I guess that some of the best advice shared might not be particlularly suited to a round-up of best advice!

 

[ChrisGoodfellow]

@Financial-Modeller Because it's too brutal, you need the context of the wider discussion or something else?

If it's the context, we'll definitely introduce/ explain what it referrs to and link back to the original.

I guess the author of the best advice was probably also given a strike for that post or at least the way it was delivered

 

[ChrisGoodfellow]

Here's a quick, rough look at what got the most reactions (not including posts about the community). We won't use this as the definitive list, but it's a useful starting point.

Previous customer and small claims.

Hello I could really do with some advice on a LTD company currently being struck off with company's house. A bit of a back story my husband carried out work (bathroom refit, labour only) through his company a year ago (Quotation was in company name) the customer was a nightmare to say the least...

Is it within my rights to get an abandoned vehicle removed from my driveway when the owner refuses to do so?

@Ragesloth - you are making a big deal out of something that’s very simple. Get some mates round and just move the thing. Dump it somewhere in the middle of the night and run away. No no no. This is fly tipping and completely illegal.

How about the advice we all give that guy who wanted to make billions to buy Man U?

 

[ChrisGoodfellow]

@japancool Can you share a link? I had a quick look but could only find something about Man U memorabilia. I would also like to see a plan to make billions!

 

[japancool]

Unfortunately, I can't remember his name.

I wasn't being serious anyway. The poster was, if I remember correctly, a 22 year old kid who had never had a job, was taking an apprenticeship and wanted to know how he was going to make billions to buy Man U. He clearly either had no idea what he was talking about, or was trolling to forum. I think the advice was "get a job".

 

[ChrisGoodfellow]

@japancool Can't believe you didn't share your fool proof guide to making a billion pounds. ?
