For anyone that is into these events there is a new photo-marathon being organised in Oxford later this month ( I am friends of the organisers, who are mostly members of the Abingdon Camera Club, but not involved myself). Full details of how it works etc are on their website...

What is going to be real fun is if debt collectors buy up these “fines” from NCP’s administrators for pennies in the pound and start trying to pursue them without all the original evidence or fallback on the appeals routes.

The thing with the making tax digital is that ultimately it will not just be the summary figures uploaded, but all the underlying transaction data(such as invoice numbers and totals). Hmrc will then cross reference company A’s data against company B’s data, alongside bank transactions etc to...

The Aldi in Didcot had to implement a 90 minute limit soon after opening as commuters were parking up and walking down to the train station for their daily commute.

We went camping on the south coast on Monday, supposed to be coming home Thursday or Friday but gave it up as bad job yesterday and came home. The temperature staying so warm overnight just meant the tent was getting hotter and hotter and there wasn’t much we could do with a dog in tow. The...

WCMUT, having Ghana in the work sweepstake…

For many years the door to door visits have been outsourced to Capita (who have a reputation for trying to get people to sign paperwork agreeing they have been watching tv without a license). The BBC have also recently started a temporary contract with a debt collection specialist called...

Did they say how much the remaining contract buyout was? When I left Plusnet a few years back I misjudged the end date, and they only charged something like £7.50 a month to cover their lost profit. Appreciate it’s still some cost, but may be worthwhile investigating to be free to get your own...

They have stopped co-mixing stock as they call it, but it will take a while for any previously mixed stock to work through their system.

As always in life it’s the fun of volunteers booking professionals, the volunteers have their own lives, families, holidays etc so try and get it prepared early - my own club are currently scheduling the program for September 2026 to May 2027 (they don’t meet over the summer as the attendance...

My understanding generally is it’s more that Nikon uk is part of a separate legal entity (NIKON EUROPE BV) and take a percentage of sales for imports via authorised routes specifically for warranty management work, and don’t get it for grey market as the importer/distributor in the products...

I cannot remember an event at the NEC, business or retail, over the last decade where they haven’t been present, as well as the guide dogs.

They squeeze everything together for financial and logistical reasons, carpets and cables etc are all paid for by the metre…spread all aisles out by another 10 metres and it apparently all gets rather pricy rather quickly. I went yesterday and found plenty to occupy myself but it does feel like...

They have apparently been having sporadic issues of this type for months now (I have had such issues on roughly every third Friday this year..)
