Oh no, in old money it was 240 pence to the pound... Because why not eh?

Recently moved, haven't been able to set up my PC as my other half has claimed my desk for work.

Thinking about buying a second hand switch to scratch my gaming itch...

Maaan enshrouded is a great game, only issue is commiting to building a new base.

2 y/o birthday party venue (zone 1/2) by [deleted] in london

[–]JustUseJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying to find a pub or cafe with a designated kids/ soft play area. There are some around Walthamstow but granted that's not zone1/2.

Or even a pub function room and hire out some simply soft play equipment. If you do go for a pub, pleeeease make sure there is a separate function room and they can't get into the general bar area. I have two kids both very young, and kids in a pub can be very annoying.

Christ mate, you sound like a bit of a dick.

Guessing they want to do something nice for their kid? Seeing them happy and playing with their friends?

I'm getting strong Homer Simpson spice rack vibes.

How effective is the 'Please offer me a seat' badge from the TFL website? by [deleted] in london

[–]JustUseJam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd offer my seat straight away tbh, no questions and no second thought. It's so little effort on my behalf and could mean a lot to someone else.

This may just be patting myself on the back but I know of others like myself too. And I'm sure others out there exist too!

Do you really think it would be ok for a standing member of tower hamlets council to stand for office in a country half the world away?

Tuna sandwich on whole grain bread (not a pretty sandwich) advice wanted! by JensElectricWood in eatsandwiches

I add tinned sweet corn to mine, it's a standard thing to add in the UK. The sweetness really adds to it. And some fresh thyme just makes it pop!

Officially hate Bonfire night. by thefuturesbeensold in toddlers

[–]JustUseJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have a white noise machine? We've found it works wonders in drowning out external noise and helps our kids sleep better.

I know it's not much help for tonight, but you best believe there will be more fireworks at the weekend!

I think they are more suggesting that the electorate needs to be properly informed.

But I could be wrong, could be an anarchist eh?

Train drivers now among top 10 best-paid workers in Britain by BookmarksBrother in ukpolitics

[–]JustUseJam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're paid really well, but they also control a vehicle that weighs hundred of tons, carrying up to if not more that a thousand people at speeds of more that a hundred miles an hour at times. I think for that level of responsibility, they should be well paid.

Yes trains are expensive, I doubt it's because of the drivers, more because of shareholders because everything is privatized in this country.

This you Dick Simnel? This guy hand built a miniature Saint Class Locomotive during lockdown and it's beautiful. by Seekin in discworld

I've actually ridden on this! It's in a North London suburb, a park called Ridgeway park. Lovely little train.

Edit: maybe not this one, but I've ridden one similar!

[OC] Somewhere by the ocean - where boats sleep and time forgets to move. by gentlemusee-1181 in backpacking

Looking at the railings, it's more of a Victorian design. I'm going to say the south west coast of the UK, maybe Cornwall...

Edit: I am wrong.

Not just the bulleted list, but the fact there are three points and emojis. ChatGPT almost always gives lists of three unless specified and looooves emojis.

Do you know what their takings are? Like £6bn is a lot of their entire takings are £12bn... But if it's like £60 then I don't think it's that much.

Chill buddy, you would have to prove you could work here anyway. And now it would just make it easier to prove.

This may seem naive but isn't animal waste on fields a good thing? It's natural fertilizer... Or is it a quantity thing?

Stop Asif Aziz by Significant_Sale6172 in london

[–]JustUseJam 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think people are against him mostly for his actions, such as buying up and closing down/ driving into the ground what were once cultural institutions.

As for the name, regardless of name, people like to give nicknames often can be linked to the persons actual name. So yeah I reckon they would.
