majority of the Covid buccaneers. File alongside Mone, @carolvorders

Interesting and accurate read. I worked with facial matching software under development in law enforcement, and also saw in China how prevalent the technology is there in everyday life. It’s coming here.
