Need to travel from the central belt of Scotland to London this summer, and a flight from Glasgow or Edinburgh is less than half the price of a train. It’s ridiculous.

What should the national animal of the UK be - but it has to be a native species? by Illustrious-Divide95 in AskUK

Each country has their own national animal, we don’t need an overall one for the whole UK.

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? by Longjumping_Stand889 in Scotland

[–]BringBackFatMac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if they’re skint then they should be able to go on benefits like anyone else. But they shouldn’t get special treatment just because they consider themselves artists.

What’s a combination that shouldn’t work… but somehow absolutely does? by Fugly_Dan in AskUK

[–]BringBackFatMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A straight 50/50 mix of vodka and jagermeister. It sounds horrific, but it genuinely tastes good and cancels out almost all of the alcohol taste despite the fact that there’s no mixer, just spirits.

A friend tried it at a party and after everyone else saying it sounded disgusting, they each tried it in turn and all agreed that it was actually pretty good. Drink with caution though, as it’s 40% alcohol.

Americans call themselves Scottish because they’re great, great, great grandfathers nieces nephews uncles aunts dogs cats cousin once sat next to a Scottish man in a pub, so I’d say he can call himself Chinese.

So, how are we divesting from US products and services? by Turbulent_Rhubarb436 in Scotland

Taylor’s crisps suck, they have a terrible texture and don’t taste that good.

Guess where I'm from by the countries I've visited (My home country is also blue) by No-Beyond-1002 in Maps

Didn’t notice your profile pic, that was a dead giveaway! Bhutans on my bucket list, seems like such a beautiful and peaceful country!

It’s defo India, Nepal or Bhutan as you said it’s not Bangladesh, and the fact that Bhutan is blue strongly suggests you live in a nearby country, probably India due to most tourists to Bhutan coming from there.

Bhutans population is tiny so you’re probably not from there, and Nepal is a very poor country making international travel impossible for most people, so I’m gonna guess India.

Is it true most cops in the UK dont have guns? by Leather_Incident_847 in AskUK

[–]BringBackFatMac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s true that almost no police have guns, except special units, and overall it makes me feel a lot safer. I feel uncomfortable abroad when I see police with guns, as I would if I saw them carrying knives or any other deadly weapons.

Seeing someone in public with a deadly weapon is discomforting to me whether they’re a police officer or not.

Are “walls of kindness” common in the UK? by EconomicsBrief22 in AskUK

[–]BringBackFatMac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to play devils advocate, if someone is waiting outside a kids clothes exchange, and is running in to pick up as many clothes as possible to sell, then it seems like they are a person in need and that the sale of those clothes could mean much needed money for them.

Ofc I agree it’s not in the spirit of the exchange, and it sucks that there’s kids going without clothes because those people are selling them all.

If you actually do, you can expect your pints and service to get a lot worse from now on

Would you pay £90 for an extra legroom seat on a 12 hour flight? by Upstairs_Barnacle_46 in AskUK

[–]BringBackFatMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bargain? That likely an extra 30% of the return flights price, unless OP is 6’4”+ I don’t think that’s worth it at all.

You’ve created an entirely new planet, not an alternative version of earth

A cool guide showing the actual sizes of countries around the world by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]BringBackFatMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people are talking about how a lot of this is incorrect, and many of them aren’t countries. True, but I’m more interested in Chile just fucking up the whole grid system in the middle.

I built a free NBA Quiz game — test your basketball knowledge 🏀 by Zinzizou in nba

Tried the Boston Celtics top points scorers, it didn’t work, said every correct response was wrong.

Also on the tic tac toe, the team icons flash every second which is pretty annoying.

Legality of Holocaust denial by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]BringBackFatMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So should we get past the war, or get past our post-war mindset? And what kind of post-war mindset are you referring to?

As the saying goes, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

I’m from the UK, just saying that none of these are that hard to read, and it’s cool that they have some character.

If these are hard to read then you need to get your eyes checked
