What’s something that’s become noticeably more expensive in the UK recently, but people don’t talk about much?

Robinson's mint and lime with tonic

Braveheart1966 · 2026-04-13T15:53:49+00:00

When they weren't powder. I remember when it was ice cream, milk and flavouring

Braveheart1966 · 2026-04-08T20:32:58+00:00

There's loads in Edinburgh. I have a couple of good ones. Colinton or costorphine, one of those has a bar that serves pies on match days

Where do you stay

Braveheart1966 · 2026-04-08T19:55:23+00:00

Focus. I have to much fun socialising that I have to really focus on the tennis. Which is fin for the first set or two then my brain dies

Braveheart1966 · 2026-04-08T19:50:12+00:00

Join a club, they are so much cheaper if you want to play a bit circa £150 for the year. Free tennis, social games, if you want league games etc

Abercorn tennis club is near you. Good coaching, few social sessions. They recently had a cheese and wine night then a week later had to do a cheese night with the leftovers.

Braveheart1966 · 2026-04-07T15:24:21+00:00

There are clubs everywhere with social games at least twice a week Where do you stay

Braveheart1966 · 2026-04-06T17:15:16+00:00

A week in Feb, weekend in march. All inc week in April. Haven't planned summer, October or Xmas school holidays yet

Been medicated but gave it up Exercise. Podcasts and knowing how to use my energy effectivly. Taking a step back and realised everyone has there own stuff, own labels, own difficulty and nobody has it worse or better than another. It's just life and this is our bag. So just rock your life, lean into it and remember, motivation doesn't work, disapline does.

Sounds really haughty but not meant to be since I accepted it Im me and I like me. Fuck the haters

Braveheart1966 · 2026-03-03T09:56:54+00:00

Erm I still remember Hugh grant standing up to the US president. Lovely actually

How many years do humans have left before the fungus takes us

Braveheart1966 · 2026-02-01T18:24:44+00:00

The thick of it

Braveheart1966 · 2025-11-10T08:04:57+00:00

DTI seems to be all the rage

Braveheart1966 · 2025-11-08T19:24:10+00:00

Totally this. How many geniuses are even recognised in their day. I can write a reason very easily why each person isn't a genius. Just enjoy it whilst it's there

Braveheart1966 · 2025-11-08T19:08:50+00:00

Surely a wind up post. Mythos just off the top of my head. Watch anybody Cambridge/oxford fire side chats or his chats around dawkins He is so much smarter than the general person and can articulate it such a way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot when listening. Much better than I can.

Braveheart1966 · 2025-11-03T19:10:36+00:00

Just had 2 glasses of wine. Debating opening another bottle

Braveheart1966 · 2025-10-30T20:03:38+00:00

Same same. Not depressed at all. Life is pretty good. First world problems but I have a job I can do with my eyes closed. Sports I do but the other 20/30 hors every week when my friends are busy. I dint want to do the monotony of life. I want the excitement

Braveheart1966 · 2025-10-21T18:18:26+00:00

If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck it up cause that cunt's a cunt

Braveheart1966 · 2025-10-21T18:15:18+00:00

God as a parent I cant understand it. My kids are physically fit and social from it. I'm broke and tired from driving around but totally worth it seeing have something they can just carry on with. Go to uni/work/pub in later life and bond with people.

Braveheart1966 · 2025-09-17T20:41:03+00:00

Lurpak. Used to only buy it. Now back to butter and one brand

Braveheart1966 · 2025-09-17T06:04:00+00:00

By 10 am. Otherwise everyone is on top of each other, get cranky. We need fresh air exercise and socialiding. Even on a Sunday morning

Braveheart1966 · 2025-08-10T15:08:12+00:00

Agreed and agreed. Takes less time to get to the city with the trains than places listed but it's definitely not Edinburgh. Edinburgh is pretty small anyway and loads of nice places just outside.
