I don't how much this helps, but if they do try and proceed with action, there are many much larger companies that do the exact same thing, for example ASOS is currently running 20% off in the app, and Hotels.com removes some of their fees relating to claiming free nights when using the app.

You could consider tucking one of these away somewhere near the fusebox. It sounds a loud battery backed siren whenever the power is off...

Go on amazon or any hardware website and buy yourself some folding steel bollards. Install them when the offending vehicle is not there and lock them in place whilst you're at work to prevent them stealing your parking spaces.

I installed some to stop people using my drive whilst doing the school run. I live near a school and people seem to think that means they have a right to park on other peoples driveways if they're dropping off or picking up their kids.

>Counsel, I would like to draw your attention to a note that I have received from the Lead Juror on behalf of the entire jury. It appears that the Jury are requesting video evidence of the defendant - quote - "eating an ham sandwich entirely covered in seventy percent.. ghost... pepper.. psycho.. juice" - I think - "with the expression of a man who regularly eats the same or similar sandwich for lunch on a daily basis".

> Yep the sad thing is it’s true

The sad thing is that people believe it's true but it's not. Our laws on self-defence and defence of property have been inexpertly demonised by tabloid papers: the truth is that they are eminently sensible to any reasonable person who might choose to educate themselves.

I would strongly recommend Fake Law by The Secret Barrister. Chapter 1 is all about the totally inaccurate myths which have sprung up on the subject of self-defence. You'll see that actually the law is perfectly sensible, and not at all fucked up.

Not legal advice, but they might be more willing to do something about it if you can prove there's something up with it. There are water testing kits for sale on Amazon etc.

Their are hundreds. Family law has a significant overlap with human rights.

Someone has literally written a book on it https://www.amazon.co.uk/European-Human-Rights-Family-Law/dp/184113175X/ref=nodl_

If you go to family law week (website) you can look at various cases.

Well first, don't be tempted to let someone else take the points for you, that's how you don't pass go and go directly to jail.

What you do is wait to see what comes in the post, the registered keeper will get a letter asking to name the driver in question.

If that's you, you reply saying it's you, if it's someone else then they reply giving your details - make sure they fill it in and sign it - not you! Failure to furnish the driver details will get 6 points for the registered keeper. You will then get your own letter.

You're looking at 3 to 6 points for the speed + fine, 6 points + fine for the no insurance and depending on the status of the other passengers, points +fine for 'driving otherwise than in accordance with a license'. If you get to 12 points then it'll be a totting up ban.

The owner of the car could also be looking at points and a fine for permitting someone to drive with no insurance.

If you are really lucky, and you don't try any funny business to try and get out of it causing someone to investigate further then you might just get the points for speeding, if the car is insured by someone.

They will want you to buy a license for the period of time you have been using it. You can buy it outright from their website for £3.5k. If you cannot make them happy or come to an agreement with them, they can take you to Court for the full amount, though often they don't actually want to do this.

It's worth noting they have a free version for non-commercial use. You can agree a repayment agreement with them, £10 a month for 25 years or something if you cannot afford to pay it in one go.

Unfortunately, there is no easy or painless way out of this situation.

The two most likely explanations are FB shadowing or a bot creating it from data harvested elsewhere (I suggest checking out https://haveibeenpwned.com ).

I would try logging on the account again from a Private Window, so your cookies are clean. If you can log on, use the feature to delete the account; if you cannot, contact FB and report the account as fraudulent.

I don’t think you have any realistic chance to find out how it was created. If you can log on the account, i think there are ways to see recent logons which might give you a clue, and the Activity Log might have something. Beyond that, it becomes a question of how hard can your lawyer shout at FB. You could try pinging the Electronic Frontier Foundation UK to see if they’re interested in pursuing it.

Not a lawyer but musician.

He’ll be using a distributor to get the music onto Spotify/iTunes and he would have most likely agreed to have all the copyright stuff in place for that to happen.

>If they didn't give out the PFN then there would be no repercussions for what you did. You wouldn't learn anything from it.

