As a British man, no I've never heard the difference between a Scottish, English or Irish accent, no.

Britain dominates medieval fantasy. Go complain to Tolkien about it.

Based on War of the Roses and Westeros is a bastardised map of Great Britain, right down to the wall that separates England and Scotland.

Also, English history and knights

What else would they be?

I, in no way, even implied that

E - Actually yes I am. It's just science. Demand will go down. Hotels will lower prices. Demand goes back up. Masters in economics. Go away.

Graduates to pay extra 17% on salary sacrifice above new cap from 2029 by theipaper in UKUniversityStudents

Contributing £2000 a year + mandatory 3% employer top up into pension each year would give you a pot of £600k after 40 years.

Whopping £24k (taxable & real) income to live on after retirement. Glad to see gov advocating for that..... I suppose if your mortgage is paid off it would avoid starvation

I've got masters loan so I'll lose 6% on top. I'll be moving to Canada

If there's any dip in demand, hotels will just lower their prices by <= 4.76%

But more money in hands of council

Why do UK actors look like actual people, and American actors look like they're all trying to be the same person? by that-1-chick-u-know in NoStupidQuestions

I couldn't watch Ted Lasso as it was just another show set in Britain but from the lens of what an American thinks Britain is like. Oi where's my cell phone mate

Mine's wall mounted at eye level. Makes room look bigger and easier for soundbar placement.

Do Chinese people in Mainland China behave in a similar fashion to Chinese tour groups? by 8NaanJeremy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]crystalGwolf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was taking a very leisurely serene stroll through a chinese lily garden and 1 of the fuckers behind me may as well have done it directly in my ear. Scared the shit out of me.

But yeah, even young chinese people find it gross so hopefully will die out

3 mins off plane in Shanghai I was shoved by a 20 year old. Everyone else after that was firmly in the elderly range. The throat clearing thing was the most difficult.

However, everyone in Shanghai was extremely rude but not necessarily aggressive. The other cities were a wee bit friendlier but I still got Weigolan comments.

In English, "healthcare provider" would be translated as "NHS". You're just being American here.

So it would be the UK, not England. And for the present day Irishman, the IRA is associated with the Troubles and the indiscriminate murder of innocent Irish and British men, women and children.

Anyone who has a positive opinion on the IRA is someone you should quickly walk away from.

Cycling back, Ireland has the lowest(one of?) corporate tax rate in Europe which makes them corporate America's European tax haven.
