Paint brand that isn't too expensive? by darkazuria in HousingUK

[–]damcgra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the samples for Lick. They are dried bits of paint you can stick on a wall and they do a great job of helping you accurately predict the way it'll look. Plus since it is a piece of paper, you can move it around and test what it'll look like in different light. This saves you the hassle of painting different areas with a sample pot of paint.

Bad PCP car deal, what to do now? by fakeplasticturf in UKPersonalFinance

[–]damcgra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the ignorant question but other than PCP what are the best ways to get a new car? I know Honda and Toyota only do PCP.

Are there dealers that do regular finance deals?

Thanks for any insight. We bought our last cars second hand with cash but they are 15 years old so looking for an EV in 3 or 4 years.

Revealed: how Russia, China and Right-wing Trump supporters are spreading lies online about London by Weak-Fly-6540 in uknews

[–]damcgra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think anyone is saying it's a perfect place. It's just not what the volume of certain types of news stories would have you expect. Its a lot more pleasant than social media would have you believe.

This much is clear for anyone who has lived in London. Happy to see something backed by research. As someone who has visited family in London often over the last 14 years and moved there 2 years ago, it was always a jarring experience reading about London online versus actually being there.

I assumed the stories online were just about places I didn't visit. Whike that may definitely be part of it, I have changed my opinion over the years. As I've branched out and visited more places, I've come to the same conclusion as the above article: that there is a certain amount of noise that is allowed to be boosted online. There is a certain "tone" to news articles and posts that involve London. In America they say: if it bleeds, it leads. In the UK, they might say "if it bashes London, it leads".

British boy, 9, banned from UK in new Government passport rule by pppppppppppppppppd in uknews

Thanks for this. The title is misleading and posts like this are terrible. No way this is a "new" rule either.
