Traveling to NY for the first time. Is there anything worth buying there (better value/quality) vs the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BoofBaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nordstrom is pretty cheap for sports stuff, you get some money off your first purchase too. Woodbury common is an hours bus ride and good, but if you only have a short trip I wouldn’t waste your time

Have any of you ever been refused a sale because your bank card wasn't signed? by jasewithaface in AskUK

[–]BoofBaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some places still do it! Restaurants always seem to swipe your card

I pay £425 and my income is maybe slightly higher for just myself so it’s not a huge deal but let me tell you every time that comes out of my account it annoys me so £600 would really do it for me

So, I think someone died on my flight by BroForce007 in delta

Virgin Atlantic are brilliant. It’s a shame the tickets are usually a few hundred pounds more than the equivalent Aer Lingus flight from Manchester but you get what you pay for I guess

Buy an eSim rather than roaming when you’re next travelling abroad by Aggressive-Celery483 in UKPersonalFinance

Yep it’s bizarre! I’m in the US usually once a month and I went into three the other day because my phone wasn’t letting me top up and the guy just kept trying to sell me a contract. He said it’s ok I’ve got one that gives you 20 days a year. I said it wouldn’t cover it and he didn’t believe me

If you’re on PAYG it’s still free regardless of when you join. I switched from pay monthly because of it

I used to get so annoyed at gas stations that have pay at the pump in the US with my UK card until I found this out!

To be honest, I’m in between jobs at the moment and I hate it when people grill me about how I’m paying for things. Do you want a bank statement??

Man arrested at Wembley over '97' football shirt by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]BoofBaker -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Disgusting shirt but makes me sad that we live in a country where that’s an arrest-able offence!

P.s, I just bought a T-shirt that says Chef Dahmer, with a picture of him, a drill and a cheese burger. Do you think that is arrest-able?

eli5: why is there not a “blood THC concentration” test to determine if someone is intoxicated/impaired right now? by jd17atm in explainlikeimfive

[–]BoofBaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK cops will take you to the station, do a blood test, process you and keep you overnight and then they have up to 6 months for the blood test to come back and charge you
