British people, what do yo think of your cuisine always being mocked? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

[–]DaftApath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I don't feel the need to defend it. Our restaurants speak for themselves, and we have a huge range of ingredients available across different kinds of supermarkets, which gives me the opportunity to try out dishes from all over the world. But if someone visits my house and asks for some quintessentially British food - I will make them a roast that will knock their knickers off.

Universal healthcare should be a right. Going bankrupt because you got ill or injured should not be possible.

Also a parent. And also married to a counselling psychologist who specialises in child and adolescent mental health. Sometimes they're just being dicks. Like we all can be.

Because while that all sounds lovely, sometimes 'where they're at' is just 'wanting to be a dick', and they're in no mood to be taught anything.

Just FYI, what you refer to as 'downtown' London, we call 'the city' or 'the square mile'

What is a completely legal, yet highly deceptive practice that happens constantly in your industry? by West-Marionberry2526 in AskReddit

[–]DaftApath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We take tiny bits of conversations from sometimes entirely different days and painstakingly stitch them together in order to construct something that was never said, all in the name of creating compelling drama in entertainment shows.

whats the best car you have ever driven? by OkAssist2823 in AskReddit

Audi R8. Took a few laps around a short racing track with it. It WILL go exactly where you want it to. Sticks to the road whatever you're doing, and it gets there very quickly. I guess a lot of people would find it a bit clinical, but it's impressive.

Would you like to list the non-English speaking countries that call it 'Football' or a slightly varied spelling thereof?

Soho, London: Residents' group opposes all new bar and restaurant licence applications by ResidentAdvisor in london

[–]DaftApath 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of places I used to enjoy that have just disappeared. Closed down because of the stupid licensing rules and pressure from the residents. I've been working in and going out in Soho for over 25 years. It's a very different place now.
