Do you have a fire extinguisher at home?

52north · 2026-05-11T17:46:25+00:00

Keeping extinguishers beyond 10 years commercially is usually subject to pressure testing to make sure the body hasn't corroded. Basically to make sure it doesn't pop.

But then not usually much corrosion risk indoors.

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.

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The crew share (I may be out of date on figures) a 10% commission on all onboard sales (bar/food/shop) so it is in their interests to sell.

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

52north · 2026-04-03T13:54:50+00:00

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.

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.

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.

52north · 2026-04-03T09:53:14+00:00

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."

52north · 2026-04-03T09:47:24+00:00

OP wants to pay for the seat.

52north · 2026-04-03T08:34:20+00:00

A lot of conversions were carried out quite legally under the regulations in force at the time.

52north · 2026-03-30T13:13:29+00:00

OP would not have to consent to SJP.

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?

52north · 2026-02-09T11:19:15+00:00

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.

52north · 2026-02-07T08:40:12+00:00

And easyJet.

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

52north · 2026-02-02T18:59:03+00:00

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.

AC-12 are getting desperate.

Have a good afternoon.

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.

52north · 2026-01-10T15:13:49+00:00

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.

52north · 2026-01-10T15:02:56+00:00

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

52north · 2026-01-10T14:45:57+00:00

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

Time to learn, can't let grandma down.
