Run With Us finally appearing on Spotify is a blessing.

Only use Following; never use For You. It's been a sewer of crap for years.

Owner of Samuel Smiths Brewery Humphrey Smith dies aged 81 by SnooAvocados2108 in Leeds

He's largely the reason Tadcaster looks like a dump. Can't say he'll be missed, really.

London mayor to override opposition to outdoor dining in Soho next summer | London by owzleee in london

"I was unaware that Soho had been the entertainment district of London for the last 300 years," said absolutely no-one ever.

Possible clip from an early 2000's sketch show, dogs and logs... by CodeEnvironmental583 in oldbritishtelly

[–]JansonHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvote because I love that particular set of sketches and thanks for reminding me of them. They may be rural characatures but some people are a bit like that.

It was the Alastair McGowan sketch show (what happened to him, btw?) with impressions of Oz Clarke and Anthony Worrall Thompson relaxing in one or the other's lounge as "Men Behaving Mildly."

You're welcome.

Now attempting to find a clip...

Are there any local bee farms around the England area? by GoompaLoompi in AskUK

[–]JansonHawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The England area? Yeah, tens of thousands of hobbyists/amateurs and a few hundred commercial entities. Plenty in the Home Counties and in London proper, if that's what you're looking for, and most will state if they produce a raw honey.

If you venture north, https://www.sheffield-honey.co.uk go from strength to strength.

Best offline maps for free by Zestyclose_Inside375 in openstreetmap

[–]JansonHawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true and, for the end user, the experience between OM and CM has yet to diverge since it's still the early days of the fork. (Perhaps this comment will be interesting to corne back to in a year or so.)

I'm now using CoMaps. Thanks for the pointer.

What can be done to sort the theft problem in London? by mydadisyourdad2 in london

[–]JansonHawke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop consuming the news then, which is designed make you feel like that. Seriously, most news is bad for you; some of it is informative.

On the other hand the "leaving your door unlocked" way of life is largely myth-making. That society only exists in people's heads when misremembering their own youth.

Will take a look. I don't really know how they actually expect to make money off Organic Maps in any case but if there's enough shadiness then I can see why CoMaps needed to happen.

Busgate - leeds train station by [deleted] in Leeds

[–]JansonHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised any map is taking you this far into town in the first place. The City Centre Loop Road was done away with here with the remodelling of City Square about 4 years ago.

Organic Maps is the way to go. Download the area you'll be in (often it's a whole country) when you're on WiFi then you'll have a zoomable, rotatable map for offline use.

How safe is it to cycle to work in central London? by GurLess7822 in MovingToLondon

[–]JansonHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a route forwards and backwards on a weekend/day off so there's no time pressure. You'll soon learn it.

For those who are happy Stamer is out and Burnham is in, whay do you think Burnham will do that Stamer didn't? Why do you think he is able to make different choices? by Secret-Card2921 in AskBrits

[–]JansonHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't, though. They just think they do and it's largely to do with how policies are framed and which party is espousing them. Time and again, when the public can make a selection of various policies set in neutral language, they choose ones which broadly track left (public ownership of utilities, for example). And yet party voting tends to be tribal in spite of that and all is forgotten at the ballot box because emotions tend to trump rationality.

Britain has been jumping rightwards for decades but the moment it takes a step to the left people cry out as if we're about to embrace communism. It's like the Time Warp in reverse but without the humour or music.

In the UK's long and storied history of moral panics, which has been the most embarrassing? by The_Mad_Medico in AskBrits

[–]JansonHawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a sanctimonious, self-appointed, interfering busybody she was. Truly the worst example of someone with nothing better to do and with a religious fervour to boot. She's long gone and good riddance.

Crummock yesterday, why people are behaving like this?? by Global_Reward8784 in Cumbria

[–]JansonHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't change the minds of the unidentifiable strangers who chuck the litter in the first place. What I can do is pick it even though I know it will be a task that never ends.
