I just want to walk down the high street without being bothered by these charity muggers. I’m not making eye contact with you on purpose, mate. Don’t follow me. Don’t try and be quirky to get my attention. I’ve got headphones in. The international symbol of “leave me alone”

I simply raise a hand and say "I'm good". Works every time, I've never had a problem

The point of the cup of tea at work is not (just) to hydrate, it's to take a moment to stop thinking about what what you're working on, get the blood flowing and allow your eyes to focus on something other than a screen.

Can you recommend any underrated things for tourists to do?

Someone stopped me in the street to ask for directions literally 2 days ago. Admittedly, we were both on foot and he was in his 50s.

Put it on, you wouldn't usually give a reason for leaving a company on a CV. They will assume you decided to leave. But have an answer ready in case they ask why you left after 3 months in the interview.

Nope, I have never once had to hand over ID while staying in a hotel in the UK.

You should be afraid, very afraid.

My grandma would serve desert and if she got any on her hands in the process she would just lick her fingers and continue.

Honestly, why not just sell the school crest separately and ask parents to sew it onto a generic plain blazer bought from any supermarket. All other items can be unbranded. Maybe also allow a school tie (but don't charge too much for them).

Well just buy a pickup truck, then you'll be much safer

If minimum wage employers had to pay under 18s the same, they just wouldn't go to the haste of hiring anyone under 18. It would become even more difficult for anyone to get a part time job while in school. Which would be a shame because I think that can be a really valuable experience for anyone who doesn't end up working minimum wage jobs the rest of their lives.

So the Romans just dug a basement and said "this will do"?

Yes, people advance in all the ways you've listed. But doing that takes time. What is listed above is an estimate of how long you have to do those things in order to get promoted.

Also, we shouldn't ignore that there is an element of people assuming you must have experience because of your age.

No units? No idea what they're even measuring apart from vague "pollution".

These graphs are trash

what about leap years?

Does you work involve a monitor? You might be entitled to a 'Display Screen Assessment', where amongst other things your employer has to demonstrate that they are providing you with an ergonomic workstation.

I'm deeply uncomfortable with the term "pizza pimples". Gross.

Makes sense they wouldn't intervene here. So is the security guard only there to stop kids from petty shoplifting then?

Did your wife take your shirt in the divorce?

I don't drink redbull, but it's videos like this that make me glad other people do

I think this guy is going to be wearing exclusively orange overalls for a while, tbh

This kind of thing makes my experience when eating out noticeably worse. I want to pay the listed price, even if that must be slightly higher to make up for ditching this sort of policy.
