    Sep 2023 CPI Rate on the horizon

    Sep 2023 CPI Rate on the horizon

    Hypothetically, if you were to work in an energy company, say, Oil & Gas and encroaching on a higher tax threshold, I would be tempted not to have a financial payrise, but to negotiate offset benefits. Such benefits could possibly include a company car with a generous fuel allowance and...

    Sep 2023 CPI Rate on the horizon

    It's 6.7% only if the Govt don't use the metric associated with the Triple-lock; if this IS honoured, the higher value figure associated with average earnings (7.8 to 8.2% inclusive of bonus') SHOULD be used. The question to be asked is "will the Govt honour the Triple-lock' based on these...

    Sep 2023 CPI Rate on the horizon

    Is anyone else keeping a crafty eye on the Sep 2023 CPI Rate, due to be announced on 18 Oct, or am I the only mercenary ex crusty on here? Hopefully be close, or better still above the annual wages for the triple-lock (although the CPI has been going down of late). Next year for the State...

    Edinburgh Fringe award winning joke.

    I'm sorry, but that's about the level of hilarity which would spread around the playground at a Primary School. If that's the standard of ultimate 'award-winning' that 2023 has to offer, perhaps I'm failing to adjust to modern humour (or it's just sh!te).

    The Trial of Lucy Letby

    She's going on my Death Pool 2024 selection. I sincerely hope the 'internal jail system' sorts her out, and I wouldn't be upset if she departed prior to the end of 2023... either way, may her time be horrendous.

    Sad Story

    A sad indictment of those who call upon our brave Services, yet fail to respond in their time of need. We should hang our head in shame, when viewed alongside current activities. R.I.P Malcolm. 😔
