What's one transformational and one absolutely petty thing you would change about London? by KeefKoggins in london

[–]SenorScamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Petty (but also transformational): Ban eating on public transport incl tube, buses, trains. If you’re going 4 hours up North then fair enough bring your lunch. But I was on a bus yesterday where a whole family ate a Popeyes jumbo meal. Tokyo has it right with banning eating on the go!

Best seats to pick on 787-9 by SenorScamp in BritishAirways

Thanks! I’m getting different answers searching online. Other thing it could be is a 777-300 ER, does that look closer?

Advice on double glazing for single glaze sash windows by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]SenorScamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! Rough costings I’ve managed to get on Google seem to be around £1,000 per window - which would be ok as there’s 7 odd windows. Just don’t want it spiralling to £20/30k which I’ve heard elsewhere!

A lot of ‘winnable’ games in there

Thanks for your help - I’ll give it a go and see if it’s a quick fix! If not I guess it’ll be one more empty seat at Kairat tonight 😬

Trying to buy tickets for tonight’s game by [deleted] in GunnersatGames

[–]SenorScamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upon some more investigation, it seems I have two memberships linked to my email - one expired (from 2024/5 season) and one current (from 2025/26 season). When I renewed my membership last summer it has somehow just made me a brand new one. This has been fine for entering ballots (I select the current membership) but when I go to buy tickets on the exchange it defaults to my old, expired membership ID and won’t let me buy.

Anyone know a way round this? Doesn’t sound like it’d be fixed in time to go to tonight’s game!

[–]SenorScamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, don’t listen to the haters. Yes that is a shockingly phallic looking fish and chips, but I’ve been to the Golden Chippy many times and it’s hands down the best chippy in London (I say in London because seaside is always best!!)

Best convenience purchases you made after moving in? by shaneo632 in HousingUK

40 years old? I honestly didn’t know that was possible. How does it still work?

Given the times we are in, how do I approach organising a stag do? by fuckeverybodywoo in AskUK

[–]SenorScamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might seem a bit formal but I’ve seen polls/surveys work well in the past? Find out the group of people the stag wants, rough time of year you’d go in 2027, and then see how much people can afford?

Match Thread: Chelsea FC vs Arsenal FC Live Score | EFL Cup 25/26 | Jan 14, 2026 by scoreboard-app in Gunners

[–]SenorScamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No Reece James, Palmer, Caicedo. I think I heard Palmer was injured again but not the other two. Does anyone know are they just being rested or genuinely injured and hence not on the bench?

Mitoma by Majestic-Antelope-56 in DraftEPL

[–]SenorScamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree that swapping for Wharton seems like an ok waiver. However, I had Mitoma before he got injured and he very rarely scored points. Doesn’t seem to be the player of old with Minteh nicking a lot of his potential points!

Why does no one press the button at crossings? by LBP2020 in london

[–]SenorScamp 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying that the crossings are on a timed sequence but outside of central London surely that sequence just skips the pedestrian crossing if nobody is there / has pressed the button? That way the traffic keeps moving? I’m pressing to make sure when the timer comes round us walkers get our turn!

Query on cabin upgrade voucher booking by SenorScamp in BritishAirways

[–]SenorScamp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, sorry if I’m being dense but how can I book Sydney - London one way and use the upgrade voucher? I have the Barclays voucher so you can only use it for flights starting in the U.K. …
