    Would you post your personal bank statement to agent?

    Don't worry mate, its a sad fact that many on this forum don't read the original post, and even those that do are just looking for a reason to insult you... i get it all the time. sensible intellectual debates don't seem possible in this place, even in the 'professional' sections of the site..

    HSBC Premier Account... any good??

    Do you have one of these accounts? how's you experience been with them?? I was aware of the dedicated relationship manager, but are they any good?? Are they able to answer questions or are they a waste of time?? (glorified call centre staff maybe) That's the kind of info I was hoping for -...

    HSBC Premier Account... any good??

    Benefits i can read about, but was thinking more about the level of service, like do they answer the phones promptly?? do they speak English?? All the kind of stuff you only find out about AFTER you start using the account... What aspects of the account are bad?? is the internet banking...

    How to set up central shared server at home?

    What sort of power consumption are they using?? given that in a home server environment, they are likely to lay unused whilst we're all at work, are these boxes draining the power grid for no reason?? With typical home pc's and their 300watt+ PSU's, im reluctant to leave one on 24/7 as a home...

    Claiming for Taxis.

    LOL, how did i know that was coming... But at least you have the courtesy to reply, unlike certain others in this thread who, true to character, once their obvious mistakes have been pointed out, seem to go silent... until that is they see the next post of mine they can misread and insult me about!!

    Claiming for Taxis.

    Thankyou.. It started as a sensible question that could have resulted in a sensible debate had people bothered to read before throwing insults. All too common occurrence on this forum unfortunately, which is a shame considering all contractors i have the pleasure to know in person arent like this...

    How to set up central shared server at home?

    Get one of those plugs with a built in timer to reset the power every night at 3am.. Thats what i do with my dodgy old router that seems to hang occasionally, it turns off a 3am, and back on at 3:02.

    Claiming for Taxis.

    yep, i have another mate who does that. no expenses whatsoever! guess it simplifies the paperwork though...

    Claiming for Taxis.

    Oh dear, another troll who didnt bother to read the thread before attacking... One more time for the people who cant be bothered to read, the question was not "Can i claim for taxis", the question was "any thoughts on why my mates accoutant might say that HMRC dont like taxis!!!" How many...
