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. (Link permitted by forum team)
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.

It's being reported in Aus as fact.
My experience of working in corporate financial services in Aus is that the hours are shorter, the commute is shorter and the levels of stress are much lower. Pay is lower too sadly.
Generally you get treated better at work in Aus than in London. Customers are kinder and bosses less bottom-hole like. The only person I worked for here who was a complete bottom was an Irishman. His first words to me when I started working for him were, "I hate English people". That was the high point of our relationship.0