>Those that don't learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

Whilst this might be a fair outlook on life, from what the OP has described they did not make any mistake at all as there were no ticketing facilities available - and even if they had made a mistake, that does not automatically mean that a Penalty Fare is morally justified, let alone legally enforceable.

>The machine was out of Order? So?

>That doesn't stop you from going to the ticket kiosk and buying one from the employee manning it!

Most stations don't have the luxury of a ticket office. The OP has confirmed their boarding station didn't have one.

>That doesn't stop you from going on https://www.thetrainline.com/ and purchasing a ticket there.

The existence of those ripoff merchants is not in any way relevant to whether or not there are ticketing facilities. Ticketing facilities are those physical facilities that are present at a station, and any apps or websites that might exist are not counted. It is entirely understandable that people might not want to rely on their phone battery not dying - lest they receive a Penalty Fare despite having paid their fare.

I swear 90% of the posts here are "Granny didn't make a will and now everyone is fighting over money"! So get a will. Only takes a few minutes to do if you have a fairly simple estate. You can get one for free if you agree to leave a bequest to charities.

Have difficult conversations now - and let your partner know they can talk to you about difficult things. Are you struggling with money? What do you want done after you die? Do you want kids? Are you tied to where you live? What will you do if a parent needs long-term care?

Make sure both of you have easy access to all your documents. Passports, insurance details, mortgage deeds, receipts, guarantees, bills. Online is best. Your insurance details should be on your phones so you can use them in an emergency.

Use a password manager like https://bitwarden.com/ - to generate strong passwords, but also to share join passwords. If you die, how will your partner get access to the utilities' account?

Talk to your friends and family about who they use for financial and legal advice. That's often the best way to find a trusted advisor.

The glass is about a fiver from Amazon. Spare yourself the hassle and spend two minutes fitting it: plug in two wires and push.

Most second-hand car warranties have an explicit list of what is covered. It won’t include mirror glass. Even manufacturer warranties have exclusions and exterior glass will be one of them.

I have had exterior mirrors on VW group cars fail (between me and my brother and my parents we have had six, totalling about fifty years) and you just replace them.

Why did you wait for 90 minutes? Was a train cancelled?

If train was cancelled go through the operators delay repay scheme.

If the insurance is this one https://www.thetrainline.com/en/help/question/6256/what-is-trainline-protect-and-how-do-i-make-a-claim then it's for extra things like you cancelling when I'll and lost luggage that the insurance covers. It does seem to mention wooly things like missed connections but I can't see the full policy.

I think ive solved it - looking at Open Street Map it appears the route splits some way back, and there is a higher up designated cycle path, which i presume is counted as the same path. I still think the signage is very unclear though.

To help things, I'd consider contacting https://antisemitism.org/. They should be able to provide advice and also make a fuss once this evidence comes to light (though if they're minors, maybe not), but I'm sure they'll still be able to help.

I do not believe that there is any legal requirement for them to provide a mobile text service, and their alternative of text relay is a reasonable suggestion, though if there are no suitable apps for your phone that is obviously an issue but unfortunately not theirs.

If there’s room available, put up a paper privacy screen to block the view to the bathroom. Say that you thought the room needed a little more decoration. If there’s not enough room, still get the privacy screen and put it out when you use the shower. Block the view without touching his ‘property’. Quick amazon search brought up this. You could federally make one with old boxes if you are in a pinch.

Look through your texts and see if there was a link, if so then that may have been it. I guess lesson learned is to never click a website link from any text message or email, always go direct yourself.

Most drones transmit their video on the 5.8G band.

You could buy this receiver - https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-ROTG01-Pro-UVC-OTG-5_8G-150CH-Full-Channel-FPV-Receiver-WAudio-For-Android-Smartphone-p-1347396.html with this high gain directional antenna (in rp-sma) - https://www.banggood.com/Aomway-11dbi-7-Turn-5-8GHz-Helical-Antenna-RHCP-p-952615.html

You can then use this to tune into what the quadcopter is seeing and record it, make sure you point the antenna at it.

The information overlaid on the screen should contain gps coordinates and/or a direction home etc which you can use to find the pilot (and shout at them).

