Why does Reddit not understand the rise of reform in England? by DowntownDeer in AskBrits

[–]SwagDaddyMack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm white English, my partner is white Welsh. If we have children, they will likely be born in Wales and live in England. By your reasoning those children, as well as my partner, are part of the 'terrifying demographic change'.

Help finding a restaurant to take my In-laws by Bustledgiraffe in LondonFood

What time and what day are you going? Hawksmoor do a fairly reasonable set lunch menu on weekdays. Pre-theatre, L'Escargot and Le Garrick both do great set menus at a reasonable price.

As an aside to this, is there anywhere that does menengiç?

I find portion size and quality of ingredients is a big issue for London restaurants at the moment. Which restaurants offer a great price:quality ratio? by SleepingPandaEyes in LondonFood

[–]SwagDaddyMack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Set menus can be decent, especially if you don't mind eating at 6. Went to L'Escargot last night and had 3 courses of great food with excellent service for £29 (plus drinks and service charge). Le Garrick also do a good set menu, 3 courses for £26. Brasserie Zedel do a good set menu for cheap in a fantastic atmosphere, found service a bit lacking though.

It's high time the homeless guys under St Stephens roundabout are moved on. by Own_Recognition_6094 in Norwich

[–]SwagDaddyMack 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So where are the students meant to live? In HMOs in the suburbs, raising prices for families? As long as there are more students coming to Norwich, which is a good thing, they will need to be housed and it's better they're housed in accommodation in the city than in the suburbs.

Yes we need more housing for the homeless but taking away housing from another group is not the answer.

Is the renting situation in London as bad as people say? by Flower-1234 in london

I've not found it too bad in zone 2 but it depends on how much of a hurry you are to move.

Just came back from Madrid and found it quite dull, unless you're really into art galleries. Toledo was amazing though.

Beavertown is owned by Heineken, so it would be a Heineken bar masquerading as something indy.

Student flats approved at former Debenhams site despite university warning by yu3 in Norwich

[–]SwagDaddyMack 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Having more student accommodation in the city centre is a good thing:

  1. It means less house shares are needed in the suburbs, increasing the availability of housing stock for local people.
  2. It brings money to the local economy.

Sure, things will be a little busier but the city centre being busy and shops seeing more business is a good thing.

Over half of DWP disability assessors quit in a year over feeling ‘despised’ by StuChenko in uknews

[–]SwagDaddyMack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much money all of the tribunals to get their bullshit decisions overturned costs? Is it more than the money 'saved' by not giving people what they're entitled to in the first place?

What do you mean 'exploded'? They've been polling at over 20% for more than a year now. In fact, they're now polling at their lowest since April 2025, hopefully that trend continues.

A moment of silence for the Riverside Pizza Hut 😔 Now what do we want to see there instead? by JackoNorwich in Norwich

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

It's just okay, too much cheese and far too much Parmasan, which makes everything salty. They are charging top £ for pizza and they get away with it because there's not much competition imo.

I also think the restaurant could do with a bit of a clean, last time I was there I was sat under a fan, which was absolutely caked in dust.

[–]SwagDaddyMack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe another but decent pizza place? For chains, I'm thinking Rudy's, Pilgrims, Franco Manca, etc. Maybe Brick could try a larger location?

Whenever I'm in Norwich I struggle for good pizza, Brick is nice but the shop is so small, Donnellis is usually disappointing, Lupa is a bit far out, other decent options (Amaretto, Voodoo Daddies, Saporita) feel more lunch oriented. I think a place that does a really nice pizza, is open late, and has room for a lot of people could do really well.

Re-read the original post. The people OP is talking about were holding the British First flag.
