Not many at the moment, but it looks like that number will increase.

"By 2040, all new heavy-duty trucks will be zero emission with smaller trucks weighing less than 26 tonnes being phased out from 2035 onwards.
For now, the transition is slow. Just 1% of new heavy goods vehicles...

I've used a few umbrella companies:
* Contractor Umbrella (£25.00/week)
* DASA Umbrella (£25.00/week)
* NASA Umbrella (£17.50/week)
* Sapphire (£27.50/week)

They all took the company margin out of the total umbrella income, so there can't be any law that says...

Yeah, that's another option. Although nowadays more likely to be a USB memory stick (or external hard drive) rather than a floppy disk ...

When do you get that error message? E.g. are you able to map a network drive to the Windows 10 share on the Windows 11 PC? Can you see the files? Is the error when you try to copy across? Can you open the documents in their current location (i.e. is it a read or write error)?

As a more...

I wouldn't say that it's worthless. Aside from the medal, you also get 11,000,000 krona (roughly £868,000) for each of the Nobel prizes....

Out of interest, did they tell you how much the payment would be? I assume that wasn't part of the original contract, but I'm curious about whether it's a one-off payment of £50 (which might be worth paying just to shut them up) or "the equivalent of their commission for the remainder of the 12...

Assuming that the company doesn't have any cash reserves to handle those obligations, I think there are 2 options:

a) Close down the company, and then open a new one if/when you get another outside contract.

b) Transfer money into the company as a director loan. Yes, this money...

The phone that I mentioned before is 4G, and I think that would apply to any new phone that's been sold in the past few years. Bear in mind that 2G and 3G are being discontinued at network level:

I sympathise with the first point, and I'd prefer it if people could choose between physical and/or digital ID cards.

Regarding the cost, I think you're exaggerating. E.g. I had my first iPhone for 6 years before I replaced it, and that was only because Apple had stopped releasing updates...
