I think what you say about red tape is correct. I imagine most talking about "own business" mean one-man-band contractor. None of that crap about payroll, employment law or operating work-based pension schemes for staff.

I must say I'm disappointed. Thought this was going to be about a massive sign in a prominent location.

Fingers crossed.

I saw there was something about some Chelsea lady who's goal was "as good as Messi" earlier. Haven't seen it but bet it wasn't.

Most of my cash is in GBP in the UK. I opened a Metrobank account a few years ago to take advantage of their free use of ATMs across Europe (and excellent exchange rate). I opened a Czech account last week from my boss's recommendation (this will deal with my day-to-day stuff). I foolishly failed to see that I can't make transfers from my metrobank account (may be possible in branch in London) and I need to transfer a decent chunk of GBP into CZK to pay deposits, furniture etc. I want to transfer the money (a few k) at the best rate possible (ironic starting this thread today). I thought I could do it by extracting cash from ATMs using my metrobank card (staying below the £250 daily limit) for a few days. I read online about about a company called Transferwise that has accounts in various countries and transfers in same currency but takes a few quid in commission and uses a good rate. Anyone have any experience of using them? TL:DR Anyone have any experience of using Transferwise? Can anyone recommend an efficient way to transfer money out of the UK? Thanks in advance.

I've got rent and deposits to pay on my new flat. Which reminds me, I need to start a new thread.

In simple terms, is her Harry Potter idol Tom Riddle or Severus Snape?

300 knighthoods not a big enough bribe? Need more time to check behind the sofa for a groat AND a turnip?

Does that ruling give rise to all 28 nations invoking article 50, putting pressure on the EU to bow to their whims and then revoking article 50 at the 11th hour, only to invoke it again the following day?

Don't see that happening. She's too divisive (much like @DTMark says about TR). If she becomes French president then all bets are off regarding how far UKIP can go.

Since then we've been livin' on a prayer.

Possibly. In the new year I will be living on a street that was named after Lenin for half of the last century.

Nothing about the march on the Czech news. Something about an anti-Brexit song being released and a bit on Paris.
