Its not true that you still have to receive child benefit payments to protect your NI.

Re: Cap to bankers salary

I would like to rephrase what I said about 'highest quality graduates' to say 'the graduates with the best skills needed to work in banking'.

And there are 2 subscription websites called Reading Eggs, which is online I think, and Reading Chest, where they send you books - a bit like LoveFilm kind of thing.

Re: What do we need to fix?

I think the site is working really well now, and looks good (except I agree with shuffling around the home page to show the posts higher up but I know that's being worked on) My only grumble would be that I don't like posts being put onto Twitter. It puts me off posting on the site, especially if it...
