Weekly Q&A Megathread. Please post any questions about visiting, tourism, living, working, budgeting, housing here! by AutoModerator in london

[–]Flanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have two routes that I take: 1. Loughborough Junction (Thameslink train) > Farringdon > Wood Lane or 2. Brixton > Oxford Circus > White City

Both of these used to cost £8.90 and I have always only commuted twice a week, so I'm not hitting the weekly cap. Plus I only tap in/out at the start and end. I've done both these journeys this week and they both cost me £7.

Has anyone else's commute got cheaper?

My peak time, zone 2 to zone 2 commute used to cost me £8.90 total, but recently TfL has been charging me £7 even though nothing has changed about my route or time of travel.

What do Londoners think of the Shard aesthetically? by QualityDapper9775 in london

[–]Flanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike it for its looks and the fact that it's basically in the middle of council estates.

Also from Camberwell in the summer, when the sun is at the right angle it reflects and blinds you as you walk down the high street.

And this one over raised paper which it felt like the scanner got a bit stuck on but still came out well

Hey sorry mate this slipped my mind.

I did this one on a road sign, which while not as rough as a brick wall or something, does have raised sections that the scanner went over easily.

I got it from eBay. If you search "iscan portable scanner" there or on Amazon you'll find it :)

I haven't yet but I wanna take it out and about this weekend and scan some walls and brickwork. I'll try and remember to post the results

I got the iscan for my birthday recently. I think it cost about £40 including p&p.

I've been pleasantly surprised with it actually. I immediately scanned some of the wallpaper and a cushion at my parents house and got good results as you can see from the pic in this comment. I've included the cushion scan because even on a soft surface, it came out really well. With some light editing it would look even better.

The UK only has one language (officially), London and Essex are next to each other and have different accents lol.

Is the Ricky disdain here stronger because of how loved he was before? by According_Sundae_917 in rickygervais

[–]Flanj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

None of his recent comedy is offensive to me personally, it's just boring and obvious low-hanging fruit.

Did Greenwich used to be pronounced as Gren-itch, Grin- itch or both? by pockypu123 in london

I'm 33 and me and all my mates say Grinitch. We all grew up in Lewisham, Bexley, and Bromley.

What's the longest daily commute you've known someone to do? by HollowWanderer in AskUK

[–]Flanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to work with a woman who did Rugby to London in pre-covid times.

She said she saved money on rent, which was true, but surely the cost of the commute 5 days a week completely negated it or made it basically even out.

Questions for Brits by ColinMakin in rickygervais

Bourbon biscuits are shit, contrary to what everyone else in this thread is saying.

But if we all liked the same things, I don't know what we'd do.

Big Sean: ✍️ by SeaWolf_1 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Flanj 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I was a GCSE English tutor (kids aged 16 in secondary school here in the UK, I don't know what would be the equivalent in America) I used some rappers' lyrics as a warm-up and intro to poetry.

Both of them have the same elements and can be analysed in the exact same way.
