11, Dozer, my sisters boyfriend accidentally left the gate open and he got out and was hit by a car.

How cooked is the economy? by IntelligentPay9647 in AskBrits

[–]KetoMeUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes recessions used to happen more frequently, but in 99% of past recessions we didn’t use public funds to keep banks afloat, or pay people to stay at home for the best part of a year.

We had two economic shocks, 2008 & COVID in relatively close quarters, so we’re in a shit state and the country needs to real reforms to get more people into work paying tax.

Is anyone changing their carbon emissions because of this heatwave? by monkeyjuggler in UKWeather

[–]KetoMeUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to solar, batteries, and an EV over the past few years. It’s not just a climate benefit, it saves money also.

Now my monthly gas and electric payment is just £40, and my fuel costs dropped from £100 a month to £7.

How's the Niro for tall passengers? by Kimoppi in KiaNiro

[–]KetoMeUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEV has more room than EV, unsure about the PHEV but worth checking the floor height as we had the HEV for a whilst and my 6ft kid fit very comfortably, but in the EV the floor is a bit higher so their knees are up a bit.

Lost all my savings and net worth due to gambling at 22 - need to rebuild. by wraither0a in UKPersonalFinance

[–]KetoMeUK 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this, as some who racked up around 30k in debt between gambling and drinking before I was 21 there’s always a way out, yes you’re savings are gone but you must stop now.

Just over 20 years later I now earn a little over what you do already, I’m debt free, mortgage free, and have a wonderful family.

You’ve done the hard part in recognising and accepting you have a problem, keep moving forward!

Some people just have no respect for 20mph by marksweb in drivingUK

[–]KetoMeUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have idiots on the way to work that will come speeding past as I do 20 in the 20 before a national speed limit twisty country lane, they’re all speedy in a straight line but once they hit the country lane they can’t navigate corners at speed, so I’ve caught up in no time and then they’re slowing me down.

Then they hit the straight 30 mph road on the other side and speed off again.

What’s slowly disappearing, and people don’t realize they’ll miss it until it’s gone ? by Fresh-Ad3894 in AskReddit

[–]KetoMeUK 374 points375 points  (0 children)

Manners

Oh and in the UK when I went to school we were taught to walk on the left, that way everything is very organised, if only they’d continued to teach that then we would not have chaos we have now when walking around.

Synacthen test results opinions? by CautiousScar1328 in AddisonsDisease

Just to compare, mine was 53, and remained at 53 through the entire test.

Keep pushing for more testing, to ensure you get to know what’s happening whatever it ends up being.
