Did you not study physics/maths at uni then? I just assumed that you did.
I will definitely come to you for VBA help.
Yes of course, but that was 20+ years ago. I might remember the bits you wanted to know, but I might not. Whereas the A level stuff is immediately familiar because I'm doing it every day.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

In that case, I can deal with physics/maths up to about A level, most things about churches, Oxford colleges, Excel (including coding in VBA for it) and (these last three legal ones from a purely amateur perspective) more than I ever expected to know about divorce, being executor of an insolvent estate, and fatal accident compensation litigation. Oh, and PV panels.
I'm not sure I'm a specialist at anything, except perhaps to a specific area in which I run my business, which is so specialist I don't know anyone else who does it and would not be any interest to anyone here. I am however pretty good at council tax appeals, having been behind the winning of the biggest one ever in this area: £110k of rebates approx. Mostly my head is full of irrelevant and generalist cr&p. It does however make me ok at pub quizzes.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Every time I have looked at council tax banding appeals I have decided I am at more risk of being banded up than down :eek:I think....0

michaels, they can't upgrade your tax band in light of the extension until you move. However you definitely shouldn't appeal!Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I appealed mine and got £80/month knocked off. Landlord (who lived here before us, we are first tenants) got a couple of grand in rebate so was pretty happy with us. Only thing from MSE that's ever saved me any money!0

No but when you do the historic valuation (is it 1991?) both this house and my last one appear to have been nudging the upper boundary of their band rather than the lower one....I think....0

Oh, that's interesting. I thought they could increase on account of the extension. One new thing I learned today, thanks.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
