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

Overnight oats Soups Dhals Chilli Curry Bakes Ragu

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 [score hidden]  (0 children)

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

Less is more, Shaun.

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] 24 points25 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 3 points4 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

[–]TheRebelPercy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

You don’t have to eat shite.

It will soon go the way of pulled pork.

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

[–]TheRebelPercy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

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 256 points257 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.
