You don't think may be it's a wind up?

Ha, we had the meeting last Wednesday and it's in the calendar. Today it just didn't happen though. ??‍

gold, silver and bronze apparently but that's colourist

The gold of spades? The bronze of diamonds? That really doesn't work. They should just change the Jack to the Jill so the women outnumber the men and left the rest alone.

Gender neutral playing cards,because the king shouldn’t be higher than the queen ?‍

Are you kidding me?

Sadly not ?

There you go James...

From the Mail; She said: 'If we have this hierarchy that the king is worth more than the queen then this subtle inequality influences people in their daily life because it's just another way of saying 'hey, you're less important'.

But no issues with the Queen trumping the Jack, despite that subtle inequality influencing people in their daily life because it's just another way of saying 'hey, you're less important'...

Just watched an article on youtube about a woman that has designed a 'gender neutral' pack of cards where the jack, queen and king are replaced with silver, gold and platinum so that certain groups of the population aren't offended by gender hierarchy. You couldn't make this up.

Edit: Just seen earlier posts on the same subject

If you go to Amsterdam, you could probably get a pack of cards with 52 queens in it ?

With a King and a Queen, plus the fact that white always starts before black, I think chess is doomed.

They could make them red and green and really confuse colour blind players..

The queen is the most powerful piece in chess though...

Only if it's legend earth green

...But the king is the most important.

Maybe chess should switch to non-binary elected representatives instead of continuing with an absolute monarchy. The pawns are oppressed.

Inequality is usually deemed ok if it's the women with the power. ?

Accountants have asked for my P45, looks like my previous employers couldn’t be bothered to send it, nor the receipt for the compensation they paid. Tried their payroll department but they don’t pick up ringing phones. Have messaged their HR department, but I have little confidence in them as they broke the law the last time, which suggests they are quite incompetent. Dunno why I cannot use my NI number and get all my details

You can on the gov.co.uk website with government gateway.
Shows my previous employers and tax paid.
Never needed a p45. Can’t say I’ve received many either from 13 employers.

If it’s a residential property, and not your principal private residence, remember that you have to submit a CGT return and pay any tax within 30 days of completion
