I made the mistake of booking one of these OYO rooms in London recently. Seriously shocking they'd even try to claim it as a hotel, dingy bedsit maybe a better description. Would never book with them again.

I would be very interested to see what a vote for 'English independence' would return. It'd be fascinating considering the benefit we gain from it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a large majority vote to go it alone.

If the Liberal Democrats back down on Corbyn running a caretaker government we could very well see a second referendum that would more than likely return a remain result. It certainly doesn't settle things, we're going to have the

> don't forget Wales voted to leave too This is debatable. It was very close and the large numbers of English retirees in parts of Wales that made it seem that Wales voted to leave. Brexit is very much an English project.

If we crash out without a deal the case for a new referendum becomes a lot easier. It's a fundamental change to the Union and completely negates a large part of what the no campaign claimed where the benefits of staying together. I do

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see the Scottish government make it easy to get citizenship, at least in the short term. It would be an easy PR win to show large numbers of Brits requesting Scottish citizenship.

My understanding is you can get Irish citizenship if you have Irish grandparents. I'd expect that to be the same and for the Scottish government to offer citizenship to current residents. My hope is to use my wife's Scottish herit

More than likely the dissolution of the United Kingdom. Scotland will have another referendum if we leave with no deal, and odds are they will vote yes this time. A hard border in Ireland will more than likely result in a vote for re-unific

I'm not sure anyone is knocking the service WeWork provides. We have an office in there, managed to negotiate a great discount. Staff are happy in there. I wouldn't invest in it though.

The GDPR does a lot to protect user data. As someone that’s implemented stuff at a huge company for GDPR and at my startup, it was waaaay harder at the larger company. The ICO has been beyond helpful with the few questions I’ve had recently

So am I, "Don’t blame the tool for mismanaged expectations.". This is correct IMHO. Inviting customers in that expect support is setting their expectation that they'll get support in real time. I could think of potentially tw

Is this intended for support? We use single channel guests at the moment to collaborate on projects with external companies without any issue. This seems to be geared towards that.

Well you're nailing it IMHO. I'm currently working at a big enterprise place to pay the bills while working evenings and weekends on a startup with a friend. Going from JIRA in my day job to clubhouse at the startup is like a brea

Given, I've not been involved in many of these large contracts for a while. But every time I've dealt with one of these before, at a size you seem to be mentioning here, its been under NDA.

Whats to solve though? You just phone them up, or email them in my experience. I think at least 3/4 cases when I drop some company an email I get a startup discount. Even if they weren't on this list, I'd still try my luck.

This is my concern tbh. It's less about the 20min shorter travel figure, or the idea that is just extends the London commuter belt. But that we currently seem unable to deliver projects like this reliably or within a reasonable budget.

Each time I've got a sofa I've done it on credit. It's always been 0% interest and it seems sensible to keep money liquid if someone wants to give me credit for free.