There is a possibility that the quadcopter isnt transmitting on the 5.8G band (alot of DJI products dont), but its quite likley it is and its worth a punt.

The equipment will be easy to resell on ebay :)

I hear that /r/ProtonVPN does about the only secure free VPN and does a very good free secure email service. You just have to log into the email every two or so weeks in order to keep it active. Otherwise they'll close the email account. The paid service is pretty pricey for email but is one of only about two secure email services available to the public. Based in Switzerland and subject to Swiss privacy laws.

Amazon have a few, try this one

Thanks mate, sorry for the stupid question but how exactly does that work? I buy the app from the the play store then just connect my phone to the car and it will let me clear the fault?

You don't need permission if you have something that is fitted internally and points out of your window, but if you live in a rented property you might need your landlord's permission as it will be drilled into your property.

If you have an old phone lying about you could consider using Manything: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manything.manythingviewer&hl=en_GB

It's an app you install on an old mobile phone which turns it into a motion activated CCTV camera, suitable for daytime use (or when there is streetlighting) only. I use it to cover my house when I go on holiday. It's about £4 a month.

That could be a good immediate measure until you get an Argos system installed.

>To be clear, the reason I want to download the information is so I can find out WHICH passwords of mine were breached as the website doesn't show this, it only shows the email effected.

There's a form to check your passwords, too. It's perfectly secure, but it's up to you whether you want to put your password in or not. If you've read the article, you'll see that Mr. Hunt has taken steps to make the whole process as secure as possible.

> He signed the documents but forced me in to cosigning because he needed my salary as a support.

That should make things easier - it seems hardly worth the bank coming after you in the UK when he is nearer; they should be able to pursue him with their usual tracing methods, and their usual debt collectors.

I would try to get them to see sense as early as possible - "this loan was taken out by my ex, John Smith. He was abusive over a long period, gaslighting me, manipulating me and using me financially - I left Australia with nothing, and was glad to get away from him. I have no assets and am now unemployed / on a low income (delete as applicable) - I think it would be more productive for you to pursue Mr Smith for this debt."

This doesn't remove your liability but, as I said before, half the law is what you can achieve so if you make it clear to them you have nothing they're more likely to focus their efforts on him.

Knowing that he's a co-signer makes me think they're just flying a kite - most people are right scared of debt collectors and tend to cooperate. Often - but not always - they'll go away if you ignore them.

Have a listen to this NPR podcast - it's about american debt and debt-collectors, but some of the principles are universal. Debt collectors buy debt at 10% of it's value - they might pay £50 for a £500 debt, or even less - so they only need 2 or 3 people to pay up. You want them to see you're a waste of time and not worth their effort.

I wouldn't tell them that he's got rid of the car, because the loan was probably secured on it - they will be looking to repossess the car from him. They can probably still do so, from the new owner, but it makes it harder - you want them to perceive him as the easy target, not you.

Honestly, just buy a new phone or borrow one if you can. You can get something like a used Samsung S7 for £60 which you can just resell afterwards for a similar price.

Takes a bit of effort but you're putting yourself at risk for letting this go on for any longer.

No, you will not have any issues as the map is available to use even for commercial purposes under the Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license!.

I assume you will be amending the file to add it onto your products?

You should also note that you will have not have ownership of the map used in your products and you will have to make them available under the same license to others.

That is pretty cool.

Wow, news to me - I stand corrected! Looks like it is really only for massively high-profile web properties though. Still, I'm surprised I hadn't heard anything of it - I've been their customer and followed their blogs for about five years!

Thanks!

> Agreed, but it's a struggle to get abuse reports through them to their customer's upstream hosts sometimes, and they've disclaimed responsibility for what they host/shield. Which is frustrating when you have a genuine takedown request.

Takedowns should go direct to the domain registrar, then. Alternatively, Cloudflare can forward abuse reports to the hosting company on your behalf. In fact, it might be an idea for /u/badr911 to try going through that route to report the site.

