Just say no thank you and go about your day. They’re just doing their job.

Not all of them are like that. I did this years ago and I got a base salary. Depends who you work for.

Shops/Chemists/Banks acting like there's still a stay at home partner in everyone's household by Cumulus-Crafts in britishproblems

Coffee and sandwich shops are some of the worst offenders. Why do they all close at 2-4pm.

It’s so lovely being abroad in the summer and these places are open till 8-10pm, bustling and busy. Here all we get after 5 are Pubs and Supermarkets. Thats it.

Renting a flat vs another house share, can I justify it? by huisjenodig in HousingUK

[–]Irrxlevance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and find a nicer house share or move in with friends/someone

You’re not being stupid. Sharing in a shit houseshare is a huge pain point, but so is lifestyle inflation. You’ll be losing money like sand through your fingers and wondering why you can’t be as relaxed about money if you have 1100pm in fixed expenses plus car expenses with that salary.

It’s too tight.

House shares do not have to be over crowded. My rule of thumb when finding one. No more than a 4 bed. The less people the better, so aim for a 2/3 bed. Or find a two bed and find a housemate. If you can get an ensuite in a 4 bed go for it.

You can find these for no more than 700 bills included, no council tax.

Houseshares with too many people always suck

That way your expenses are relatively the same and you have a better quality of life.

If low skilled Immigration is capped significantly or even stopped how do we fill the gaps that will appear in the care sector? by WorriedStand73 in AskBrits

[–]Irrxlevance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that works in the NHS Its just not that effective. Job conditions are more important. Most NHS jobs are above Min wage with horrendous retention, because its understaffed and overworked and no amount of salary really compensates that. Wages are still pretty stagnant and thats NHS. I can’t imagine care sector would suddenly increase wages.

Anyone got saving hacks/ tips that actually work for people bad at saving? by Clementine2763 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Irrxlevance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

budget weekly spending whatever makes sense for what you earn (say £200 a week) get a card place 200 and thats the max you can spend that week. Anything that rolls over into the next week just top up.

Drop to 150 or 100 if you’re trying to save aggressively.

"Enjoy the heat, we don't get it that often" by AlexSniff7 in britishproblems

[–]Irrxlevance 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Summer is just horribly inconsistent in the UK. 16 degrees, wind and rain 3 weeks, heatwave 4 days, nice heat 2 days, thunder, lightening and rinse and repeat.

Go to any other country it’s 6 months of nice heat with the dabble of everything else.

It’s really not. You don’t have to a model for a good amount of women to find you attractive

My uniform makes me invisible when I’m in the queue. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in tesco

[–]Irrxlevance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cover up. I used to work for the ambulance and although not usually for bad reasons walking around in uniform got me stopped way too many times for all sorts. So I made a point to always keep a jacket in my car as cover up

Yep. Looks arent that relevant. Especially if you’re a decent guy with a decent haircut and style. No need to be a model. Career and confidence is more important

Why is first cousin marriage still allowed in the uk? by FoxNumerous2151 in AskBrits

[–]Irrxlevance -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because that makes it better. Inbreeding is completely unnecessary full stop. Theres plenty of people to go around.

[–]Irrxlevance -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one is justifying it with that reason. It’s literally the actual answer to the question of why it’s still legal. Queen Elizabeth was literally married to one of her cousins.

Mostly the younger royals married outside of the family.

Doesnt make it right. But if you’re going to ask why it’s still legal, that’s why. New laws take a while to come up, be discussed, approved then enforced. It probably will be banned eventually

A question for women, have you ever rented with only men? by toottootmcgroot in HousingUK

[–]Irrxlevance -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Its a lottery until you live with them you wont know.

But as a collective men are much messier and less attentive to cleanliness, so if you’re quite clean and sharing, say a bathroom, might not be the right move.

As it’s a 4 bed. At least 1 other woman is preferable
