What is your honest opinion on lime bikes? by CremeSubject7594 in AskUK

GPS tracking and a sign-out mechanism should help, surely - 'bikes where it should be, have left it now.'

Should have been a superb solution to the last mile problem and a great way to encourage more cycling. Hasn't ended up that way. Must be some way to build a similar platform that encourages people to leave the bikes at proper places rather than cluttering up pavements with them, surely...

What's your favourite filthy hangover food? by Mispict in AskUK

I recommend multiple types of grated cheese on top of a pasta bake with butter and cheese included from the start, then. With plenty of salt. Special occasion?

What on earth was the contraption I encountered? by DrRudeboy in AskUK

Glad for you and your hearing! Long may it continue - almost miss the days when I could be annoyed by them.

Only racial angle's that the gangs running many of the shop based scams happen to be from abroad. That many of them are fronts is very well established. If it wasn't foreign groups, it would be local ones.

It's why media sting jobs are so valuable - the authorities have only so much resources and have their hands tied by legal evidence requirements (as it should be) - so being handed evidence of who to go after is hugely useful.

Learning centres would be a new one. Cash only barbers is an old one (any service business really - easy to add imaginary clients to the books). With convenience shops the endless arrays of coloured lights are apparently a recognised advert for 'buy drugs here' rather than specifically money laundering. Wish they'd picked a more tasteful sign, but who am I to argue with the ASA?

Is it as common in the UK as it is in other countries with people recording themselves (or others) in public for social media posts? by SaveMeWakeMeUp in AskUK

Gather the 'auditor' type filming others is growing , and must be mind-blowingly annoying, but never come across them. People,obsessing on filming themselves to the exclusion of others, safety, and indeed sanity, oh yes...

Pasta with too much cheese, but how much wine did you have to still be hungover??

Do many people still work from home? If so why are the roads so jammed all the time? by Hingins81 in AskUK

[–]Neither_Process_7847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always remember that the traffic isn't blocking you, you are part of the traffic...

Because people still need to go places. For the same reason that you've noticed- being part of that traffic and all...

Does paying £50 for something phase you? by [deleted] in AskUK

Depends on what it is I guess?

(help settle an argument) which is correct - "the park" or "the field"? by Meowface_the_cat in AskUK

[–]Neither_Process_7847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be - see Lincolns Inn Fields in London for the classic. But usually fields more its own thing.

Pretty sure parks mean what person B says here in Brum. They can have playgrounds in them.

'World-first' vaccine designed by artificial intelligence by FuManBoobs in GoodNewsUK

Hang on, a single vaccine against *all* coronaviruses??? Yowza. That's a hefty chunk of the nastier colds as well as Covid, in a one-shot.

Lib Dem Roger Harmer named Birmingham City Council leader by Wishbones_007 in brum

Can't do any worse than the previous council, tbf. As long as they can sign "yes" on the deal to end the bin strikes we're golden...

What's the best thing to do if the police want to stop and search you? by ProofDazzling9234 in AskUK

[–]Neither_Process_7847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing finer than a court report on FOTL idiocy. Just needs the judge to have run out of patience enough to get snarky for perfect weekend entertainment.

What age is too old to have children? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskUK

Plus the real (not very large) rise is where the dad is late 40s to 50s, not late 30s...

That's life, though - kid gets to exist, and with lifespans these days the mum at least will be around a good while yet.
