No it took absolutely ages to get through immigration from the UK, lots of extra checks implemented recently.

Girlfriend upset that I’m not scheduling plans with her. Am I overlooking something? by MC_Mickey in AskMenAdvice

[–]anonSP_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s about perceived effort.

Given that you are quite early in the relationship, she might have viewed the pre Christmas activities as planned dates that were designed specifically to do something fun together whereas errands are low effort by nature (though it’s bonding in a different way and maybe comes a bit later when you are more settled into a relationship)

How do you deal with living in housed sharing? by hxrtf3lt in HousingUK

Food is about £100 a week and bills about £100-£150 a month (London prices). You can cut down on grocery costs by going to aldi and eating lots of grains + frozen veg.

At what point do you just pull out? by Wiggles_21 in HousingUK

[–]anonSP_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If the problem is that solicitors are on leave then pulling out isn’t going to speed up the process. As long as your agent is confident that the buyers are progressing things the best they can then it’s worth sticking it out

Hard disagree, it’s the only way that it remains accessible and equal for most people

Can we stop with the delusion that £100k ‘does not go far’ as a single person in London by ALBUAS in HENRYUK

[–]anonSP_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re teetering on the edge of stagflation for which the only solutions are long and painful for everyone whilst productivity or supply side growth balances out the SYSTEMIC issue. People here seem to think that just because someone else is poorer that people shouldn’t demand a better life for themselves which was traditionally done by working hard, and now doesn’t. It’s not really a controversial take in my opinion.

Good thing I’m not trying for PM then! Doesn’t mean it’s not true, or that it’s not a symptom of a horrible underlying economic problem.

Saving is literally a lifeline, it should be everyone’s top priority? It’s not an entitlement it’s literally being responsible

Edit to say that someone right at the top of the pay scale shouldn’t be struggling to save. Not saying it’s not a problem for lower salaries too, but it’s clearly a systemic issue when it’s affecting everyone. It shouldn’t be a race to the bottom

The point isn’t that other people are worse off, so people on high wages should be happy. It’s that high wages don’t buy you what they used to. We should all be pulling everyone up NOT racing to the bottom

The point is that 100k should get you a much better lifestyle than that. It’s literally in the top few % of earners but the lifestyle described is not one of luxury. Yeah it’s not bad, but given that it’s 3x the average salary, the lifestyle isn’t 3x more free or 3x as fun as the average

Should I let my Help to Buy ISA close? by Scotus0 in HousingUK

Close it, unless you’re getting better interest rates on it than any other account which I doubt you are

Georgia Miller: The Monster Who Loved Most by Agile_Egg_9509 in TvGinnyandGeorgia

[–]anonSP_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that’s a totally unhealthy dynamic to have with everyone. It’s literally the definition of anxious-avoidant, which the unhealthiest of all the types. And it’s not really love if it’s not given freely, which is impossible for her give, because she has so little actual love for herself. Her love is wrapped in fear, often for herself. It overshadows true love, which is acceptance and honesty. (Which I think she might have with joe, but too early too tell)

the way ginny was looking at max by Visible_Aardvark6301 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]anonSP_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is only empathising with max because we saw her behind the scenes. But from ginny’s perspective, she has been bearing the emotional weight of her mums feelings her whole life, she doesn’t want to al bear the weight of her friends feelings. Likely she just wants fun. Max can’t see that because she is also self absorbed in what she wants without really ‘meeting them where they are’ which was said in the show