Practical advice once there is no legal requirement to maintain the data (HMRC, etc) I would recommend something like DBAN (https://dban.org) to nuke the laptops physical storage. Failing that remove the disks and find somewhere which does physical media destruction

If you are worried about the download side, your ISP would send you a letter stating you have downloaded something that is copyright protected, this letter will not tell you what it was or when it was, simply that you have done something wrong and should delete any copies that you have. This normally only happens with Torrents and are very easy to check based on IP addresses, go to , many companies that are concerned about what is being downloaded/distributed will use something like this and send out letters to your ISP and My inturn they will tell you. You normally get a couple of warnings from your ISP until you are taken to court by the company if you persist.

Get something like NordVPN, they offer a great VPN service, it's fairly cheap, has apps for every type of device and allows torrents if you want.

I believe there are apps which let you block everything with part of a phone number in it.

From a quick search this one came up. Go to add to block list > wildcard > type 07391861. After that click the name/number and set it to 'disconnect'. I don't have the app but that seems to be a simplified version of how to do it. Might be a short term fix while you are in contact with the relevant offices.

Is it patronising to suggest that your outrage is based on ignorance… when you are in fact ignorant?

The primary pieces of law which affect how people defend themselves are:

• Common law, which holds that “if a person honestly believes that he is in imminent danger, he may use reasonable force to avert that danger”;

• Section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967, which says a person may use reasonable force to arrest or assist in the arrest of suspected offenders; and

• Section 76 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, which says that a person is not expected to weigh to a nicety the precise measure of force which is “necessary” in the heat of the moment

For a great rundown of the topic for laymen, I would strongly strongly strongly recommend Chapter 1 of “Fake Law” by The Secret Barrister, which talks about all the myths on self-defence (like the one your question is based on) and the actual position the law takes. The Kindle edition is £6.

These earplugs are the best I've used so far, my mother used to snore ridiculously loud in the next room and I was able to get a quiet night sleep with these in. Do not use the silicone ones, they are absolutely rubbish and won't block anything. You shouldn't have to go through this trouble, but if you are worried about using these and not waking up when your alarm goes off, you can use an alarm for deaf people too

A tenant asked me to provide additional security to her front door and I fitted one of these. Better than a chain IMO. Loop lock

Would one of these work?

It's a device intended to be used in hostels and hotels, where a person might not feel safe even behind a locked door. I've not used one myself so I can't guarantee their effectiveness, and it may depend on how your door and lock work, but it might be worth considering.

I'm sorry, I was trying to avoid falling foul of advertising a particular product or supplier. I can't actually find the exact product I was thinking of but something like this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Security-Portable-Perfect-Traveling-Apartment/dp/B09N95FHVZ/

should seriously be as secure as an internal door lock, but without the legal implications. Other products and suppliers of products are available.

If you want to hang up real cameras, you can use something like the TIUIHU Flexible Mount for Google Nest Cam Battery. I use it to wrap around my fence and monitor my driveway. I think you can wrap it around just pretty much anything. But you do require a Google camera. The company also sells other mounts but since I haven't used them, I can't vouch for their quality.

Firstly in most residential circumstances having a fence between properties is not a legal requirement. Though you might find clauses for maintaining a fence if the property is ex-council.

Secondly and more practically if you've just moved in I'd advise against instantly trying to replace your neighbour's fence or building your own- you'll probably put their nose out of joint and having a good relationship with your neighbours will save you a lot of stress in the long run.

If it's dogs that you're worried about, how about some cheap wire fencing you can hammer into the ground to stop the dogs getting out (assuming they're not the jumping kind). This kind of stuff: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075897YPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1. I installed some as our boundary is a hedge with loads of ways for a dog to wriggle out.

Ok sounds entirely appropriate and a conversation the VP can consent to take part in or not. Your principal is a dick, I’m sorry. There are lots of issues here and you need to choose how you handle them, it’s one thing to have the legal rights, but another to make someone behave better.

I’m disabled and have been discriminated at work many times. I choose to manage it now with a combination of boundary setting from the start, advocating for me own needs informally with colleagues (rather than asking my boss to do it) ignoring the small stuff and walking away if it all gets too much.

