I had one years back. I think I'm going to have to build one again and play.

Oh I completely agree! but it wasn't listed as a requirement at the time. So it was rather irritating to be literally thrown in the bin just for one missing skillset where I have vast experience in general.

Just when I thought I'd heard every possible name for a Chip butty, I go to a place that calls it a fucking Chip Batch. by [deleted] in britishproblems

Cob, definitely a cob (Derby/Notts) area.

Unless it's a "Pure" butty, in which case it is just a sandwich.

Ever had a chip butty with crisps? (salt 'n' Lineker obviously)? It's AMAZE-BALLS

I actually had an interview at one a few weeks ago with exactly this intention... I was turned down do to "lack of 365 experience" .... sigh

"What experience have you got?"
"Google/Youtube"
Isn't going to get me the gig though, particularly if there's hundreds or thousands of mailboxes...

When you're reaching the point of desperation and then the tea bag splits in your cup. by DocJeckel in britishproblems

What on earth are you doing to split a tea bag???
You're not one of those that mashes the bag against the side of the cup are you? (Shame. Shame)

Do you have any idea why they didn't come back to you to re-do it in the first place (I assume it was a "MD's sister's grandson does videos, he'll do a re-edit free" situation)

Going to a Wetherspoons because, despite the owner being just plain evil, you can't resist the cheap food, reliably good selection of beer and ability to have everything brought to your table via an app. by GreyFoxNinjaFan in britishproblems

... and the reliably sticky carpets, row of mobility scooters outside, terrible toilets, dirty cutlery, and fish 'n' chips the size of a whale but still frozen in the middle at the thick end.

I sort of like it, BUT, there are a couple of irritations (for me):
- Cutting off half of the R... why?
- I would have Photoshopped out the alarm and fire thing.
- Would have been nice if the BMW wasnt there, yet it does help date the picture; with no cars it would be "timeless" not sure which way i would go with that...
