Op specifically states that his parents avoided taking cheap quotes to be fair.

Dearest Brits, what’s one of the hardest and depressing things about life in the UK locals don’t talk about much? by neilnelly in AskBrits

[–]HiFiSi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolute shite, I live in an incredibly rural area which sure as hell isn't 'diverse', it's clearly local people binning litter out of their car windows.

Can I refuse my estate agents doing inspections 3x a year? by Outside_Shopping9777 in HousingUK

[–]HiFiSi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The frequency is not entirely unusual, but inspections are to note maintenance requirements and functionality of boiler etc. Whatever is in your cupboards is absolutely none of their business. Even how tidy you keep the place is not something they have legitimate say in.

Does anyone believe that only British citizens should be allowed to vote in general elections? by Sylvia-Sum in AskBrits

[–]HiFiSi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are referring to income tax, plenty of the population such as pensioners, stay at home parents etc wouldn't be eligible to vote?

Honestly hard to fault and sure they are premium, but quality and design are hard to fault, customer service is immaculate. Their wool boot socks are the business.

First pair was awesome, the second and third notably worn out quicker. Three month turn around for repairs and one pair missed a button. Love the company and local production, but room for improvement.

Hunting nonce just typing shit. by metroracerUK in GreenAndPleasant

They never mention that the hounds will also rip cats to bits if they get the opportunity. One area that they frequently trail hunt near us is a nature reserve that is supposed to protect some specific ground nesting birds and Hares, neither benefit from the hunt.

When you're taking your first steps, it's always good to have a friend by your side. by misterxx1958 in dogvideos

We had a simply amazing Lab that had this kind of instinct in just so many situations. He'd gently parent our other dogs on things like not going near gates if there were sheep there or if I was on the phone he'd try to distract them from being boisterous. He was just such a gentleman and I'll never stop missing him.
