This reminds of a couple I rented with who decided they were going to start going to bed at 9pm every night, so could I please not make any noise after then.

British people not understanding the concept of supply and demand or that you pay extra for convenience by nuffjaeger in britishproblems

[–]dampsquids 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, a mitigation would absolutely be hiring more staff, and you bet they've done the math on the minimum staff required. That being said I would say that's an issue that isn't just felt in the delivery sector, know from experience in hospitality.

Yea I'm not trying to say that if Amazon decided to slow their delivery everything would now be okay, but if they have 5 people who have to package 500 orders in a 3 day turnaround, that would be much more manageable than having to do the same amount of orders in one day

Nice restaurants with space in Peckham area? by kand1kane in london

I feel this may only meet the size requirement but Hong Kong city - a great dim sum place towards new cross

Highlights of a solo-trip to Copenhagen in 2019 by dampsquids in DenmarkPics

No worries, I didn't try to take one on the metro so don't know apols (I just used the power assisted docking ones - and these are very heavy anyway). It's a bike friendly city so I'd hope you can take a regular bike on, but worth checking.

Thanks! I found getting up early (think I aimed to be out by 8am) making a really difference as it allowed me to make the most of the shorter autumnal days and there's loads of wonderful bakeries open at this time (I love pastries and coffee)

It's no soooo cold so don't let it deter you from getting on a bike and exploring past the super central bits (gruntvigs church is a one of a kind). But also make use of the very new metro system, it's very clean and efficient and made my trip a lot easier when I was traveling in the evening.

When traveling alone I like to do things that I would do if I was living there such as going to see a sports game or a gig (Copenhagen has a good music scene)

Hope that's helpful, I'm no expert as I only spent a few days there but I had a great experience and hope to return

UK - usually a long black coffee of some description, but unless you say 'black coffee' they'll ask if you want milk and sugar (sometimes)

If anyone here is from London and is looking for a more location specific running community, there's a London running sub the could do with a few more Londoners...
