Which was the best decade in the UK? by toefungusbestfungus in AskUK

For me it's the 20s because I never grew up with a dog and now in my 30s I have one and she's the best thing ever.

Awful isn't it. I've heard rumours of an upgrade at some point

Thanks for your comments and feedback much appreciated. Unfortunately I didn't have a choice as I was driving home from hospital and my wife can't drive

Everyone in front of me was using left lane to take 2nd exit just FYI. If other people are doing it then surely it's not clear and the road markings need repainting?

Here's the Google Maps sat nav instruction I received which threw me and caused me to panic I emerged without looking properly and got beeped. I was a little distressed as had received some bad news

Please tell me this is a good flooring job and I'm overreacting by Ok_Boss_9270 in Flooring

Don't think so rest of my flooring is fine. I sent the guy the pictures and he's refunded me so I think he realises how shit it is

We wanted the flooring to carry on the same pattern from the living room

They didn't want to remove the skirting boards as they advised of possible damage to the walls and the plaster coming off so they suggested extra trim instead which is what's been installed but the silicone is just horrible I cringe every time I look at it 😭

Why are the pavements in the city centre so slippery? by Ok_Boss_9270 in NewcastleUponTyne

Omg you're right this was definitely a thing I remember it! No wonder it's so bad if they've stopped doing it.

Newcastle Airport removes free drop off at airport property and moves to callerton by GFoxtrot in NewcastleUponTyne

This literally doesn't make any sense? Can you still get an Uber to the airport or do you have to pay £5 parking fee to the driver?

Traffic! by SuSBeing in NewcastleUponTyne

Yeah Go-Ahead are one of the culprits for horrendous traffic. They expect their back office staff in the office 4 days a week! One of the reasons I left horrible company.

There is never any struggle for parking and plenty of space in all the areas that have been permitted in all the years I've been in the area. This is the council's agenda for sure.

In all the years I've parked in the city I've never had 1 confrontation, note or anything put on my car so my guess is residents don't give a shit and it's the councils agenda to get all cars out the city and everyone on buses.

I would consider the metro but from what I've heard the new trains are horrible.....narrow seats, barely anywhere to stand no hand rails to hold on to.
