    I would suggest you approach a financial adviser, Landsdown Hargreaves were pretty good, I will point out that of the four bonds we purchased 1 lost 6% of its value over 3 years but regained to parity after the full term, the rest did ok giving around 5.8% return, we could have done much better...

    New CU installed, right type RCBO for EV?

    To be fair all this seems just a reflection of the murky world of tax avoidance ,warranty avoidance and over complex competence registration.

    More 'socialist' Labour bods caught with their snouts in the trough.
