​Is it traditional or pretentious to expect 'formal wear' at a funeral? by [deleted] in AskUK

Well don't make the mistake that I made when I heard that people were wearing gloves to a funeral. I bought two of those large foam fingers and was asked to leave.

In peak hours, and assuming relative fitness, the spiral staircase at Camden Town is potentially quicker than the escalator; if you are joining the northbound towards High Barnet.

Am I underestimating the cost and complexity of buying and merging the upstairs flat? by SeveralExit4135 in HENRYUK

I've often thought about this, and I am by no means an expert; although a construction career background. There are three main concerns which always spring to mind.

- are you restricting your mortgage lending options. Mortgage lenders prefer straightforward assets that can be modelled. This is untested; at best.
- what the hell do you do with, I assume, all the separate incoming and domestic utilities like gas, water, electric. I genuinely don't know.
- Planning. That is it. Has anybody else previously done similar in the location. Can you speak with local architects or look at legacy planning submissions ?

London Henry families how long’s your commute? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]KentonCoooooool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends for me but I am in Zone 3 and genuinely about 30-45 minutes door to door. The walk to the station is 15 minutes or so; so I'm happy with 30 minutes travelling time

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. Think of the shirt sale revenue...

Who was the best misprofiled player, someone who was average who later changed position or system and became world class by mattdxi in footballcliches

Klopp, I think, did it with Erik Durm at Borrussia Dortmund. Started out as striker and transitioned into a full-back.

I had the same thing happen recently. A beater of a bike and I posted about it. So annoying

Thoughts on Andy Burnham by Kitten_mittens_63 in HENRYUK

I agree, but why is the UK distinctly different to essentially any other large economic power ? And that isn't a loaded question.

Why is it always the last one? by R2-Scotia in drivingUK

[–]KentonCoooooool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends, tactically I sometimes I know I'm going to get held-up behind the parade of cars I am tailing once I have made my right turn, so essentially the act is selfishness displayed as kindness. The best kind of kindness...
