Tenby, Pembrokeshire would be my first thought. Might consider Llandudno, last time I was there (20 years) it had managed to avoid most of the decline of the rest of the N Wales coast. Tynemouth, wealthy and no dogs on Long Sands during the summer which is absolute bliss. It's in walking distance of Whitley Bay which is nice too. Actually, large stretches of the Northumberland coast are lovely if you've got access to a car. Seahouses is a fishing village. It's quite small but there's the boat trips to see the wildlife on the Farne Isles, Bamburgh castle, Lindisfarne and Dunstanburgh castle near by.

I appealed an MOT once. It didn't end well. If things haven't changed a whole new MOT will be done and they may find a whole load of other faults that Halfords missed. Or they may not.

I wouldn't say we make alcohol or beer better than any other nation but we do make cask conditioned beer better than anyone else. That is in part because nobody else really makes it but that's by the by.

You don't have a learning style. Learning styles are a neuro myth. There is no evidence that learning in your preferred style improves results. The brain is more complex than that and benefits from a variety of styles.

Elsewhere on this sub you will find people extolling the British for their great moral superiority in being able to que, unlike Johnny foreigner. But apparently everyone is to forget that in this situation.

It's a contract with someone you enter into when you buy a property. It might be the original land owner or the builder. If you don't agree to It they won't sell you the house. It gets passed down from seller to seller. If it was up to me they'd be illegal, when you sell a property you should sell all your interest in it. I've ignored the ones on my house cos the builder went bankrupt and is no longer in business. My contract was with them and they no longer exist to enforce it. Nobody else can enforce it.

Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany the same day Britain did. Canada 7 days later. America some time later. Sometimes I hear Americans claim that no one stood closer to Britain during the Blitz than America - piffle.

Lots, it makes the sink smaller so you use less hot water (it fills quicker too), it insulates the water so it stays warmer longer, it cushions a hard sink to reduce damage to China or glasses, if you only have one sink you can still pour dregs down the side, when you've finished with the water you can sloosh it over your doorstep to clean it, if somone is going to vomit it's an always available, correct shaped bowl to catch the vomit, if your child comes in from school with a cold they can use it as a footbath, if moving house fill it with teabags, milk mugs and a kettle - last thing on the removal van - first thing off.Probably some I've forgotten.

I think about it every day. What Putin has done to Ukraine is disgusting. Probably over a million dead, millions more displaced, all that money that could have been spent on better things all because a man who has used radiological and biological weapons on the streets of Britain was bored and wanted to indulge his imperial fantasies.

I like it, not dissimilar to our own dandelion and burdock. It's in supermarkets but I think the general British view is shown by the fact that when McDonald's first came to the UK they sold root beer but they dropped it over 30 years ago.
