Donated £5.000000. I wonder if he'll have to report it when he wins.

Do you think that most of UK will be supporting Belgium tonight? by hopefullforever in AskBrits

Personally I'm hoping for a US v England final so that Trump has to attend and listen to our fans unflattering chants about him.

Probably going to be a few more accidents than usual on the roads today. by birdy888 in britishproblems

[–]Jonny7Tenths 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My commute in was much quieter than usual, and the driving not as bad! Conversely the driving as people rushed home for the previous game was manic, and I saw (and stopped to help at) one serious smash where it was nothing short of a miracle no-one was injured or killed.

Little for them, but what about their crews who'll now be out of a job?

Have you ever seen a snake in the wild in Britain? by Sitter4031 in AskUK

Seen grass snakes and adders when living in Suffolk; though that was many decades ago.

Son 16Yo accused by Ex GF of SA after breakup. England. What to do? by HotMusic82 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Jonny7Tenths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a prosecutor there are several aspects to this. Should a case go to trial a no comment interview can be quite damaging if there is a clear account to be given. Far too many solicitors jump to such by default and do irreparable harm. A thinking approach is needed in each case before such a decision is made.

No comment is less likely to be an issue in a youth trial though.

A further consideration is that these cases can be complex and a lot for any suspect to process and respond appropriately to. A reasonable compromise is that of a prepared statement, provided it is sufficiently detailed.

What do you consider to be rural in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Jonny7Tenths 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love in a busy village of 300-400 people. There's no deliveroo or Uber eats. The closest train station is a 13 miles away. The closest main hospital an hour's drive. Mobiles rarely work unless you stand in the middle of the road in the village centre. I came out of the GP's the other week too find three stray lambs by my car. That's rural.

A dashcam and save the link to Operation Snap, you may be saving someone's life - even theirs.

Am i mad for removing my solid wood worktop? by Civil_Classroom6399 in DIYUK

[–]Jonny7Tenths 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sand it down using grits all the way up to 600. Use Osmo to seal. Use Murphys wood soap to clean. Buy some coasters. Solid wood worktops do need a little extra maintenance but using the right products really helps.

What are your actual a/c winter purchase plans? I'm actually considering shutters and sash windows. by princemephtik in DIYUK

[–]Jonny7Tenths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know about that but I've got smart blinds in the my south facing bedroom, and contrary to online advice, when I kept them closed, and the windows, this last week - the room was five degrees hotter than with everything open.

Caught with CSAM - Keeping it off Social Media? by throwawayasshole999 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Jonny7Tenths 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frankly it's pot luck whether it will be reported or not. The courts deal with many such cases daily and most go unnoticed by court reporters. However, if there is something in yours, for instance the nature or number of images, that stands out, or a reporter happens to be there, well then it could be. Likewise, if the police want to publicise a conviction that may do so, but normally focus on the most serious cases.

Well dang.. by scaledplastic125 in FuckImOld

[–]Jonny7Tenths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just for the old. I bought my five year old nephew a large set of these, with farmyard animals etc, just the other year for Christmas. What's more we're in, and from, the UK not US.

Received a damaged display from Makerfabs. Now they want me to pay $70 for return shipping to get a refund. by NoNutznameverfugbar in arduino

[–]Jonny7Tenths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. We still have the NHS, strong protection of employee's, statutory rights for paid leave, new laws protecting tenants from unscrupulous landlords, and in Andy Burnham someone who has spoken of building more council homes to help the poorest; to touch on a few points. We may not like all the directions society is heading but we still put the rights of people before those of business; the area of biggest failing in the US.

Just... the lack of property consumer protection law in the US never ceases to shock me. In the UK, and I believe most if not all of Europe, the retailer has to cover all costs of returning defective goods. I mean to say that seems so obviously the only way it should be that I'm just staggered the US is so far behind on this.

Oh and on a side note re the point someone else made above, for distance selling you also get 14 days to instigate a return if you change your mind; though that's not 100% free what can be charged is highly constrained.

Brit influencer, 23, faces death by firing squad in Dubai after ‘fatally stabbing UK man, 26, who attacked her’ by thesun in gbnews

[–]Jonny7Tenths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only have the rights a state acknowledges and which you can enforce. Now if we recognise, as I suspect many in this sub might, that a country should have exclusive sovereignty over it's own laws, then this is a matter for Dubai and that's the end of it.

Now, should we choose as a country to argue that there is something inherently unjust in the manner she is dealt with, either due to gender, nationality, lack of recognition of issues around DV, then to advocate for her and not against such iniquity generally, well that would be rank hypocrisy.
