It’s a 300m+ population with disposable income who love sport. Of course every sport is going to want to invest there. Look at how well the premier league have invested there, and more recently f1. Empty crowds at this stage mean nothing. You have to put the hard miles in before you get a return

These threads appear every so often, the equivalent of Clare who's clocked 27.5 years rattling around a FTSE 250 or a local SME and constantly complains, moans and resists change. Clare, do yourself and everyone else a favour and get another job, move to another city, try something else! Just go away Clare! Much like Clare, football fans will not do that as they don't have the mental strength to make a change as they age. We'll see the next generation complaining about how TikTok threads and gaming 'just isn't the same anymore' as they cross the 30 threshold.

Ending up double booking so got 8 tickets instead of 4 for the old Trafford test next summer. Anyone interested in the spare 4?!? Won’t be sat next to my group Eng v India, Fri 25 July 2025, 4th test, day 3. Old Trafford 4 spare category 2 tickets. £90 each.

No idea. Have heard of it, never listened to it. Google images search proving inconclusive

I’ve seen a bloke in Harry Potter glasses and a top knot at away matches for years, progressively looking older, sadder and rounder. Is that our pub guide Miquel?!?

You are legit obsessed with Leicester. Just let it go bro

2-0 win for jersey bulls, still unbeaten after 8 and looking good with the new manager and loads of youngsters. The ex-criminal and general thug striker bought back in from the cold is making a difference. Not sure how that ties in with their ‘family’ image but he’s a damn good player

That would have huge broadcast and commercial implications. Clubs aren’t going to donate millions of pounds for fun. Put a B team out like they all do in the cups

Stay at home

They're targeting completely the right establishments to get media attention and try and launch their influencer careers.

Lol, not really what I was getting at. More the thought that anyone in 2024 could possibly think they’ve never had covid before, by putting so much faith and trust in a 2p piece of plastic from Shenzhen.

We as in royal we. Systemic we. National we. I think you know what I mean. I also know 6 people (3 of a family of 4) who died of covid.

The mental thing is you STILL hear people saying ‘oh no, just tested positive! My first time! Omg!! Managed to dodge it for years xoxo!!’ Bro - this thing had a R rate of over 3 at one point. Whatever a cheap, mass produced piece of Chinese plastic is telling you, you’ve had covid before

Yeh I thought it was a 1% death rate. Which by the way as an absolute number is still f’’’’’ing HUGE. But yeh covid certainly isn’t Ebola which is like a 50% mortality rate?! Mad. We only cared about covid because it irritated our lifestyles rather than those easy-to-forget Africans. Anyway funny to see @Paninistickers still winding up people and getting their personal anecdotes as hard evidence in response

Are you referring to climate change??? There's unlimited profit in climate change. Example one - we have a legally binding net zero target and a serious lack of battery storage options. If you can figure that out you will be a trillionaire. The stock line of no profit in climate change is proper pre 2015 fake news.

Would rather do that and die at 75 than bang on about polypholobolosites and half of the other sh1te spouted in this thread and die at 100. Read ultra processed people, it’ll make you badly want a burger. Jokes aside I do follow a lot of the preaching on here. But everything in moderation including moderation isn’t hard and should be followed

Yeh man. Also aside from the health aspects we've never had it this good ever. We have global opportunities to work and earn, you can work remotely from anywhere, you can launch and scale a venture with very little upfront capital, free tech solutions exist that can do tonnes of grunt work for us to help that scale and minimise on time and cost. Our options are almost unlimited. Listening to the 'only three days until Friday!!' and 'this country is finished mate ticket office shambles I'm moving mate honestly' crowd is now no longer annoying, it's pathetic and sad.

All the above is very useful. Sauna then cold shower is my addition.

All true, but you're forgetting the most important point IMO, which is the responsibility they have. Nothing in life really matters apart from health and education, that's a hell of a responsibility, of which office workers cannot empathise. I am an office worker btw. Again no offence to your average caricature of a pen-pushing mid-senior management admin parent working in an SME or FTSE 250 in regional England.

'To earn above the norm you have to either own the business or manage a lot of staff.' - True, but not representative of your argument where you are using low quality, low yield stock as a guide. Ie 2 up 2 downs in Leicestershire earning c.£500 a month in rent. Please quote evidence of £49k described as a 'low salary.' 'To use a what is clearly a business owner in London as an example of what all Agents earn is silly' - Incorrect, an field associate at a mid-market practice 'I also think confusing the fee and the paid commission is not reasonable.' - Try and spot where you are wrong by reading my original quote - if you manage 20 all-electric 1-bed flats at a fee of 13% at a market rate in zone 1-3 London of £1,600 pm, assuming you keep 25% of that fee, you earn £12.5k commission. I could be one of those online 'debunkers.' kenny - you've been DEBUNKED!!!!!!!!!

Because a salary of £49k is a long way from wealthy in today's world. And you are talking about the lower average-bottom end of the market. I'll say it again, peddling 2 up 2 downs across Leicestershire is a long way from lucrative for anyone involved in that trade. For both yield and appreciation. Luckily we live a globalised world where a transferable job can be taken anywhere, and income can go up in the usual fashion.

Are you talking about all estate agents? Or just that one in Sileby.

Yep, that's how percentages work. Low rent = low percentage management fee = lower salary. As you said in a previous post, this goes up in the usual fashion and there are levels of ambitions to jobs, then associated increases in compensation based on that. No one is going to get rich peddling a 2 up 2 down in Leicestershire.

Well the person in Leytonstone I've just spoken to does. I strongly suggest you do.

If we're bringing variable pay elements into it then it's a whole different party. Estate agents earn their hay on commission, if you manage 20 all-electric 1-bed flats at a fee of 13% at a market rate in zone 1-3 London of £1,600 pm, assuming you keep 25% of that fee, you earn £12.5k commission. For absolutely no work. If you decide to do some work and sell a few houses. You earn stacks. This is on top of a quarterly bonus and probably a pension of 10%. Remember this is for completely unskilled and unqualified labour, so they should earn nowhere near what teachers do. Anyway, my original point being that the poster does happily pay his estate agent more than his kids' teacher, on an hourly pay basis.
