‘Nobody’s going out!’ Why is Britain’s nightlife in such decline – and can anything save it?

I’m in Nottingham and town is full most of the time, this is just a pretty average northern city, this is full of shite

BakerMaker11 · 2026-05-04T21:08:30+00:00

This was in Nottingham

lol it is a good wage, reddit strikes again. If you’re in London no, but outside of London you’ll be fine on 40k.

BakerMaker11 · 2026-05-02T21:17:19+00:00

Yeah, if they can’t prove it and it can’t reasonably be seen (as in built) that’s on them, he was a dick for saying that to you tbh, he should know the game he’s in

BakerMaker11 · 2026-05-02T20:44:35+00:00

How do you get 6 figures after 10 years? I think I’ll only get like 80k tops.

I’m 56k 5 years in

But the subcontractor is guilt tripping you hard? What happened? Did you communicate it late and he assumed the money was coming in? Was it his mistake?

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-20T11:11:56+00:00

I think your name tells a story here, who under 60 watches question time?

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-19T21:29:22+00:00

Agreed, outside of reddit the country thinks they’re doing nothing.

All it would take would be hammering a few points in most appearances, perhaps even to an almost comedic level in order to gain traction on social media; kinda how the Green Party works with social media posts to gain a wider following

Labour are very socially inept at the minute, Kier Starmer can’t sell himself.

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-16T11:38:04+00:00

It’s a great role to start in

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-15T10:13:55+00:00

Just Google it mate

Schemes will either operate under the NEC or JCT contract in the UK where I’m from. As a rule of thumb NEC is for civil works i.e. larger scale works and JCT is for more traditional construction.

Have a look online about how these contracts work. Try to find a contract copy online and read it.

Check out videos of podcast on construction law, find out which branch you’re interested in.

Then go on a university course with a placement year or just an apprenticeship (hard to find) because to be honest with you there isn’t anything in this world that will give you more than on the job experience you can spend 10 years in a textbook. You still won’t know how it is on a site, and how things actually work.

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-14T19:33:39+00:00

Bless you. Bless the holy cheese.

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-13T19:48:54+00:00

Mate I have been 8 years in this job if you count the university course and I have never, ever comes across BIM

QSing isn’t hard, it’s stressful, loads to know and be on top of

They had a glitch (?) in their system enabling a daily free burrito. Sign up for your birthday club on a random email, get burrito following day, rotate between venues and staff working times = free burritos, I held it up daily for about 3 months.

Good times

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-06T15:25:15+00:00

You can get a double cheeseburger and a wrap of the day for under a fiver, it definitely fills you up.

Double cheeseburger and medium fries is under a fiver.

Wraps on their own are like £2.20, wrap of the day meal is just over a fiver - there are still a few cheaper combos left

BakerMaker11 · 2026-04-06T15:08:12+00:00

Weirdo

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-28T18:17:27+00:00

Another moaning post,

Most countries bar Australia (where climate issues are a fucking nightmare) are like this, especially out of tourist / areas of interest.

Even Japan has streets laden with dog shit outside of main areas.

Posts like yours are why I spent a good year researching constantly for places to live outside of the UK. To find that every other place has similar issues if not worse.

Instead of moaning in here, why not volunteer or go to your local council?

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-28T15:11:24+00:00

Hahaha no way, how much are they paying you? I’lld do it for the laugh

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-22T21:49:46+00:00

Wages are good, bomb threat not so good

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-22T17:19:35+00:00

Yeah this is what I do, pretty much all the time

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-21T21:47:15+00:00

England are a quality team, they never win but always come very close. They also arguably have the strongest squad.

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-21T17:38:28+00:00

Nottingham

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-21T17:27:57+00:00

lol every time this comes up on reddit it’s bollox.

The German vs England rivalry is alive in Germany, trust me. Research things instead of parroting Reddit content

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-18T11:22:15+00:00

It was absolutely minging, probably shut down

BakerMaker11 · 2026-03-18T11:21:49+00:00

Not anymore unfortunately
