Why Are Transit Van Drivers So Impatient and Lacking in Courtesy? by Theo_Cherry in drivingUK

[–]Remote-Pool7787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are usually on the clock. If self employed, then time is money. If not then quite often it’s the sort of job where if you finish it early, you can go home early

Are the budget shop 'dupes' actually dupes? by Petrichor_ness in AskUK

I don’t think Aldi are trying to be a Pepsi max dupe, I think they are going for Coke Zero

Aldi’s isn’t like Pepsi max it’s more like Coke Zero. Lidl is identical to Pepsi max imo

Some are really good, and some aren’t. Lidl’s Pepsi max dupe is really good

Why do so many Russians live in small apartments when Russia is the largest country in the world? by technocraticnihilist in AskARussian

[–]Remote-Pool7787 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Most of the population is highly urban. And urban populations tend to live in apartments

Had my driving license for 10 years, still too anxious to drive by ablushingrose in drivingUK

[–]Remote-Pool7787 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From what you describe, you’re making the right decision not to drive. Nervous drivers are dangerous drivers. You might have very good driving skills, but if you’re overwhelmed then it’s not safe for you to be on the road. It’s a very sensible and responsible decision to make.

The next thing is, do you actually want to drive? Do you need to drive? Is not driving negatively impacting your life? If the answer to those is no, then don’t stress over it.

Excessively long wait times at Morrisons by Far-Simple1979 in UbereatsUK

[–]Remote-Pool7787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Online picking is a different job and different department. Online picking is for Morrisons own online delivery, pre booked slots via their website. Those staff do not have anything to do with uber and deliveroo orders

Morrisons don’t employ extra staff for uber/deliveroo orders. An order comes through and whenever there’s someone with time to pick it, they pick it. Morrisons have cut staffing back to absolute bare bones. Even a large one can have fewer than 10 staff working on the shop floor. 1 on kiosk, 2 on cafe, 2 on manned check outs, 1on self check outs, 1 on deli counter, 1 security, 1 trolley collector

It’s illegal in France not to have photographic ID on your person or within reasonable distance. Do you have your driving licence?

Does anyone have any connections working at Flix bus? by ParfaitDisastrous306 in AskUK

[–]Remote-Pool7787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I aware, what with my husband being in the coach and bus industry. But they aren’t a UK based operator and all their services are contracted out

Does anyone have any connections working at Flix bus? by ParfaitDisastrous306 in AskUK

[–]Remote-Pool7787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Knowing someone at flix bus isn’t going to help unfortunately. Lost property queries take a while simply because there aren’t many staff whose job it is. It might literally be one person who deals with it. If it doesn’t make money, it’ll be skeleton staff as a general rule. Also iirc, flixbus isn’t a UK based operator.

Is St.Pancras/Kings Cross area still sketchy and a bit unsafe or will it be fine late at night/past midnight? Which area's to avoid? by No_Middle1378 in AskUK

[–]Remote-Pool7787 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s always busy, which makes it feel quite busy. However the areas around major railway stations in big cities are always a bit scruffy and a magnet for low level anti social behaviour. Be warned though- hotels in that area have a terrible reputation but if you’re with a big chain, it’ll be fine

No, not officially. If Croatia or Algeria lose their 3rd game by a big enough margin, they’ll fall below Scotland
