Re: New HSBC Account Not Being Recognised By UK Pension Service

Re: Your first wage.

I worked in a kennel live in. 3 days a month off. £1 a week with 10 hrs a day. Labour of love. The novelty wore off after about a year off empty promises.

The bank accounts are no longer under probate. All this is assuming joint ownership. Very upfront company, everything in plain English.

Re: probate etc in Cyprus.

I am currently just starting probate. Our wills were mirrored. Everything in joint names. You still have to have probate, as in most EU countries. The old fixed % percentage is no more.

We bought our new mattress from them and they don’t appear to stock duvets, but I’ll give them a call and confirm that. Thank you.
They do have them. Where the curtains and other soft furnishings are

Wheelchair ramp.

Does anyone have, or know someone who has, a no longer used ramp suitable for a wheelchair, or know where I might get one? ASAP. I find it difficult to negotiate two close together steps with the chair.. TIA.
