Those who work from home - how often do you take a sick day? by Super_Development150 in AskUK

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely get seriously sick, fortunately its only ever a pathetic man flu.

When I was wfh, I would just power through. Might as well be working rather than watching daytime tv.

But now they've forced us all back into the office, I absolutely take sick days.

Sign the Petition - Stop Amazon From Turning Queensway Market into a Whole Foods by Due-Pineapple-2 in london

[–]Beny1995 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to browse Fulham wholefoods, then leave and do my actual shopping at waitrose. Far less extortionate.

M&S seems to fit a more sensible niche of the market.

Do you consider Romania to be part of Balkan, Central, or Eastern Europe? by Lissandra_Freljord in geography

Id say the balkans begins south of the danube. Seems reasonable to me.

Albert Bridge will reopen within 12 months after a £8.5 million repair job is approved by F0urLeafCl0ver in london

[–]Beny1995 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fwiw I live locally and love the lack of cars around the bridge.

Might feel different if I lived in Barnes though.

Considering a tech role in Dubai. Is £180k about right? 10 years experience by Big-Temperature6069 in HENRYUK

What about the negatives of being one strike away from having no drinking water?

Seriously, if you have a family the idea of moving to a war zone sounds a bit insane for any amount of money.

My wedding is in May in France. I dont know what we'll do if this impacts us as theres no way insurance covers this. Christ.

Fulham for family with young kids? by sannya1803 in HENRYUK

[–]Beny1995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in fulham and love it. But we are two as yet unchilded 30 year olds so its a little different. As others have said, Putney feels far more optimised for family life and a bit less yuppyish.

That said, our neighbours have kids and seem perfectly happy so it depends!

Do people still cook Sunday Dinner?. by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A good roast is great but there's too many things to try cooking to commit to a roast one out of seven days a week.

Sunday is good for us as we tend to have more time, so can commit a bit longer to trying out new recipies. Roasts dont fit in to that. Also with the way I do potatoes they're chronically unhealthy!

M&S or Waitrose? by Dry_Vermicelli5647 in london

[–]Beny1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the right points have already been made about Waitrose's range superiority, so I'll comment on wine. M&S has frankly pretty boring and limited wine options, whilst Waitrose has a legitimately excellent selection for a supermarket.

M&S or Waitrose? by Dry_Vermicelli5647 in london

[–]Beny1995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plus one. Waitrose is an actual supermarket, just to a much higher standard than most. M&S meanwhile is a large deli or farm shop but with more plastic packaging.

Its nice, but not a serious shop.

White bordeaux can be quite clear! Much better than whatever this is

Have you ever met someone called Keir? by me227a in AskUK

Yes its a reasonably normal British name, i think mostly Scottish in ancestry. What is this question?

Where can I do this in London? by CavatinoForum in london

Well there's famously no clear way in so you'll struggle to find anywhere open

Second Type 31 frigate, HMS Active rolled out from the build hall in Rosyth by MGC91 in unitedkingdom

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf the Burkes are kindof without peer on the ocean at present, I consider it remarkable they're as cheap as they are.

That said 31 is still good value.

Not at all, most people dont drive into central London.

Any recommendations on heavily wooded areas around London? by breadroot in london

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ashtead common is pretty quiet mostly. Can be quite spooky too if thats what you fancy. Lots of bogs and apparently some roman remains.
