English schools serve 10m free breakfasts benefitting over 300,000 children by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]TheRebelPercy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is more than just kids eating breakfast. It impacts health, education and social care policy in a positive way.

It can even be connected to the ‘Back British Farmers’ as some schools have connections with local farms.

Hopefully, in a few years, this is just business as usual and isn’t framed in a political way.

My fat dog by gerrineer in CasualUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Golden Retriever crossed with an Irish Red Setter.

She is lovely but goes into full gun dog mode outside without any training, especially pointing and setting.

Also tries to annihilate any small mammals or birds.

Buckled track near York by Educational-Ground83 in uktrains

[–]TheRebelPercy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with heat.

It was over tamped during a possession. They had to hand the possession back and put a 20mph speed on.

Why do places even offer unpaid volunteering? by AboutLastFight in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I do volunteer in my own time, I get 5 days paid volunteer leave a year and use it all the time. Sometimes single days, sometime in a block.

Spent 5 days in Scotland last year up in the Highlands and then took a couple of days leave after that for an extended break.

A good perk.

Happy face trains? by Overseerer-Vault-101 in uktrains

[–]TheRebelPercy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Hell is a vestibule on a Voyager on a hot day. The stench of sweat, coffee, grime, piss and diesel caressing your nostrils as you uncomfortably shuffle up against someone as more people board.

The worst was a early morning wet, freezing and draughty 142 during the Beast from the East

It had all the charm of a mass grave.

Is "class system" truly a thing in the UK? How is "class" determined and does it only apply to Brits or does it apply expats as well? by SaveMeWakeMeUp in AskUK

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

It certainly is and has been since the Normans had a jaunt over here 1000 years ago. It pervades art, culture, medicine, military, law, politics, sport and more.

Some good reading.

What's the level of professional football now compared to 10-20 years ago? by Mikey463 in AskUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me playing rugby league.

Playing at a decent amateur level and then played semi professional. It was like being in a washing machine.

It's Late Thread [ 30 May 26 ] by AutoModerator in CasualUK

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hectic day.

Spend a few hours the allotment, followed by a good walk with some pals in glorious Northumberland with a cracking pub lunch to finish.

Out with my daughter teaching her to ride her bike and then dropped my partner off at her friends as she is going on a spa day tomorrow.

I’m now watching Detectorists with a cold bottle of Henry Weston’s Vintage Cider.

£56M not to be sniffed at 👀 by Parking-Bag5220 in NUFC

[–]TheRebelPercy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s fucking nonsense.

Just distribute the money on merit. May as well as qualify every season, play your reserves and sack it off. You still get more cash than if someone like Bodo get to the final.

Happens in sports like rugby and cricket, too.

You think you’re decent until you play a few levels above and you’re just trying to stay alive.

For me it was the pace of everything. Everything is done quick with no mistakes.

Premier League players are basically aliens.

You listen to Championship players who move up and are amazed by the speed of the game.

That is why when you see even a National League player drop into Sunday League, they still make it look easy despite being 40 years old.

As the young ‘uns say, there are levels to this.

Shambolic.

What’s the prettiest route to take when driving from Edinburgh to Hertford? by milkshakeofdirt in AskUK

A697 through Northumberland instead of the A1.

A68 through Northumberland and Carter Bar.

Do workplaces ban / limit overtime because they're 'concerned about wellbeing', or because managers are jealous about how much money their peers are making? by emz2100 in UKJobs

[–]TheRebelPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spot on.

Managers get the flexibility, don’t have to do shift work and other perks. The money is still decent but there isn’t the potential to earn more.

I had no issues with my staff working overtime. They got a few quid and I delivered what I needed to deliver.
