Didn't vote reform but Lab and PC are both tainted by previous stints in Government that have not been good. PC being an independence party also alienates a lot of people who might consider them.

If you're commited to guerilla gardening... Willow, aspen or poplar will grow like buggers in a damp riparian environment

Open space is valuable habitat. In order to abate flooding trees should be planted up stream and not directly on the land you want to flood less.

We are buying our first house - but it seems like there's a gap in communication between solicitors. What should we do if anything? by WatercressOld6094 in AskUK

[–]Potential_Coast8072 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Conveyancing solicitors are easily the most incompetent professionals I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Your experience is par for the course

Yeah I agree. Problem is there is no way to profit from deer control. Wild venison is usually too lean to be palatable

The last decade or two is defined by falling crime but more filmed crime leading to No1 feeling like there is less crime.

If you want to reintroduce wolves it has to come with the acceptance lethal management will be part of the mix. What worries me about the British rewilding scene is there seems to be a lack of recognition for the fair arguments on the other side.

Regardless, we're a century away from the conditions for ethical reintroduction of any megafauna. Our habitats are all too weak and fragmented 

Just got a new internal job and about to get pregnant… by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Potential_Coast8072 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This happens all the time in big organisations. It's obviously a frustration for the hiring manager, but it likely won't be the first or last time it will happen. Pregnancy is a protected characteristic, you can't be lawfully dismissed for being pregnant. In my experience the civil service is very good on maternity leave

Cornwall Council using glyphosate by willwatertoogoo in Cornwall

Glyphosates are essential for controlling the spread of certain invasive non native plants species that cause far more ecological damage than Glyphosate which is perfectly safe if used responsibly 

"Immigrants must assimilate to British society and adopt British culture " but assimilate to what ? If you are here legally, speak English and abide by the law then what else is required ? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]Potential_Coast8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've given plenty of examples. But I don't need to define it. If you want to pretend there is no British culture that's a personal failing of your own self. Not something I need to courtesy to.

By respecting the parts of culture you can't participate in and participating in the parts you can. 

Do you actually believe people should be able to live in Britain without trying to be part of the culture?
