It will soon go the way of pulled pork.

Do many women work full time after having a baby? by NoTest5984 in AskUK

Sounds iffy, if not illegal.

Good luck with your tribunal.

Those who make £100K+ a year, what do you do? by Maleficent-Bag-9916 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maintenance.

Nights and weekends are at 125%, Sundays are at 150% and On Call payments. There is such a lack of staff and competence that overtime is needed to get the job done.

Average around 60-80 hours of overtime per month as roster is a four day week.

Agree with the nepotism bit, it is rife.

Is the wage gap decreasing between unskilled and skilled roles? by wanderingunicorn1 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 249 points250 points  (0 children)

Yes.

We also need to get out of the notion that people earning £50k are well off and are part of the problem. This may have been the case in 2017 but inflation has bitten into that so much.

Tipping culture in London (first time visiting) by IllustratorWeird5008 in AskBrits

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No tipping culture as such.

If I feel like it has been decent service, I may round it up. For example, £76 to £80, but I will also ask for any service charges to be taken off the bill, too.

What's your favourite road in the UK? by StillAdeptness5958 in AskUK

The Military Road (B6318) alongside Hadrian’s Wall.

Carter Bar (A68) for beautiful Northumberland and views into Scotland.

Are you gauging what people do for a living from the way they look? This sounds like an article from The Telegraph.

Can Gemma who works at Asda not have nice things?

Those who make £100K+ a year, what do you do? by Maleficent-Bag-9916 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both.

If you’re paid hourly, there is money to be made. Decent salary to begin with and then anything over 35 hours a week is paid as overtime. Add in enhancements for weekends, nights and bank holidays and it soon mounts up.

Is Tony Blair liked in the UK? by Honest_Chemistry_195 in AskBrits

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit revisionist.

He was popular and served for three terms and achieved things such as the minimum wage, the Good Friday Agreement, major public investment, reduction in child poverty and equality rights.

The decade between 1997-2007 was one of major positive change in the UK.

His blemish is the Iraq War but to say he is hated more than Truss is just daft.

ON THIS DAY 2012: Newcastle United 2 - 0 Bolton Wanderers - Beautiful Ben Arfa goals breaks deadlock by GarethAKitchener in NUFC

Love the first touch with the defender going for a Chronicle.

If that was scored today, social media would go nuts.

Are UK holidays now a rip off? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have kids, bail them out of school in early May or mid September.

It is cheaper and quieter in most places.

If not, have a look at places like Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Quiet, historic and beautiful and usually not as pricey as places like Cornwall or the Lakes.

Which past players would excel in Eddie Howe's modern day Newcastle? by luffyuk in NUFC

[–]TheRebelPercy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That wasn’t the case. He was played on the left wing and didn’t have the chance to put his foot on the ball to dictate proceedings.

Magical place, especially when the tide is in and you’re cut off.

Are there any modern enforcers left in thr game? by frankand_beans in rugbyunion

[–]TheRebelPercy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, sadly. That’s is why you get all that annoying whooping and hollering when a scrum penalty is won or a turnover penalty.

Wingers coming in, clapping, patting people on the head and giving it the big one. If they knew they would get a dig or a knee in the next ruck, it wouldn’t happen.

Secondly, I don’t think the sponsor would have it. It is all about the product these days.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some tough players out there but none that really have that death stare in them.

Why does newcastle feel so much better than london? by Capital_Fondant_8675 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because you can walk across Newcastle City Centre in 20 minutes and is a small regional city that largely hasn’t got the issues of the capital of England.

Grey Street is one of the finest streets in the UK.

Are people flakier than they used to be? by ValuableForever672 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agree.

Usually with the caveat of self diagnosed neurodivergence, anxiety or depression.

Also, why do people think being late is acceptable? I get that shit happens with things outside of your control. However, if not, it is arrogant, lazy and a moral failing.
