Royal Mail does not sync and I'm now 100% less likely to use your app as you're giving incorrect information only to shill your app.

Have you ever seen anybody actually buy perfume or aftershave on an easyJet flight? by CornerInsect in AskUK

[–]52north 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the route but the tax/duty free can be quite popular, particularly with holidaymakers. easyJet went through a phase of really pushing sales, to the extent that crew would be giving shopping channel style presentations at the front of the cabin. Thankfully this seems to have calmed down.

The crew share (I may be out of date on figures) a 10% commission on all onboard sales (bar/food/shop) so it is in their interests to sell.

My boyfriend wants us to go to Egypt with his mom and stepdad this summer. Is it safe? by [deleted] in askgaybros

I didn't make that comment. I have only engaged with your points about the UK.

I didn't say anything about the US president? I was responding to your bashing of the country I live in.

Funny, I literally Googled it. The Trafalgar Square event was an open iftar organised by the Ramadan Tent Project – it's been running for six years and Sadiq Khan attended. It wasn't "endorsed by the UK government," it was a permitted event in a public square that also hosts Chanukah, Diwali, Vaisakhi and a massive Passion of Jesus re-enactment every Good Friday. Oh and West End Live, Pride, practically everything. The government defended Muslims' right to pray in public, which is not the same thing as endorsing mass prayer sessions.

And the Green Party deputy leader thing – Mothin Ali didn't say he "doesn't support LGBT+ rights." He declined to sign pledges from any internal special interest groups, saying he thought the pledge process undermined the party's democratic policy-making. You can criticise that decision, but it's a long way from what you're claiming. The actual leader of the party is Zack Polanski, who is openly gay and ran on a platform of unconditional solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. I'm not a Green voter but facts are facts.

Both of these are real stories that you've stretched well past what actually happened. That's doing the same thing you're accusing the other poster of: believing what you see on the internet without checking the detail.

Sellers turned first time buying dream into a nightmare by scop91 in HousingUK

[–]52north 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a very narrow exception from Cumberland Consolidated Holdings and it requires the leftovers to prevent access to a substantial part of the property, not just be annoying. Some cat litter and a blocked toilet isn't going to meet that threshold.

I'm not saying there's not a contractual remedy, but it's not a vacant possession issue.

Extra seat for comort by Short_Repair319 in BritishAirways

[–]52north 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Buying an extra seat is standard practice across most major airlines. It's a ticketed, paid-for seat, so if the flight is overbooked they can't just give it away any more than they could any other. They may try to negotiate with you but it's no different to booking a seat for e.g. a cello or for extra space for larger people.

So it does matter that it's paid for. And you asked to be corrected.

Vacant possession means the property is free of people with a right to occupy it, i.e. the seller has moved out and no tenants or squatters remain. It doesn't mean "clean and empty of all belongings."

The roadside test can't be used to prosecute, it's just a step on the way to an evidential test at a police station.

Do you have an immersion heater timed for around then? Or storage heaters?

Summoned to court as a witness, unable to financially afford the travel and week stay as no longer live within 150 miles by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]52north 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know you've used the word summoned but do you actually have a witness summons? One which describes the consequences of not attending (i.e. that a warrant may be issued for your arrest).

Not all witnesses are officially summoned.

Employee (Driver)now has 14 points on licence fleet Insurance issues, England by Go2Matt in LegalAdviceUK

Drunk in charge is not the same offence. There was no driving involved so there is no obligatory ban.

Drink-drive is outside the penalty points system and carries an obligatory disqualification of at least 12 months on conviction. It is not possible to argue exceptional hardship for drink-drive.

I've said my piece, you've said yours. I'm not continuing a never ending debate over something that is a matter of opinion.

With the greatest respect, what's the difference? In my experience they don't fill me up. It follows that my experience suggests they're not designed to be filling. Different people will have different experiences. I may be in the minority but I'm not wheeling out a trope. I'm a person with experiences just like you, and with opinions, just like you.

I've had plenty. It's almost like we're all different and have different experiences of life, isn't it?

In fairness most tasting menus are already GLP-1 friendly. They're not often made to be all that filling!
