    Will, probate and equity release advice

    We used a company called Fiddler and Pepper for the probate for 2 relatives we lost. They had been reviewed in a national newspaper as a low cost probare solution. For one relative, the solicitor who had drawn up her will quoted 10k to deal with her estate...FandP was about 3k plus vat I think...

    The next Conservative Leader thread.

    It's not just the Tories who were supposd to have committed electoral fraud. Cat Smith, for example, is being investigated. May is a creepy crawly. Shirks responsibility when things go wrong, presided over the eborder disaster, criticised the police then did nothing, did nothing about non EU...

    **** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

    Ordered a Jiayu S3 3gb version a couple of days ago from 'Blomberg Mikki' on aliexpress, who seems reputable enough. Will see how it works out. It's android 4.4 though, and won't hold my breath waiting for an update, but reviews seem positive and I've been impressed with the jiayu G3 I've...

    Majorca holiday booked

    Got back yesterday from a week in Carla Bona. That place was nice (small harbour), Cala Millor next door was a bit too touristy for us. The Mrs mum had her purse nicked in the shop at the Sanctuary at Lluc, which seemed a bit of a boring monastery type thing anyway. The leather market at...

    A mobius is the only one I think I've seen without a screen and is reasonably rated.

    All Three One Plans to be cancelled from today

    I don't use more than 30gb per month with 3 tethering to my tablet so not a desperately heavy user, but I don't have broadband so it is my only internet access. Looking at getting a new tablet with 3g sim slot now as presumably that will still allow unlimited data, and just switch the sim from...

    Where to start = Buying Silver and Gold

    Bear in mind the 20% vat on silver purchases. You might consider an allocated storage company like gold money.com; I've used them in the past and is vat free. You just have the spread and storage charges to deal with. Scrap sterling silver coins from eBay are another possibility, as is flatware...

    A man has been charged with sexually assaulting a 10-week-old baby girl.

    You wouldn't want to be a nonce in prison after being convicted of this particular crime though. Dead man walking I would expect.

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    Looks like anyone can call them selves a doctor if this is true. http://www.policespecials.com/forum/index.php?/topic/120098-protected-title/

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    I think that before 1995, dentists were called Mr. Then numbers of EU dentists arrived who, because of their country's specific degrees, had the right to be called doctor. In order not to appear inferior to the public, UK dentists then insisted on being called doctor and the BDA said it was not...

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    No, my point is that neither a PhD Doctor nor a Dental Doctor may be of any specific use when called upon in an emergency for which a medical doctor is required still stands, I think, edit to add: and was more of a point about what the public's perception of what a doctor is.

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    Well that's right, the ad now has to explain in detail "the similarities and differences between the practitioner's qualifications and medical qualifications", a dentist doesn't have to stop using the term Doctor.

    Wrong subject, but that is my point exactly.

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    Indeed, as I understand it a Doctor in a medical setting could be an honorary title granted after obtaining a bachelor of medicine degree, or a postgraduately trained specialised MD (using the title Mr) or a doctorate PhD. The point is, I guess, not what you are entitled to call yourself but...

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    And you'd be getting confused with being a medical doctor all the time I expect, which is why I avoid using it in a non-professional (science) setting. Most people think doctor=medic, rightly or wrongly. So for example, if I got a job in a hospital pushing trolleys but used the title Dr it...

    ASA say yes, but with a name like that you could get away with it

    Dentists calling themselves Doctors

    Well it could matter I guess if you had booked a flight using the name Dr. xxx and an emergency illness occurred during the flight (or some other improbable scenario). As the flight attendants called out for a Doctor you steam to the front and say "open wide" :)
