Top restaurant bosses warn Budget could force job cuts

Looking up the first company listed, Fullers.

They made £60M Profits in their financial year ending March 2024 and paid ~14M in taxes in total, of which ~£8M of that is NI. The change to NI would take their total taxes up to approx. £15M (25% of their profits)

I can see how their hands are completely tied and it's completely impossible for them to continue to operate with their current workforce /s

Light Weight Lock

Thanks!

The cycle racks are already a mess of abandoned locks and I don't want to contribute. There was talk of a lock store (essentially just a pole) being added near the racks to tidy the place up. If they ever install that I'll probably get a normal lock.

Thanks for recommendation! The hiplok looks like a great fit for what I need.

I don't think the bank is a good analogy, you get a benefit out of using their infrastructure which isnt represented in your example.

It's more like someone running a makerspace, you can come use all the machinery they've put in and produce whatever you want (within some rules of the owner) even in collaboration with others. But they've put a clause in the contract that they get a copy of everything you produce there.

In the end you're getting the benefit of using their machinery and space to collaborate and they're getting a copy of your content. You can either decide that deal is worth it or start your own space.

You reached the end
