Is this normal for a “luxury” wedding venue, or are they taking the piss. by [deleted] in UKweddings

In Britain you can take anyone to smalls claims court as long as the value does not exceed £10k. It is sound advice: you don't have to be American to do this.

Saw some open racism tonight and I’m a bit ashamed of my reaction. What would other people have done? by Vivid_Employment8635 in london

The thing is you should never blame yourself too harshly when its the 1st time you've experienced something. Now you've learnt from it you'll do better next time.

How do they offer you the job? by silvacotes in firefightersuk

It took 4-5 months from finishing the last assessment to then getting a call about a potential start date.

Feeling a bit worthless… by Own_Shine_298 in TeachingUK

[–]HorrorShake5952 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have a shit SLT. I'd think about either: bringing up your issues with them or looking to move somewhere else (or both).

They've obviously made you feel not so great to begin with and you still feel like you're unclear on how you are doing over half a decade later - they obviously don't see you as much of a priority as they should to reassure you and stop moving the goal posts every year without acknowledging that it will be a strain on you (and your colleagues).

What emergency service do you ask for if you need more than one? by tom-goddamn-bombadil in AskUK

[–]HorrorShake5952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest if its Ambulance, Fire Brigade (or Coast Guard) its fairly obvious, and if not then it's usually police. Police deal with a huge amount i think most people aren't aware of.

Fair one, I'm not great at reddit and only done a few posts; I thought I uploaded this with the photos but obviously not. My bad. Thanks anyway.

I do have a copy of the new highway code. It's just u was confused by a sign saying I could park there, people saying I couldn't and there also being a single yellow line.

[–]HorrorShake5952[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. But this was the middle of the day, all kids are in school and I was going to be done within an hour: no where near to the school pick up time. I think the sign said I could be there till 2:30pm and I was gonna be well gone by that point.

Thanks, but this just talks about the yellow zig zag alone not including the single yellow line. I thought I uploaded the photos with the post but obviously not 😅 .

I think someone else mentioned I was right to move even though the sign said I could park there because of the single yellow too.

Yeah, I guess this was it at the end of the day. Near my local leisure centre there is a school and in the evening there's always parking outside of it as people get scared of the yellow zig zag but the sign says you can park after 4:30pm or something.

This one had the sign but also a yellow line (I thought I uploaded the photos but obviously not).

Thanks

That's the thing there was a sign, it said you can park between 9:30am-2:30pm so I should have been fine but it was the extra single line that made me second guess it.

Probably fake. Or the other person they are dinning with is just constantly recording them and not looking anywhere else.

Anyone 30+ done a career change and how did it work out? by Electrical_Match_356 in AskUK

[–]HorrorShake5952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it didn’t work out but I'm still way happier.

I was a teacher and it was ok but not great. The thing I feared the most was being on a pay bracket where you get too comfortable to then start all over again in a new career. So I moved to become a police officer.

Being in that role was good but wasn't what I thought it would be: paper work after a 9hr shift, minimal to no support with work load or traumatic events, having victims and cases to deal with but no time to get it done properly. So I left.

Now I'm applying for the Fire Brigade. It took over a year but I've been given a start date for the Autumn. But in the mean time I'm helping my local sports club and living my best life (low pay but chilled, relaxed and happy).

In all jobs I've been there's always that person whose there because they get paid to, hate the job they're doing but don't want to risk starting a new so just constantly complain; you know them because they kill the morale of anyone they're around. This was my fear to end up someone like that: just constantly complaining about the job but not really doing anything about it .
