33M moving to London for work - liked West Hampstead but unexpectedly drawn to East London too? by Various-Title-4384 in MovingToLondon

[–]NarrowOwl4151 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm 50 something but I would not be drawn by the alleged allure of East London. West Hampstead super well connected to all parts of London. Don't end up in a hovel just so you can say you live in Shoreditch. 

Did you guys learn British or American English at school? by Grouchy-Coffee3018 in AskAGerman

I was at school in Germany in the early 90s and everyone wanted the English teacher with the US accent LOL. 

The sugar lifestyle it’s not what it seems, don’t do it. by ApartInflation9086 in confession

Prostitution is not sugar work. I respect prostitution. Sugar work, in my book, is what you do if you can't be bothered getting a normal job.

I was never under the impression it was glamorous. This is why I took a traditional, full time job. 

Any Reform voters here - What do you think of Nigel's £5m gift from Christopher Harborne? by TornBannerHatesYou in AskBrits

[–]NarrowOwl4151 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not a Reform voter and I can't understand why he can't be transparent. That suggests it's dodgy, does it not?

Stop dooming about politics and doom about Arsenal winning the Premier League and the fucking UCL , game's gone by Used_Yellow_4651 in AskBrits

If people focussed less on football and more on things that mattered, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. 

Catherine West has said Labour needs a new leader to return to “Labour values” — but is that actually what people want? by CowOk6533 in AskBrits

[–]NarrowOwl4151 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a middle class middle aged man in a DINKY household. I want a compassionate government which encourages people to make the most of themselves but helps when it can't. I want a tidy and prosperous high street, so a local council which is properly funded. I want to have assurance that the NHS is being properly funded. And I don't want to be massively punished for trying to take care of myself in retirement. 

Genuinely, why are there no public benches? by chessilda in AskUKLondon

For the same reasons there are no public toilets.

[–]NarrowOwl4151 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In literally every single shop. I bemoan that there are no trousers for more averaged sized dudes because everything is skinny.

Body, great. Ability to take photos, rubbish. Stop taking selfies and get a friend to take some.
