I've just received my contract from my new employer and it contains a clause stating that I may not discuss my remuneration with anyone either inside or outside the company.

I've never come across this before and am not comfortable signing it without looking into it - can they LEGALLY require me to accept this term? I need legal grounds please not personal opinions to help me form an educated opinion. References to British legislation to quote would be greatly appreciated.

My sister lives in South Africa and wants me to send her some cleaning wipes for silver and brass (yes, she leads a sad life!)

Anyway, apparently you get seperate ones for silver and brass and they sound a bit like a baby wipe that you use once and then throw away.

Anyone have any idea what she's talking about and where I can find them in the UK?

They must be disposable not the ones you reuse.

I moved to the UK 2 years ago, have had a full time job since then which pays fairly well. I have a British passport and a bank account here as well.

Because I haven't been here for 3 years I struggle because I don't have a 3 year credit history within the UK.

I now want to move out of the staff accomodation I live in but am worried that my lack of credit history will prevent me from being able to rent my own place, even though I am British and have a full time job.

Anyone have any advice or knowledge on this?

I was diagnosed as having carpal tunnel syndrome at the beginning of the year, but it has become really bad in the last few weeks. I often get numbness in my fingers which doesn't go away very quickly and my right thumb is almost permanently numb.

Is this a progression of the problem or does it simply get a little worse in the winter months?

In the halal diet, why are vegetarian products with egg not allowed, but vegetarian products with milk allowed?

I've been told that if I put an egg glaze on a vegetarian pie it is not halal - friendly, but will be if I use a milk glaze.

I'm confused!
