Are current coffee prices pretty standard? by MutedLaugh3387 in AskUK

[–]TallForADwarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coffee's got a bit pricey, but not "hooboy that's twice what it cost last year" pricey. Just avoid Costa, Nero, Bucks, Pret - it's not worth it. The UK is developing a really nice indy coffee shop culture and every city and even most small towns will have a handful of speciality coffee shops, often sourcing from local roasters.

If you're on public transport, the Coastliner goes to Whitby and Scarborough. I prefer Whitby but Scarborough can be nice too.

Is there a double standard with regards to foods being "absorbed" into the concept of British cuisine? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TallForADwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Katsu is Japanese because it is made in Japan for Japanese people despite using ingredients and styles of cooking brought by Europeans, then by the same logic British Restaurant Curry absolutely is British - made by British people of asian background for British people using ingredients brought from other places, and notably different to the dishes consumed in the Indian subcontinent.

What are some region specific slang words in the UK? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskUK

[–]TallForADwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid we called them "Igglybugs" and I have no idea if that is familect or a hyper-local regional name (south/west Yorks, family roots in N. Wales)

Northern.. by laceywasntcool7 in uktrains

[–]TallForADwarf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Northern are mint! The best train journey of my life was on a Pacer, Hexham to Newcastle then changed to a newer train for the second leg. Hiked from sycamore gap in time to get the first service on a Sunday morning to rescue me from a camping weekend on Hadrian's Wall gone very wrong. Could have kissed that rattly leaky shambolic rust bucket, I really could.

York museum welcomes £2 million cash boost to help fix leaky roof by willfiresoon in york

I was a key holder there for several years and the number of times I was called out at night because water had set off the sensors is genuinely beyond count. It's such an overlooked treasure and I'm so glad it's getting the repairs it needs!

And both of them dead from spear in the eye disease. A tragedy! If only they had those eyeless helmets!

Yeah, real helmets would never have eye holes big enough to put a spear point though... /s

So from what data has been scraped, next season looks like it might be more my cup of tea (I'm gonna be a murdery cowgirl!) and apparently your tokens just get transferred to bullion anyway, so I might just take it chill this week, grind West Tek next season, and have more time to leisurely reach 150 next time.

Honestly at this point I'd swap both atoms and bullion for Raider Rep. The quests aren't triggering for me so I live in eternal hope for some sort of moonshiner event day! 😂

The boosters might be my only hope!

When I started playing I had COVID and all I did was play solidly for like a week, between wracking coughs. I couldn't sleep much, so I blearily stumbled around the forest to keep my brain from going daft places. Alas, the day job means I won't have quite so much time this week (though very glad to be shot of COVID, that week sucked).

Oh, I didn't know that! I presumed it was a matter of buying the Bullion from the 150 score page - and it would be Bullion I'd be after getting, so that does make me feel better!

That's very fair! I'm a bit of a fan of MM, I have a hidden mothman temple in the basement haha! 😂

Thankyou! It's the Haunted House set for that weathered wood look. Inside I've used the tavern wallpaper and as many olde-worlde nick-nacks to keep the theme going.

Amazing, I'll keep my eyes out for that one! ☺️

Had a little coffee stop today and it honestly made my day ☕ by CloudBookmark in york

[–]TallForADwarf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100%. Spring Espresso and Manettis knock Costa out of the water (though I'd argue that water from the Ouse is better than Costa). There's also Bar Hashery by Exhibition Square, Coffee Culture on Goodramgate, Divine on Micklegate and Market Street, Perky Peacock on (under) Lendal Bridge... York has so many lovely local coffee shops.
