I know this is a joke but I’m worried it might not be in the future.

They can’t cos it’s obvious bullshit

The fines go direct to central government rather than local.

UK isn’t as car centric as US and we have a (not great but better than US) public transport system.

I get that. I don’t get why my employer should be aware of it though.

That’s bonkers. My employer has No reason to know my credit rating and unless I’m working in some kind of ‘protected’ industry not sure why I would require a background check.

Why on earth would debt effect getting a job? My employer doesn’t know my credit rating.

Mortgage and loans I understand but not the job bit.

Not saying the UK has it right (cos we definitely don’t) but the ‘loyalty penalty ban’ has really helped.

You can’t be charged more for staying with an insurer than if you were a new customer.

Last year the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology drew media attention over the inclusion of an AI-generated image depicting a rat sitting upright with an unfeasibly large penis and too many testicles.

I must admit that made me laugh a little.

Good luck and hope it goes well. Hope you get to improve your skills and move to something with better hours!

Worcester mate. Home of the sauce and disappointing train rides into Birmingham.

West of here Hereford direction and into Wales is a lot nicer temp. wise.

Melting and grumpy about it. I prefer winter and like it icy and cold.

Only 4 weeks left on current contract and then some time off to do fucking nothing.

Anything set up or taking some down time to reset and chill for a bit?

Definitely a look of ‘what?’

‘I’m just sat here’

Ehh… . Better but not perfect. Not everything on the app is on my web portal annoyingly but most things are. shrug

You can use the website instead of using the app.

Same login.

Very much this.

If you live in the UK download the fucking app.

If all the ppl. removed about the phone lines just used the app. then the ppl that actually HAVE to use the phone lines (digitally excluded ppl) wouldn’t have so long to wait \ phone back every day.

Every time I’ve needed to contact the gp for something I’ve done it through the app and then I’ve either been contacted back with advice \ an appt or an onward referral within 24 hours.

If you need help quicker than 24 hours it’s an emergency, if you think it’s an emergency but don’t want to go to a and e it’s not a fucking emergency.

Thank you

Got myself a life changing book.

This was outside a charity shop. 👍

Someone’s stuck a really big green sticker on your car. That’d gona make reversing difficult.
