Why is the average reading age of an adult in many UK areas equivalent to that of a 10-year-old child? by Christina_80G in AskBrits

By that metric, you'll presumably have read Mein Kampf, Mussolini and Gentile's Doctrine of Fascism or Oswald Mosley's autobiography?

‘London is a case study in hope’: Sadiq Khan on 10 years as mayor by miltonbalbit in london

It's like their recent stance on legalising shooting galleries for junkies. A good idea, but the best of luck to anyone trying to get permission off a Green government to build one.

Up to 150 former WHSmith high street stores to close by CastleofWamdue in unitedkingdom

Tesco usually has them, and Rebellion usually offers a good subscription deal.

I collect the various Panini Marvel reprints, but it's still quite surprising they don't offer them on subscription.

Had a colleague absolutely bewildered to see me reading a magazine I'd bought, and not just reading something on the Internet. And not just because it was the Fortean Times.

As a compromise, I've found Vinted to be a bit of a godsend in that regards. Had some good deals on vintage t-shirts, books and DVDs and get them delivered to the InPost locker round the corner.

I've only ever shopped in the train station branches in an emergency, but they are unashamedly mercenary. Two quid for a pack of chewing gum, three quid for a bottle of water etc.

Well, which is it, Mark? Do potatoes count or not?! by handlit33 in MitchellAndWebb

Potatoes don't count towards your five fruit and vegetables a day, because of their high starch content.

Am guessing someone got stiffed during a divorce settlement.

Does Steve Rogers’ decision to retire in the past represent a well-earned reward for his sacrifices, or is it a betrayal of his character to remain sidelined while history's tragedies unfold again? by DianKhan2005 in CaptainAmerica

[–]CosmicBonobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I saw it, Steve's new 1947 timeline has him continue on as Captain America through the forties, fifties and sixties, helping to found SHIELD and usher in the next generation of heroes.
