    Safe registration for a public services card.

    They do have it on file, the issue is in making sure that they match the correct details to the person getting the card.

    Safe registration for a public services card.

    Your passport only has your name and date of birth. Those aren't enough to uniquely identify you so they need additional data points, usually the mother's maiden name.

    theft query

    Watching for hidden items is part of her job, so I'm not surprised she was spoken to about this, but I would have thought that unless she has a history of inattention that training would be more appropriate than a warning. Does her manager/supervisor do any regular training, or test purchases...

    theft query

    Can you be clearer about what happened. Did your friend serve them and not see the items, see them and accuse the customer of stealing, or what? What was the warning for?

    buying house LPT

    They have a recommended wording to be added to the general clauses in the sale contract. I expect you could try to remove it, if both sides agree. [broken link removed]

    buying house LPT

    The exemption for first time buyers was only until the end of 2013. Was the house a new build, or what exemption did you think it came under? It sounds like you solicitor is apportioning the charge for this year between you and the seller. This is in line with the Law Society guidelines.

    Car crash - who is at fault?

    Car B cannot read anything into an indicator being on, other than that the bulb works! With proper observation they should have realised that car A wasn't slowing for the turn, and should have waited for them to pass.

    How to claim 10k NL Scratch Card win

    It would be to cover the bit where it says something like "1 in 7 wins" That will have been the distribution of prizes originally, but may not hold true now that some tickets have been sold and won.

    Professional added years for public service pension

    If meeting the requirements didn't prevent them from getting 40 years of service, then I can't see that they would have a case for getting added years. Note that the second reference below says that prior service may affect any award of extra years. From the DSP green paper on pensions...

    Professional added years for public service pension

    It only applies on first entry, as far as I know. The purpose of offering it is to compensate for the years of service you would miss while getting the necessary experience. If your experience is gained while already serving, then you haven't missed anything, and can't reasonably expect to be...
