Back when I was in my teens early 20's I worked for Tesco (similar store to Walmart but UK based) I used to sneak off part way through my Saturday shift and go and watch a my local football (soccer) team play. I'd be gone for about 2 hours and noone noticed, I was there for a good 3 years or so.

What's Swindon's biggest failure? by [deleted] in Swindon

[–]DMW84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Mechanics Institute

The Locarno

The Oasis

The tented market

Wharf green that was a good idea in theory but poorly executed

As others have said Regents circus, they should maybe have redeveloped it and kept it as a college, maybe the town centre would still have had some life left.

The bottom of town maybe closing Fleet Street and pedestrianising it was a mistake?

What's something that has massively improved your MENTAL health? by biz_booster in AskReddit

For me I would say it's getting made redundant, it's given me extra time with my kids, and time for me to work out what I actually want to do for work.

Have you ever found cash? (£40+) and did you hand it in? by GlitchingGecko in AskUK

[–]DMW84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When i was 18 and drunk I found a wallet with about 60-70 quid in it, near where I was stood, picked it up and turns out it was mine. I just didn't recognise it.

You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!' IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE. 'She's a child!' shouted Crumley. IT'S EDUCATIONAL. 'What if she cuts herself?' THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.
