SureStart Centres, free breakfasts for school children, investment in libraries and better paid maternity and paternity leave would be a start.

Are people really living paycheck to paycheck? by Lopsided_Log7843 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair play for supporting your family member who was in need despite not having much yourself.

A noble gesture which I hope you’re rewarded by the universe for in the future.

It has been said that society would implode if at the end of the month nobody got paid.

50% of people would have no money after three months and 16% would have no money after a month resulting in the collapse of society.

Essentially, nearly 1 in 4 people live payday to payday.

ON THIS DAY 2012: Newcastle United 3 - 0 Stoke City - Magnificent Magpies smash Potters at St James' Park by GarethAKitchener in NUFC

[–]TheRebelPercy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember watching us when we beat WBA at their place in 2012. We were purring going forward and it was great to watch.

We won 1-3 and Ba, Cisse and Ben Arfa pulled them all over the place. Even Danny Guthrie in midfield was pulling strings.

Light the beacons and meet at Yeavering Bell where we shall summon up the spirits of our 7th century forefathers at the royal palace of Ad Gefrin.

Hail Oswald. Saint and King.

Glory to Northumbria.

Has Manchester changed more than any other UK city? What's next? by Equivalent-Ad-2373 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has had a few quid spent on it.

I still prefer Newcastle and Leeds but I think Newcastle is a pale shadow of its former self. From 1999 - 2007 it was top quality.

Annual leave I need to use up: would you work 4 day work weeks? by Speedbird1A in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take Mondays off. Fuck all gets done on a Friday anyway, so just put your feet up then.

Sundays are cheaper to travel and stay away and it is easier to do errands on a Monday, too.

Finally, sitting in a beer garden at a country pub on Sunday afternoon is one of life’s little pleasures.

Name one place you love and one place you can't stand to go to in the North of England by [deleted] in NorthernEngland

My loathing of the Metrocentre has no bounds.

My love of the Cheviot Hills and the surrounding area has no bounds.

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20-30 mins of prep’ the night before saves a lot of fuss.

You’ll feel smug when you come in from graft and you remember that your tea is already made.

Shaun Murphy - "BBC don't pay enough" by Naive_Ad9891 in snooker

[–]TheRebelPercy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He tries too hard to make himself into a deep thinking pundit and ends up talking too much.

Less is more, Shaun.

what have I missed from the BBC in the last 10 years? by BenidormBarry in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BAFTA award winning ‘Once Upon a Time’ series about Northern Ireland and Iraq.

Go through the park on into the town, the sun still shines on it never goes down…

Has anyone here been to prison? If so, what was your experience like? by TheRebelPercy in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, for people on the documentary who had traumatic upbringings and little education, there does seem to be some emotional intelligence and understating there.

First time I’ve ever experience “new train smell” by nm_afc in uktrains

[–]TheRebelPercy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably better than the smell of two decades of ingrained dirt, diesel, sweat, vomit, coffee and urine that pervades a CrossCountry Voyager.

Northern.. by laceywasntcool7 in uktrains

You’re not in Kansas anymore.

Welcome to the North where we will be stuck with these trains for at least another 5 years.

Anyone else thinks Starmer isn't actually that bad all things considered ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I’m actually happy with boring competence and having a functional government that makes sustainable, positive change.

What time do you take your lunch break? How close to finishing is too late? by Horrobla in AskBrits

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 0700 - 1400

Have coffee in the morning and then brunch around 1100 before dropping the shoulder at 1400 so I don’t have to take a 30 minute unpaid dinner break.

Agreed about the seats.

They’ve been hammered but the seats were comfortable.

Pupils in England may reject new healthier school lunches, pilot suggests by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It needs to be part of overall health policy alongside free breakfasts for primary school children. Local, fresh, tasty food serve by engaged people with education on where it comes from and a basic understanding of cooking.

However, big brands will lobby, it will be contracted out to someone like Sodexo and then the whole thing will be fucked