Practically- your fan issue is a common one for me. I need a fan all the time. Many companies won’t let you buy your own due to PAT testing and others won’t let you plug a USB fan in due to network security concerns. I have a £12 rechargeable fan and a power bank for if it runs out. my fan

I charge it in my car or at home and just take it in every day. I can also then take it with me to different meeting rooms and never get caught out. If I get too hot my pain patches push out a higher dose of fentanyl that could cause me to overdose and die. I see the fan as a priority for me to sort out rather than my employer. Technically it’s their problem but the least things I ask an employer for, the easier it is on me.

You could also put some of these fence clips on the fence - stops individual panels being lifted (and keeps them!secure generally)

As others have said he needs to give you 24 hours notice before a visit and definitely shouldn't be entering your property without permission unless there is an emergency.

I'd put one of these in the lock if it's Chubb style: Lock Blocker https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007IGV26A/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_YHZQYMSF3F9Z07SGP01B

Failing that place a large piece of furniture in the doorway.

You have a right to quiet enjoyment, regardless of what your tenancy agreement says. This means that the landlord absolutely cannot just let himself in like that, it can be considered harassment and/or trespassing.

He must give a minimum of 24 hours notice. Even then, he still requires your permission to enter the property. You would probably make an enemy, but you'd be within your rights to deny all access for the duration of your tenancy (with the exception of emergencies e.g. broken pipes, also best to allow access for gas safety inspections etc.).

If I were in your position, I would:

Change all of the locks that I have keys for (change them back at the end of the tenancy). No doubt he'll try to gain access via the other doors too if the middle door isn't an option.

I would also "secure" the middle door by whatever means necessary. Cheapest way could be to put several rubber wedge door stops underneath the door, or a pole if there is a lever handle. Or buy a door jammer or similar device, or have a locksmith pick the lock without damaging it, but that could get expensive.

I would then let the landlord know that in response to his recent unannounced visit, I have taken steps to secure the property in accordance with my right to quiet enjoyment, and the terms under which he can gain access in the future.

Hey,

I’ve been through the same.

It’s a hard road and the strength that grows from it comes handy later on, trust.

I just moved to a new uk city and started a new life and let go of everything before.

The first few months were tough but I’m thriving now. It almost seams like a distant nightmare.

You can do this hard thing!!!! I’m rooting for you.

This books good too, how to be alone:

As others have said it's perfectly legal for you to change the locks as long as you replace them with the original locks before you move out. A decent temporary solution might be to get a portable hotel door lock, they aren't the strongest but they will prevent access to your property if the door opens and won't cause any damage to the door.

I use this one when travelling and while hit and miss I'd recommend something with a similar ish design

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09B5CVRPQ/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o06\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I searched travel door lock. He can't get in unless you let him in.

The process would be mediation (required before going to court) and then applying to the court.

You can DIY it if you can’t afford a solicitor. If you’re going to do this you really need to get the book “The Family Court without a Lawyer: A Handbook for Litigants in Person” https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/099358361X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_ZZBMXKHJ8R9PQX9V8ARE

There’s a step by step guide here https://www.advicenow.org.uk/advicenow-guides

Or for more detailed guidance I recommend a book called ‘the family court without a lawyer’ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Family-Court-without-Lawyer-Litigants/dp/0956777422/ref=nodl_

Both will be useful but if you can get the cash together for a solicitor this should be your number one option.

Firstly, what a dickhead!

Secondly, speak to the management company ASAP.

Ridiculous that it should even be the case, but if needs be, get something like this in place, at least it won't cost a fortune to sort out.

Can given consent be considered implausible for the circumstances?

For parking, it's pretty clear and reasonable, to a degree. You park here, you agree to pay this much. Signs are up and visible, you are contractually liable.

Now for particular hypothetical scenario, the work cannot be done to a satisfactory standard unless that work is a graffiti.

The OP expressed a (hypothetical) wish to practice spray painting cars and not practice graffiti on cars. So I would assume they mean body work repair type spray-painting. A for profit service to repair damages.

So for a car that parks there

1: has no damage to repair

2: the work cannot be carried out to a satisfactory standard due to the need for a controlled environment to spray. Portable people use portable tents or varying size.

Inevitably the work done will be a low standard and considered damage and not repair?

