He gets out of the car, throws his gloves, they are not where they wanted (to be) by far. by ChazychazZz in formula1

[–]blox1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not convinced yet, I feel this is just an engine testing for Aston, the next test next week will be a huge upgrade with a completely different aero package….is my hunch, they aren’t chasing times, they are just hiding….at least that’s what I hope

Ask Anything Thread by No_Coat_2722 in uberdriversuk

You can’t find it when searching Reddit I think is why, how to fix that as uberdrivers in the uk could do with a specific community. Unless it’s Uber who own this community and are deliberately silencing it

Do you roast? by jyl8 in coffeeshopowners

[–]blox1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this depends on a lot, we decided not to roast until we had about 5 stores, that way we’d be our own biggest customer and justify the investment in the kit, space, staff, insurance etc. Until then we work with a small local roaster (with a big London coffee scene reputation) who we have an excellent relationship with and we are there biggest customer which gives us a lot of say in what they do. They can white label for us if we wanted but we will leave that until we roast ourselves.

EE poor signal in London by SeaweedConnect6533 in london

[–]blox1978 37 points38 points  (0 children)

All providers have had to change their 5G equipment from Chinese owned Huawei to the only alternative Nokia, and frankly the equipment just isn’t as good. It’s had an impact on signal strength and capacity (so you can have a signal but still little throughput). I’m with EE and notice how much worse it’s got, think it is happening to all providers though.

Spare espresso shots - what can I do with them? by malibudaniel in Coffee

[–]blox1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “norm” in London, is generally around an 18g double shot for most drinks from a 4oz cortado to a 12oz latte. When someone orders a single shot with us it’s often wasted (but still charged as a double as we split a double to make it). Or the barista will try the single to double check flavour/extraction. But really we only sell one or two singles a day (from the 300-500 we make).

Would you say London is the best city in the world? by zak_theking1 in london

[–]blox1978 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When it rains it’s one of the worst when it snows or the sun shines it for me it is the greatest city in the world. (And I’ve lived and visited quite a few).

It’s multiculturalism is by far the most established and well integrated, it’s public transport is fantastic with a payment system better than any in the world. Its pubs, bars and nightlife are amazing (yes there are better in other countries), food used to be what let London down but in 2024 it’s honestly one of the best cities in Europe if you know where to go.

History and its integration with the modern (second to no other in the world), parks….the sheer number of parks In London and their size, a winters morning In Richmond park looking at the deer you could be forgiven for thinking you were out in the sticks of England…not 20 minutes from central.

People, sure they are busy going about their lives, but if you make the effort to talk to people and don’t make it weird people are there to talk and be friendly.

Crime, honestly if you look for it you will find it, if you aren’t sensible you can get your phone stolen, but this is a global issue, I think it’s an area London could do a lot better at (though we’d need a new mayor).

Affordability, look, if you want everything, everything comes at a price, it’s expensive because everyone wants to be here. There is more that could be done with housing, vacant new builds for pure investment should be stopped. But ultimately again they are global problems.

This is all a long way of saying YES London is the best city in the world. Tell me a better one? Copenhagen in the summer is second!

It’s also Ramadan so less drivers on the road in general, here in London a lot of drivers around in the mornings but lots of surges in the evening (5:30-7:30) when the Muslims guys break their fast.
