I suspect things have changed considerably. Almost all students live in purpose built accommodation for a least their first year - and these have huge clothes washing areas. Insofar as I can judge, most students are pretty well turned out, at least by my low benchmark.
. . . or your experience is untypical.
A friends daughter rejected her place at her father's 'alma mater' because the rooms in hall didn't have 'en suite' bathrooms. Things have indeed changed greatly.
It's easy. Plenty charities helping the unemployed etc are crying out for volunteers. Might open their eyes, rather than believing everything they read in the Mail.
You complain about many almost everything (e.g. paid a "pittance" in 4 EU countries) but when you later explain yourself it turns out you're overstating matters. You are a bit of a drama queen if I may say so.
I'm surprise you can bear to live in such a dreadful country. Zimbabwe would welcome you. They are used to old fools.
Quite. You need to minimise the numbers who see your rubbish.
Is your quote on the older or newer scheme?
If it's on the older scheme (which still operates for people born before a certain date who have not yet retired even though they may be of pensionable age), it ought to be on the new one.
Someone else said thyat recently. It is not borne out by the relevant DWP website.
That break-point was acknowledged earlier in the thread.
Ask a silly question...
That is why there is also a means-tested scheme capable of delivering up to £23,000 pa (£442.31 a week) in London and £20,000 pa (£384.62 pw) in the rest of the UK.
A well-evidenced one.
...which raises the question as to why the benefit scheme should.
That's as maybe but not everybody took it in - and it is not the only statement in this (lengthy) thread that has needed reiterating - some several times...
It's my personal quote based upon the date that I shall retire (but expressed in todays money)
so it's a calculation for the new scheme

Did a call-centre person tell you this over the phone ?.
If so, I suggest you ignore it, because a BR19 requires a lot of manual work to collate all the data. Or at least this is how it worked up to a year ago. This is why you cannot go online and show an immediate calculation of your new pension there and then. All you can do is request a BR19 and then wait for them to post the calculation to your address.
And if you have neither a current passport nor a mobile phone then have fun trying to setup your personal account.
You gave your answer. Not the same as *the* answer.
Really? To most it's for the last part of their life.
Bit like saying when your insurance company pays for a repair to your car it is only a stop gap until you get a new one.
having had to use it for the past 12 years for my Self Assessment
tis not a problem
