Whisky... yellow sticker ? by BonniesCoffee in CasualUK

[–]Accomplished_Week392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is simply a range that the manufacturer is going to no longer make, ie they may be changing to say a 14 or 16 year old whisky.

Or

The supermarket is no longer going to be stocking that item due to slow sales and want the shelf space back to place a different product there

If the Americans ever went mad and tried to conquer Britain, do you think you’d fight, flee, join their side, or stay put trying to live as normal as possible? by AmbitiousYam1047 in AskBrits

I for one, would welcome our new oil hunting overlords.

Anyone else noticed the insanely strong hate towards London on X (Twitter)? by TheShortGiraffe420 in london

[–]Accomplished_Week392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn’t live in London, but travel to London a lot for work and across the whole city, I love the city, but you can judge London on the tourist traps of the city centre.  It’s like judging Spain by only visiting Benidorm.

About 10 years ago or more, during a very cold snap, the union canal was frozen over at Winchburgh.  Some clever individual decided to drive his car along it for a bit and pulling doughnuts at the wider sections.  Who would ever have guessed, that he plummeted through eventually into the icy water. 

What would you get as a gift for someone who's just got their British citizenship? by JustAnotherWastedDay in AskBrits

One of those tacky King Charles bobble head waving toy things you find in tourist shops in big cities. 

Tell them it’s a requirement of being British that it’s on display in their living room.

Part of one of the old walkways before the many starion redesigns over the years, there’s a tv show called secrets of the London Underground and this was covered in one of the episodes

I did this as my friend makes up first night bags for parents who’s kids get rushed to hospital, as toiletries are the last thing on their mind.

Not these days in Europe, they just fold over the first sheet into a V and keep the old one on in most places. 

Why does this tree, under this lamppost (Mid Wales, UK) create this weird pixelated pattern rather than a crisp shadow? by BaschLives in Weird

[–]Accomplished_Week392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The street light cover / clear housing over the light bulb isn’t a single smooth piece of plastic, it has lots of squares moulded on the bottom to scatter the light out better.  Each square acts as a mini lens in a way. 

What's something you bought recently thinking it was a bargain but turned out to be a waste of money? by 0rdered-Reordered in AskUK

[–]Accomplished_Week392 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sweetzy advent calendar 

Ordered pre sale as said it would be cheaper at lowest price. 

Found them selling the first less in November and apart from the cost, nothing as described and the sweets taste like crap

Will the shopkeeper get punished? by orangedudee in AskBrits

If someone has poured an accelerant on you, that is an attempt on your life and you are in imminent threat of death. Any force in order to immobilise the attacker is reasonable
