it never ceases to amaze me at how many apparently 'intelligent' people seek advice on potentially complex personal financial matters on a website from which advice is provided by (essentially) anonymous individuals.
I guess the issue is that the questions are not presented by clients - indeed many are by anon....
That said rude/sarcastic/nasty replies haven't changed - just that the amount of sensible/well positioned questions have reduced.
Of course there is irony in your comment regarding people posting without stating their qualifications - kinda begs the question why you would ask an important personal or business related question on a potentially complex area of tax on a 'free' forum....
the most dangerous type knowledge....'not knowing what you don't know'
You appear to be exhibiting this....take some of the advice given on the chin.... it is given as much to protect you as it is the people you are advising.
Well I am happy to fit in with the 'get rid of cash' gang....but presume that if the payment facilities of said supplier break that they will sell for free.
A visit to costa just yesterday where their internet had broken to the extent they could only take cash shows just how brittle the push for electronic payments could be.
That said why don't they just get training on the 'old' style card machine as a back up....(that one that swipes a carbon print)….old it might be but as usual provides a reliability that the new tech doesn't!
the question is who are these 'people'....they wouldn't be the owners of tech companies by any chance....or governments who want to have the brother eye on you or indeed bit retailers who want your spending habits...

the irony was not lost on me alone then....

as long as you have registered with said body for MLR (them merely being able to 'supervise' is not sufficient)
isn't there an implied trust in place...
starting as a tax junior having decided upon a career change....together with a pay cut of 70%....gulp!
but this management was only from when you left the UK?
