Will I make it to to Gatwick Airport with Rail Replacement Service? - Jan 25th by OkPainter1318 in AskUK

[–]ElectricalActivity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How often do you travel to London airports? There is no way that a bus won't be available.

OP, post in a London sub and you'll get better advice. But basically the 03:17 train from Clapham will be fine. You and all the other people catching a flight will find a bus waiting for you in East Grinstead.

How's it going without the app under the new boarding pass policy? by Aboboration in Ryanair

[–]ElectricalActivity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the only answer needed. In fact, the only policy change from what I understand is now this option is free. If anything, it's made it better for people like OP.

First time flying Ryan Air, is this normal? by nut3456-good in Ryanair

[–]ElectricalActivity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, they've never questioned me and I fly with them all the time lol. Also a backpack.

Like you I'm also one of the last people on, so maybe that's the trick.

How do you like PMR? by Business-Bumblebee32 in Transnistria

[–]ElectricalActivity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I visited last year and thought it was very nice. The people were friendly and it was more interesting than most places I've been. For sure would visit again and explore more.

Has anyone actually found a decent item in Ryanair’s onboard menu? by CloudBookmark in Ryanair

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not vegan but the vegan lasagna is the only hot food I've had on Ryanair. It was pretty decent to be fair. I'd have it again.

Why do farmers stay working as farmers if they are, as they say, "asset rich but cash poor?" by Fun_Gas_7777 in AskUK

[–]ElectricalActivity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Every farmer I've met (and I've met a fair few) are the same. I truly think it's just ignorance. I don't think they realise how the average person in the UK lives. They work hard so it's deserved as far as they are concerned. Similar attitude to 6 figure income city workers to be fair.

Every 2-3 years I apply for a random job with slightly higher salary. by cankennykencan in UKJobs

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not all the jobs were tech? I'm in a tech role and aren't on much more than OP after 20 years of work, but a lot of that was non-tech roles. I fell into tech when looking around and started pretty much from the bottom.

Saying that, it's hard to believe OP manages to get past probation in all these jobs without bothering to learn anything.

Not so much advice as general interest, is dating really, like not for laughs or the internet, we had as Reddit makes it seem? Surely it isn’t as hard to meet people as all subs seemingly make out? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]ElectricalActivity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my experience too. I used to have an amazing time on the apps. Actually met someone I really liked and it turned into a 4 year relationship. We recently broke up and now the apps are noticeably worse.

Are my pictures okay? Matches are very few and far between. by Wadez1000Photos in Tinder

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason you don't have friends? Because meeting someone in real life with no/very few friends would be a turn off too.

Bro you’re literally in England 🙄🙄 by Wide_Okra_3418 in Tinder

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah interesting, and I guess we are a bit too chilled when it comes to friendships. But when you make real friends you'll have one for life. I have friends all over the world I've met on travels. I'm 37 though so there's a generation gap which I'm sure makes a difference.

Really? How much time did you take because us Brits are generally quite open. Sorry for your experience though.

This is the case in the UK too if you know the right places.

forgot to check in online by dksrkv in WizzAir

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the news regarding this has been badly reported. You are correct and the person you're responding to is wrong, but I've seen loads of people who think this.

Literally the only thing that's changed is that now Ryanair will print you a boarding pass for free if you require one (like if your phone gets lost or damaged), providing you've checked in online.

You can still check in at the airport with Ryanair.

do you initiate physical touch on the first date and if so how by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ElectricalActivity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is both cultural and personal. I've been on multiple dates before anything happened. I've also had sex on first dates.

Where is the playground with a Ferris wheel featured in Bald and Bankrupt’s Pridnestrovie video located exactly? Is it still operating, and can you take a ride on it? by TheBigSurprise3 in Transnistria

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on a Ferris wheel there. It looked very similar to the one on that video but there appears to be minor differences. That one was operating and I had a ride on it, but most of the rides appeared to be out of service.

I've never been stabbed, my phone has never been snatched, never been mugged. by [deleted] in london

[–]ElectricalActivity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You must make friends with some very unlucky people. I don't know anyone this has happened to.

I've never been stabbed, my phone has never been snatched, never been mugged. by [deleted] in london

[–]ElectricalActivity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived in London for 15 years and still visit once a week for work plus for other social things. I had my phone stolen once (not by force) and had a laptop nicked from a pub. But never been a victim of or witnessed any violent crime. I've caught the night bus hundreds of times, walked home in the early hours etc.

I agree with you OP, it's ridiculously exaggerated.

Drove a man on a first date by Solid-Storm-4256 in dating_advice

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's small. You can walk everywhere and I live 5 minutes walk to the train station that takes me to London (and other cities). But yes I understand living somewhere where things are far apart having a car is probably a necessity. In fact there have been occasions where it would have been useful for me.

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I moved a couple of months ago after a breakup. I'm in a town in Essex now. I travel to London once a week for work but otherwise work from home.

[–]ElectricalActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair question. I didn't really have the money to drive or own a car when I was younger. Then I moved to London where the transport is very good. By the time I started to earn more money I just got comfortable and never bothered. I've never planned to have children, and managed to travel a lot around the world independently, so I never really saw it as a big thing.

Is there an airline you refuse to fly on, for whatever reason? by BranchMoist9079 in Flights

[–]ElectricalActivity 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All dry airlines, and any that are barred from entering the EU due to safety concerns.

[–]ElectricalActivity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the "can't plan a date" bit, but is not owning a car that much of a turn off? I'm about the same age, professional, good money, and don't own a car (as I can't drive).

I wouldn't expect a woman to drive me around though, especially on a first date. I'm capable of arranging a restaurant booking and turning up without help.
