People on 6 figure salaries, do you feel well off?

Someone I know who is on 100k claims they are not feeling rich and it very hard to live of this. They live outside of London.

I find this hard to believe but I am not earning close to that so cannot be certain.

How comfortable is life for those of you who are earning 6 figures?

Car insurance issue - help please

was hit from behind by another driver A few months ago. My car insurance company have told me they have it down as non fault. The other driver has not admitted fault to my car insurance company as of yet.

I am due for renewal and on money supermarket but option is only to put at fault or not at fault. There is no option to keep as open claim.

Do I have to mark as I am at fault? I tried comtacting some insurance companies to ask if they will refund me in future when claim is closed but they are not picking up.

Sheilas wheels and esure seem to be only decently priced options if I do search saying I am fault. Other options disappear.

Is it worth challenging the investigator at ombudsman?

I had issues with the way my car insurance claim was handled after a no fault accident. The issues happened over a period of 2 days where I essentially had to do a lot of work to get the claim moving. At 1 point the car insurance company even sent me an email saying the guy who hit me rang up and wanted to settle privately and another where the guy said he didnt have his car insurance details go hand.

After complaining to the car insurance company and getting a reply after 8 weeks saying they need more time, I went to FOS.

The investigator has spent 4 weeks and come back and said in their view I am not owed compensation as it was over a short time frame and they have looked over the emails. I challenged this and queried why call recordings were not asked for as they would show the amount of time and effort I had to put in. Investigator did not agree.

Is it worth asking for this to go to the ombudsman?

Why did Nag fail to make his sons stars whereas Chiru succeeded?

Akhil has 0 hits and has struggled. Nag Chaitanya has the odd hit but is not even tier 2 star.

Charan has given Magadheera and Rangastalam alongside other big hits in the past excluding Peddi.

Why did Nag fail?

Do you avoid eating out at places with low food hygeine ratings or do you take a risk?

If a restaurant for example has a food hygeine rating of 2 or even 3, I actively avoid as I worry about my health.

I do know of people who are happy to eat at places with a food rating of 1 though which makes me cringe.

Do you avoid or try it out?
