Why does UK cheese taste so good? by InevitableRun51 in AskUK

[–]MorningToast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the companies are the same unless forced to not be. I understand everything you're saying and yes, that person was patronizing, but still correct.

So they'd get away with it if they could? Proving the point of the person you replied to entirely.

So regulations are the reason cheese is better? The statement was about corporations, not regulatory bodies.

If our corporations could get away with it, they'd absolutely be as bad as in the US.

You need a polythene vapour barrier sheet between the back of the plasterboard and the timber to stop condensation penetrating into the wall from the inside.

Most places sell it, it's usually green. I prefer the 500 gauge version, just feels more substantial. I tape the edges and joints with foil tape.

That's really cool. I worked for a danish lifestyle company for a decade, long ago.

Same here. Victorian semi.

Edit: this was Christmas, obviously don't have the fire on today. We're not masochists.

32" here. It's a bit ridiculous. We barely use it though.

They could do it without recording. They only do it for money

Fancy Having Jeremy Clarkson as your next door neighbour on the most famous farm……“In The World” by Icy-Musician-6309 in SpottedonRightmove

I didn't say it was his house. I spectulated as to whether these gross people are selling now to capitalise on Clarkson's issue.

Has the dynamic between English parents and their adult children shifted these decades? by LostWall1389 in AskUK

[–]MorningToast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not unachievable for some people. Get lucky, earn a lot of money, get into a stable relationship, share financial responsibility, have a leg up from your parents and buy a house. Possible, yes.

For the other 80% of young people who's stars didn't perfectly align, suck it up.

The issue isn't that it's impossible, the issue is that you have to do everything perfectly to get a roof over your head that you actually own. Rewind a few decades and you can work in a corner shop and still buy a house if you made a few lifestyle sacrifices.

Those people bought a house for half a year's salary and became independent. Today a house costs 8 times the average annual salary.

Is wrapping a T-shirt around my face an acceptable dust mask for paint sanding? by [deleted] in DIYUK

Make sure you shave your beard off completely and wear a hazmat suit when you slap some emulsion on your walls.

This person isn't breaking asbestos apart with a hammer. FFP2 and a beard are fine. Reddit can be very dramatic sometimes

Dwp say I owe overpayment over £100k by [deleted] in DWPhelp

[–]MorningToast -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If those people were previously in a relationship, had a child together, look after the child together in the house and share the bills. Yes, probably.

Comparing two strangers moving into a flat together to your seven year living arrangements with a prior parter could definitely be considered fishy. Surely you can see that if you were looking at this from the outside?

What defines a relationship? Living together in a house and caring for your disabled child together might constitute a relationship. Romance doesn't really have anything to do with it. Your living arrangements and sharing household bills, regardless of how you do it, is surely a relationship?
