Would I be wrong to cancel order…

Placed an order on the 14th and I enquired when they think they could send item as I’m going on hols this coming Thur 20th. Buyer read message and ignored. I followed up the next day (15th) asking if they could post or give me an update on when they could post, again it was read and no reply.

Seller has been online several times since including a few hours ago and still no reply.

I appreciate they have up to a week to post but ignoring my message is annoying me, would I be wrong to cancel the order as they refuse to communicate?

Monzo issue…

I have a Monzo, AIB and credit union account.

I transferred money from my AIB to my Monzo account yesterday. I then wanted to transfer some of it to my credit union account. I was blocked from doing so.

On the Monzo app it asks me to provide proof of the transfer from AIB to Monzo but won’t accept a screenshot of the transfer, I need a photo of a receipt I guess as proof but as it was a digital transfer this is not possible.

They have now frozen my account since last night, I can’t access my money. I spoke to them this morning and all they would say is that they would send my concern to the tech and or fraud account team but would not give me a timeline as to when it would be sorted out.

It’s a bit rich a digital bank asking for physical proof of a bank transfer!!

Not sure if I need help here or just a rant but I’m pissed off as currently applying go for a biz loan soon for a start up and can’t access account to prove personal funds!!

***EDIT - got it sorted and now back into my account, will keep an eye on my transactions going forward, thanks for all the replies

Celery or Pickles

Will be adding wings to a menu soon, obv going with Buffalo and a few other flavours/sauces.

As is tradition celery is usually added alongside the buffalo wings however I have no need for celery outside of this specific use.

Would a few house made pickles be a good alternative as will have an abundance of them from burger garnishes!?

The flair is closest I could find, hope it’s ok!

Edit several hours after op - The people have spoken, celery it is and will be forever more, thank you good people the wing!!

Naming a pub…a hypothetical question!

This is purely hypothetical but…

There is a well known Donegal pub group called McCaffertys

In a number of towns like Carlow and Sligo they have pubs under the name “Gracies”.

With that in mind, would someone be allowed to open a pub down the street in Carlow called McCaffertys or would that be infringing on some kind of trademark(assuming that was in place)

Just to add, they do operate some pubs in Donegal
And Dublin under the name “McCaffertys”

Again purely hypothetical, just curious

Offered a bar…

So I’m in discussion to take over a bar.

It’s turnkey and in great condition and on the busiest street in the city. There is a restaurant space upstairs and a fully kitted kitchen.

My issue is how to do the menu. I intend to do a short lunch menu, soup and a sandwich type thing to cater for local office workers but alongside that I want to do a burger/taco menu too.

The issue is that I want to also use the upstairs restaurant space Wed - Sun in the evenings and offer the same menu.

How would you good folks advise on how to plan this. Should I stop serving food at the bar at 5pm to get people upstairs? Should I perhaps do a reduced menu downstairs at the bar (about a third of the restaurant menu)and finish at 5pm?

Just to add. I want to have music in the bar at night so eating a meal and live music may not mix. Also, I want young people (older teens) to be able to enjoy the food without having to sit in a bar!?

Any ideas and guidance welcome!!

Curious to know if these have any value…

I have several signed CDs of various bands. The SOAD and MachineHead CDs/poster were signed on Sep 19,1999 at the Locabazooka festival in Wocester, Mass. Missing Darrons sig as he was not in the signing tent that day.

I was over from Ireland for the summer and met a few bands that day at the signing tent including most of Slipknot but some prick stole my signed cd that day on way back into Boston.

They are all first pressings of the discs or limited digipacks in the case of MH from the 90’s. I think the SOAD is an import as bought in Ireland in 1998.

I know MH are not technically NuMetql but the burning red was def their attempt at that sound haha!!

I’m asking as looking to open a biz soon and raising cash so every little helps, these have been sitting in storage for a long time and I’m gauging interest to start…

Connect master sheet to several other sheets...?

I am currently doing up costs for a food business.

I have many recipe costing docs for sauces, seasonings etc.

I want to create a master doc of all ingredients that I buy with weight, price, supplier etc and for it to be connected to the other docs so that I need only update the costs on the master and it updates the other related docs.

EG. Garlic powder would be a key ingredient in several recipe docs, it would be too time consuming to update the price across several docs but if there was a way to only update the master doc and it would in turn update the other docs with garlic powder on them, is this possible?

I hope this makes sense and I welcome any guidance!

Thanks

Vegan chicken seasoning?

Based in Ireland.

Firstly I’m not vegan, just want to be transparent in case it matters.

Now I may be opening a food biz soon all going well. I currently make a chip seasoning that includes chicken powder and I’m looking to make a vegan alternative so that I can offer it to any vegan customers as it’s genuinely delicious and I don’t want them missing out.

I’m also looking for vegan chicken bouillon to add to soup to make a vegan chicken and veg soup, any suggestion welcome!

Any help greatly appreciated!

Friend moving over from the UK…

So a friend may be moving over early next year to work in Ireland for a couple of years and then head back to the UK.

Would there be an issue with her buying a car in the UK (for me), bringing it with her to Ireland and after six months of residency she can sell it to me for a euro as I’d have paid for the car via her originally. During those six months I will be added as a named driver and it will be my car for all intended and purposes but legally under her name.

Would it be that simple or am I missing something?

Thanks