So I guess my question is, does the law consider that in order for consent to be considered reasonably given, the thing you are consenting to has to be in turn reasonable?

Then assuming there is such a thing, at what point does it become vandalism?

It is illegal (under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012) to clamp, or tow, a car in this situation.

>We’re extending UK buyer protection to enable coverage for intangibles (services, digital goods, travel, event tickets and other intangible items). From 17 June 2014, we’ll review UK buyer disputes regarding intangible items where the customer claims they have not received the item, or if the service or goods are not as described. We’re also extending the time for UK buyers to open a dispute from 45 to 180 days from the payment date. You should be prepared to provide compelling evidence that you provided the intangible item and it was as you described it to be, should a buyer dispute a transaction. Purchases by UK buyers of most items can be covered except real estate, businesses, vehicles, custom-made items, industrial machinery, items equivalent to cash and items prohibited by PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy or that violate eBay’s prohibited or restricted items policy. We expect your business will be able to benefit from this change too because of the extra confidence buyers will have when shopping for intangible items. PayPal will consider all claims on their merits. If, as a seller, you can show us that you did provide the goods or services as described, we may (but are not obliged to) reject the buyer’s claim.

Not sure if this benefits you as a non-UK buyer.

So this "addressed mail" of yours, which is not addressed to any named person, but merely, "The Legal Occupier", a long-winded pseudo-official term for the householder, which you've made up, is junk mail. Here is a link from the Cambridge Dictionary. to explain that.

This seems pretty fishy... Maybe cross post in r/scams and see if they've seen it before. Defo contact the adult site and confirm theres an issue with them and that they've passed on your debt to a collection agency. This could be a case of straight up blackmail. Put you email address you used to sign up for the website here:- to see if your details have been lost to a external data breech or something. https://haveibeenpwned.com

Like /u/forshaaame says, change your password then the information is by default out of date.

Once these lists of passwords have been leaked they get collated and used by reputable organisations to check their own passwords against. If you try and create a new account with someone, or login to a site where you used the leaked password (and forgot about it), they should check the collated leaked password list and prompt you to pick another one or change your password now.

I work for the firm in question, this is not at all whats gone on. We sent a form for you to sign to give us permission to send an offer to the defendant, for them to pay a sum to OP. At no point did we ask the OP for money.

Trust pilot link >This person failed to read the letter we sent her and instead believes we sent her a bill for £800. We did not. We sent her a letter advising her that we recommended that an offer be made on her case but she failed to read the letter correctly and was clearly confused

We have never, in our hundreds of tenancy deposit claims, and had someone misinterpret that form of authority as a bill. There's literally no ambiguity in the phrasing used whatsoever.

Start with a normal wet wipe and then work up to heavier stuff as it may "bleach" the walls. Thankfully its hidden so wouldnt worry too much.

I would get it in writing that they are happy for you to use bleach to clean it which may cause pain to change colour

You can pick up a new lock barrel for under £10 online or in a hardware store and it’s a 5 minute job to remove about 6 screws and switch out yourself. YouTube will show you how. Landlord doesn’t need to be involved as long as you keep the old barrel and replace it when you move out.

You can call the energetic supplier. They can help set it up I believe. The plug is just an energy plug

You plug it into each plug. Like a fridge. Freezer. Microwave. Hoover etc

See how much it’s costing. Roughly.

So the third month was £502 alone?!?

I suggest as starting reading material the EU document, linked below... It appears as a typical hypocritical legal study, trying to present the EU nations as a model of openness... Starting with the following opening statement in the Abstract: "This study examines national practices regarding access to court files.

If you can afford them, noise cancelling headphones are brilliant.

Also, music can be distracting for some people so sounds are much better (white noise, rain even machinery etc) give https://mynoise.net/ a go.

I don’t have any legal advice but you should Install https://krisp.ai on your laptop. It’s a software that removes background noise from your mic real time and presents a virtual microphone to be used on your laptop. It’s free and has been a godsend for me during the pandemic. Removes dogs barking, kids screaming etc. I don’t have any affiliation with Krisp just think it’s awesome software.

You want them to have no letters with your name and address on it that could be used impersonate you.

