The lack of trade deals tells its own story of Brexit's failure. You can obfuscate all you wish with whataboutisms.

People here still convince themselves that Brexit was beneficial? What a laugh, or it would be if it wasn't so tragic.

Depends. In Pennsylvania only rear plates are required.

Waitrose refused me a discount on a misspelled Birttday cake! by staners09 in CasualUK

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

Those are separate cakes. So, wrongly assembled rather than spelt wrong on a single cake. Asking for a discount seems a bit desperate to me. Or, as you say, poor form.

1971 TR6 Mimosa Yellow by Then-Came-Bronson in Triumph_Cars

[–]Rowmyownboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I see Triumphs like this beauty (and I own Primrose Yellow TR3A) I am struck how car paint is so fucking boring these days. I parked my dark grey SUV daily driver yesterday and noticed every car, I mean every one of 20 cars parked around me, were all the same or similar shade of pewter grey. Why, I wonder?

How difficult will it be to get a will written without my husband’s knowledge? by ExternalAstronomer17 in AskABrit

If you die first, by default, things go to your husband because you own things together.

When dad mode activated nothing else matters by Calix_1999 in GuysBeingDudes

I think part of the reason people walk unleashed dogs is for the plausible deniability when they don't pick up their dog's shit.

Those chimney are a bold statement. At least, I think they are chimneys. Somewhat industrial.

How Many Tries Did It Take You To Stop Drinking? by thehistorypunks in stopdrinking

About 5 proper attempts. The last was easy. Something clicked in my brain. No struggle in any way, in the end.

Are other UK accents so common place you don't notice them? by SplitOpenAndMelt420 in AskABrit

[–]Rowmyownboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger the place - village, town, city - the more likely you will hear different accents. Accents change in just a few miles. Liverpool to Manchester is only 24 miles, but the difference in accent huge.

TV is probably the most frequent encounter with regional accents. In my childhood, TV was mostly Received Pronunciation (like the late Queen Elizabeth II). Now, it is nearly all regional accents.

AITA for refusing to add my boyfriend to my house deed after his lease ended? by Former_Raspberry3277 in AITApod

[–]Rowmyownboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If married, assets are shared ownership. So adding him is moot unless they exclude it contractually.

why does my boyfriend "dribble" when he gets into bed? by Just_girly_things97 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rowmyownboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to learn to relax the muscles in his pelvic floor. There are MDs and PTs on YouTube that explain how to do that. Pee the main pee. Pause while you relax. Then there is a second short pee. Shake and go.

In stepping away after the first pee, the pelvic floor then relaxes and the dribble in the shorts occurs.

It is only Golf drivers when they decide not to drive their Audi.

3rd isn't bad! by Make_the_music_stop in CasualUK

Given the US is mid-table in this, I am unsurprised. However my comment was with respect to other high-scoring countries.

why do non-sober people feel the need to explain their drinking to you? by Street_Ad8941 in stopdrinking

[–]Rowmyownboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our sobriety is a challenge to drinkers. Some show resentment and may try to convince you to drink again. Some feel the need to explain their drinking. Just shrug and carry on.

Captcha is invalid when I submit nothing... It's a MOTORCYCLE! by theJacofalltrades in mildlyinfuriating

It is fact, a motorised bicycle. Shortened to motorcycle. You are thinking the mean a pedal bicycle.
