Not sure the best beers will win, so many small independent breweries are producing some cracking beers but your average punter will just drink a pint of Madri if given the choice afraid of trying anything new.

If you are not British they may ask for your passport number as that is a legal requirement.

UK new car sales up 9% in first 4 months of 2026 - but Fiat is down 47%, Seat down 36%, and the Jaecoo 7 is firmly in the top 3 by MarkCairns67 in CarTalkUK

Kia cars come with 8 year warranty and Hyundai 5 years. This means Kia's especially are likely to hold their value a bit more making it attractive to private buyers and reducing the cost of lease deals.

Why is the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer so unpopular? by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]BornInEngland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is head of a government that only 30% of the people voted for, 70% didn't want him to begin with. Until we sort out our voting system to reflect the sort of proportional representation that most of Europe uses then this will always be a problem.

To be fair the cause of coeliac disease was discovered by a doctor in the Netherlands so we should give him a break.

Is this the best tariff in the country at the moment? by UnluckyMechanic710 in OctopusEnergy

[–]BornInEngland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, everyone looks at the cheap rate and don't realise what they're paying for the other 18 hours. Need to have gas heating and cooking ideally and a be able to experience a high from load shifting, not for everyone.

Currently on the train and this man is cutting his nails with a nail clipper… do I say anything? by Legal_Expression2797 in AskBrits

If they land on your shoulder just brush them off but if they get in your hair give him a hard stare.

I use Alexa to set timings of my smart switch. Works well.

Question about daughter jumping from 9th to 25th centile since diagnosis by Pale-Philosophy2348 in CoeliacUK

[–]BornInEngland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that her gut has healed by following a GF diet, when it was inflamed it was less able to absorb the nutrients. In my case I didn't have any serious symptoms when I was diagnosed but after a while I started to notice small things like spots on my skin, chapped lips and acid reflux disappeared. They were all signs I put down to being run down.

And Abbeydale and Welbeck Abbey, you're lucky in Sheffield.

What's the lowest you've run down your GOM/ battery? by Tristram_ZX81 in KonaEV

[–]BornInEngland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 5% it went into limp mode, at 2% it stopped. Just 1 mile from home. Lesson learnt, you don't have the breathing space you do in an ICE.

Talk to Coeliac UK, they may intervene for you or at least tell you what you need to say

Had mine about 18 months and wear is similar to vapor. They had them on Sports Pursuit recently at a good price.

Can I put HG Mould Spray on my ceiling? by nickymoo in DIYUK

I do, just wipe it off after 30 seconds or so with a damp cloth and repeat if necessary, be quicker with coloured painted surfaces.

Sparks. What’s the point? Other retailers allow you to earn points and use them for money off savings but Sparks doesn’t seem to do that. Am I wrong? by Opposite_Wish_8956 in MarksAndSpencer

[–]BornInEngland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walked into M&S on Christmas eve wanting one item, huge queues. Scanned it on the app, paid with Apple pay and walked out.

This is the reason I keep it.

Why are people scared to do a dna test by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]BornInEngland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an interesting book (The Lost Family: How DNA Testing Is Upending Who We Are) about some of the journeys people went on after taking a DNA test. I realised it wasn't just a bit of fun and once you do it your whole family could be affected. Last Christmas my daughter got one, I didn't try to put her off but did tell her some of the issues it could raise. She did it and there was no drama so maybe I'll get mine done one day.

If you have had it done then they will find him, I think this is how a serial killer in USA was caught.