Cancel any utility bills/tv licence in your name. Submit final meter readings.

Move bank statements/voter registration to a different mailing address, move ID to a different house. I'd also switch bank accounts to a different bank once you have got another stable address just in case.

Download a password manager, there are a few to download, pick one. Reset passwords on EVERYTHING phone unlock code, email addresses, laptop, social media accounts, online banking. Check all your phone numbers and recovery emails only point to your mobile number and not the landline you are leaving.

In addition to this, consider the use of a password manager. Bitwarden is free and open source and there are dozens of other commercial options out there (you're favourite YouTuber has probably done a sponsored video for one of them at some point).

You'll want different passwords for every service you use. First thing an attacker does when they find out your Facebook password is to go and see if the same one gets them into Twitter, Gmail, Instagram... A password manager makes it much easier to deal with.

I use one of these : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elikliv-Camcorder-Motorcycle-Waterproof-Recorder-Black/dp/B08DKKXKKH/ref=pd_sbs_7/260-1677442-2150701?pd_rd_w=rjv8G&pf_rd_p=a3a7088f-4aec-4dbd-97cc-9a059581fe7b&pf_rd_r=07885CESMYW4SDG176DZ&pd_rd_r=38dbb72c-950... comes with a kit so you can attach it to the handlebars.

It hasn't been tested in real life but it's pretty good at not sliding.

Get a door jammer, only usable if you are in the apartment, but it's non-invasive and doesn't require any physical long term attachment to the actual door.

Not a super-authoritative source, but I'm on lunchbreak at work so can't spend any longer digging. Check the smallprint under the "How to get a 26-30 Railcard" section here

> Please note that if you’re looking to use your 26-30 Railcard to buy a train ticket on this page, you can select the 16-25 Railcard in the dropdown and your 26-30 Railcard will still be valid.

I came across it originall as it was mentioned repeatedly during the purchasing process for my own 26-30 Railcard, and in a briefing pack for conductors that I had site of.

Agree with everyone here that you'd be best getting an accountant to help you with this. But even with an accountant you're going to need to keep good records of your income and costs. There's no point paying the accountant to do basic bookkeeping (data entry) when you can easily do it yourself using some decent software.

I like to recommend FreeAgent (https://www.freeagent.com/) which is super straightforward for a beginner. People also tend to recommend QuickBooks although I haven't used it myself.

I also recommend setting up a separate business bank account so that you can clearly separate business transactions from personal ones. Starling are great for this and can have you up and running in a couple of days.

https://n26.com/en-gb/metal

Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and in the footer you'll find "Legal Documents", then click through to "Metal" then "Special Conditions applicable to the “N26 Metal” premium account" and a couple of pages in you'll find:

> Please note that although the cost for maintaining the N26 Metal Account is expressed as a monthly cost and will normally be collected monthly, this is an annual contract and by agreeing to take the account you are agreeing to the full annual cost for the contract (ie the monthly fee for the full 12 months).

This is the only place that the 12 month term is noted -- although I did click "I agree to the terms and conditions" when signing up so I could have found this clause had I looked closely.

Again though - a difference between guidance and law.

Nothing in the English legislation so far (perhaps when published, the new legislation will add a restriction) specifically prevents you from travelling across local authority boundaries - so long as the reason you are out of the house is permitted in the first place.

From a practical point of view, even if the government did make it illegal rather than against guidance to travel cross-tier (if/when the tiers come back in) - there would have to be some exceptions.

Take a look at this map - https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=d9e550ca-fccc-4971-a9d3-61a84894c788&cp=54.497695~-1.045525&lvl=15&style=s&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

The small farm at Sleddale was in Tier 3 before Christmas, but the only vehicle access to it was in Tier 2 (North Yorkshire), and North Yorkshire Police were attempting to dissuade Tier 3 residents from coming into York etc., and on reddit there was at least one post of a person being denied access (by the police) to their nearest Pharmacist to collect a prescription.

The Police had no legal basis for preventing travel - but if they did, residents of places like Sleddale would need exceptions as they are not connected with the rest of their Local Authority area and you cannot leave people unable to shop for food etc.
