To avoid having more than £50,000 in any one bank (I believe multiple accounts with the same bank are only guaranteed up to £50k total) the number of accounts would have to be rounded up.
Admin
No, you keep the remainder as cash under your bed and pay it into a new account as soon as it hits £50k
Admin
That would be incredibly poor financial management anyways. That kind of money should be invested in something. If you feel better with something tangible, put it in real estate.
Admin
Rounded up works for me...

Citation needed for your inaccurate information. In the meantime..

Your £85,000* figure relates to deposits, not investments. For
firmreadlicencefor which multiple 'banks' can reside under a single 'licence' (which was accurate in your description.)Investments however retain the £50,000 limit:
* The somewhat weird £85,000 limit was based on the €100,000 limit in the EU when the limits were changed.

I apologise for the inaccurate post. Sorry.

Well, this must surely be a first, eh?

No one stops them trying to assign P, AP, SA, PM, BA and DBA to the same poor soul at the same time. (Usually users are testers so at least you don't need to bear all the roles. :weary:

Not when the Business School is one of the better (for the money) places to have lunch round here.

In Czech we have a backronym for MBA, “mladý, blbý, arogantní”, which translates back as “young, stupid, arogant”.

Neckbeards?

Let me tell you about these things that could revolutionise your language. They're called vowels...
A Czech guy once taught me a whole sentence that had no vowels. I don't remember how it went (although I remember I couldn't say it properly), but apparently it translated as 'stick your finger through your throat'.

Admin
Wut? I wasn't joking…
Admin
No, I always apologise for mistakes if they are drawn to my attention. The trick of course is not to post while half asleep. I had had a letter from the bank that day reminding me of the rules, and I simply didn't check my recollection.
Admin
No, that was my feeble joke about MBAs and coffee shops. Clearly I'm not contextualising enough.
Admin
Ah. Well, the MBAs clearly have no idea how to run a coffee shop in a university. Or a piss up in a brewery. But at least it's OK quality-wise (when they don't run out of popular stock! :wtf:) and cheap too.
Admin
Preparation for the real world, then.
Admin
Precisely.
Admin
?
MBA types are always shaven and dressed in fitting suit with a tie (and “mladý” is simply “young”, no connotations).
Admin
‘ý’ is a vowel (in Czech, ‘i’ and ‘y’ are read the same). As for ‘l’, it's a semi-vowel. It does not need not stinking vowels around it.
Admin
It looks similar to what fedora wearing, white knight nerds are stereotyped as saying

I kind of meant in general, on this site. A lot of people would stand by their incorrect post and accuse everyone of misreading it or misintepreting it, or shoulder aliens, and so on and so forth...
