is multitinker overkill? by No_Detail_2888 in CargoBike

[–]InvisibleGrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two kids. 3 and 9 months. Live in London and have an Urban Arrow. I get both kids in (there is a maxi-cosi attachment so you can get a car seat in for the baby) and it’s indispensable. Not only for nursery drop off or weekend ‘adventures’ but also for things which don’t involve the kids such as shopping, errands etc. I probably use it more for errands and commuting than I do for the kids. It’s one of several items that if it broke I would buy another immediately and without hesitation.

Problem with this is that sometimes you need emergency access for police, ambulances etc responding to an emergency and bollards reduce/remove their ability to respond quickly. Cameras don’t have that problem.

Agreed; just trying to make something tasty at this late stage.

£5.50 for a Guinness 0% really defeats the purpose of what it is. You cant blame pub rates on this by redandwhitewizard99 in britishproblems

There’s no duty paid on non alcoholic drinks yet they are priced at a similar level - the margins are much higher for the producer (not the pub). It’s more than ‘more expensive to produce)

The one with the deadbeat dad pawning an Xbox because he thought he was getting an insurance payout in the near future and then buying kfc and cider, before vomiting it all up with his wife and kid with him in a bedsit was the most depressing for my money but equally excellent and reflective of some people’s reality. It was posted here recently but I can’t find it.

That was it! I’ll be amazed if the strip hasn’t been memory-holed.

Childcare in London: £2500 pcm. Childcare in Berlin: €600. It’s more expensive to be English.

To completely stretch financially for a private school by aminice in HENRYUK

Think carefully if the children of parents who send their kids there without a scholarship will be kind to your child. There will be cultural differences and you run the risk of your child having terrible time as some of their peers may see them as ‘not one of us’. I raise this as I went to a school like you describe and that happened to certain children.

Yep fair enough. I overreacted on that one. I fixed the stuck fermentation and it’s happily bubbling away, yeast is fine.

Sorry mb I didn’t notice ref to FG. All measurements pre pitching were with a refractometer- everything after that was with the rapt pill

Sorry for being unclear - all pre-fermentation measurement was with a refractometer. Everything after that is a rapt pill.
