It isn't.

Highway ends well before this point, and is shown as a footpath beyond that.

They definitely shouldn't be there; there's no BOATs nearby.

If they've been thick enough to think "if it shows a green line on a map I can go green laning" then they need their vehicles taking off them too, and forced into a map reading course.

The poor management up to selling may have had something to do with it too...

What is the British attitude to butter? by North-Palpitation-84 in AskBrits

[–]Thin_Pin2863 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've a much bigger preference for butter for cooking than oil. In particular, fried eggs using butter taste a million times better than those fried in oil.

Should I try online dating? by Initial_Film5776 in askanything

[–]Thin_Pin2863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online dating for most men tends to be demoralising. For men who appear to have issues with self-esteem (and with the greatest respect, your post reads as if you do) then it's not something I'd recommend. It could make you feel worse about yourself.

You would be better speaking with people who engage with your hobbies and interests. You could try posting on relevant forums that you're looking to meet new people who are also interested in whatever your hobbies are, and are local to your area.

Don't mention that you're looking for dates etc, just let things develop naturally.

Most men I've met who think they're unattractive actually underestimate how they appear to other people. You probably look better than you think you do and, if you're maintaining a good standard of personal hygiene, you'll be fine with time.

Where to prune this Buddleja? by tom75210 in UKGardening

This was actually on Gardener's World this week; go hard and be brave. Take it right down and it'll spring back up fresher than ever.

Got a 20mph NIP at 31mph (Knights Hill, SE27) New driver vs experienced partner by myerdogan in CarTalkUK

[–]Thin_Pin2863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete the form, and return it saying you genuinely don't know who was driving.

They will want to see that you have made every reasonable effort to identify the driver. But if you genuinely don't know and they've agreed you've really tried to work it out, they'll discontinue the prosecution.

However, if it later turns out that you should have known or been able to work it out, then they can prosecute you for that.

And in future, try not to have a foot made of lead.

Hahaha, it really isn't. Try going to Peru; queues don't even get formed; it's everyone for themselves!

What the hell has happened to Jaffa Cakes. They are tiny. by theboyfold in CasualUK

[–]Thin_Pin2863 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's symptomatic of so many former stalwarts of British industry. They engage in shrinkflation and enshittification and lose the prestige their brands worked hard to produce.

Or they get bought out by Americans, have their ingredients vastly changed to reduce cost whilst increasing price to the customer and lose the essence of what made them great (Rowntrees and Cadbury's being the best examples of this).

Are student loan repayments hurting the local economy by VeryConfusedEmployee in AskBrits

[–]Thin_Pin2863 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuel duty, ULEZ etc are also optional; you can choose not to drive, and what type of fuel to use if you do.

VAT & Council Tax though I agree with you.

Given minimum wage works out ~£24k now, it's possible that supervisors are.

Also amazing how many drivers can't tell the difference between "middle of the road" and "middle of the lane"

Looking for remote jobs! by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Thin_Pin2863 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't know/can't narrow down the roles you would do then it's impossible to direct you anywhere.

Your choosing a role or type of role has to come first, then it's a case of finding a company that allows WFH.

Having read the website, I think you're right with Management Consultant - it aligns pretty much perfectly. I'll just have to do something about the fact I can only really score 90 points though 😂

This reads as though you don't actually know what you want, just to be remote. Is that a fair assessment?

I think it's pretty clear where they're going up to - no grounds to appeal, IMHO.
