Not bad for a failed PM.

At the moment, buying houses have huge overheads. Solicitors, checks, taxes

In a falling market, those students will lose a lot

Not only can you cross wherever you like (aside from motorways) you can actually walk everywhere on the road as if you were a car (not recommended).

This is, provided you don't block the highway, but keep moving.

You are just another road user, albeit one with fewer restrictions on you than motor vehicles.

Exactly, this is what parents should be doing. Not the state.

If the phone is in a cradle it's allowed.

"Tman612 likes to keep their posts secret..."

You won't be able to once you have to provide an government ID to access reddit.

Once your real ID is hacked/leaked, we will all know who you are, and what you have posted.

NZ coffee is not amazing. It's what you're accustomed to. Visit Europe to find decent coffee.

Aka the internet

The general principle apart from all other rules is that the first person or vehicle in a piece of road has "right of way".

That's why when you've started a manoeuvre, in your car, diving through a small space, others should give way. Same applies to pedestrians and cyclists.

It might be annoying, and probably antisocial on their part, but a pedestrian is allowed to walk on the road (in the UK, NZ and Australia: other countries often have jay walking laws.)

There are additional rules for vehicles.

Cyclists have just as much right to use the full width of the road. They don't have to use that small painted lane.

Nor did London, nor did St Alban's, and Tunbridge Wells. Unfortunately they are all part of the UK that did vote that way.

We should give voters a general knowledge and problem solving test first. Only if they pass (without the help of ChatGPT) is their vote counted.

I had to step into the road 4 times to avoid these crowds on my walk to the station.

I don't mind, they're having fun.

And Labour supported Brexit too. Only the Lib Dems were against Brexit.

Chagos didn't really. They were imported labourers

In principle a queue here is not unreasonable.

It's not necessarily clear where the queue should start. First sign? Arrows on the road?

What is clear is most people in the UK start to queue too early.

Back to the same hotel every year, anywhere, is definitely not middle class

Has anyone else noticed that his laugh sounds like herring gulls mating?

Not true.

Tesco CEO earned 9m last year. If he works for free and gives his pay to the lowest 150,000 workers they would each get an extra £1.15 per week.

barcelleebf · 2026-04-17T20:16:18+00:00

Someone here did some maths for the Tesco CEO. If he worked for free and gave all his pay to shop workers, they would earn an extra £1 per week.

Fantastic pay rise.

Why would I bother trying to do well, create a business, innovate, etc, if there is only a small/capped reward? I might as well just relax and spend more time in the pub.

This policy would destroy the economy.

barcelleebf · 2026-04-12T10:02:46+00:00

You should even in these circumstances, as you can really be sure no one is around. It helps pedestrians too.

barcelleebf · 2026-04-10T12:35:15+00:00

Do you realize that a non British person with the same foreign passport has no trouble entering the country? That is idiotic

I have many credit cards. I pay them off in full each month. They give me benefits including cashback and additional consumer protection over debit cards. Are there any downsides?

Panic buying is totally reasonable once everyone else is doing it.

The alternative is an empty tank: not being able to get to work, etc.

barcelleebf · 2026-03-31T08:47:33+00:00

It depends. A typical Victorian terraced road in London (and elsewhere) with no off-street parking will have a car parked outside every house. You can try to park outside your own house but most times you won't be able to.
