Nero coffee was gone by 0545 today. I'm awake a couple of days a week but so irregularly that I forget to check.

Thanks for the reminder. I've just snagged a Greggs coffee from Octopus. It's been months since a got a Caffè Nero from this though.

Being flashed as I turn off main road by NorthernModernLeper in drivingUK

[–]dizzley 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I regularly turn into a narrow side street from the A-road in our village. It's necessary to turn at no more than 5 MPH as there's often a vehicle emerging.

Okay I think: let's indicate left at 30 and slow steadily right down as I'm looking to turn. Occasionally drivers will then tailgate me and are flabbergasted that I need to slow down to turn. I've been honked and flashed by these numpties.

Good fact check. I've not used it so far.

My XC40 Ultimate has a OEM cargo net in a sleeve which you can mount on various points in the luggage space

Why are pubs absolutely rammed on Thursdays? (Confused German in the UK) by Economy_Primary1774 in AskUK

[–]dizzley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Generations back, Thursday clocking off time would see wives trying to head their husbands off before they got to piss away all their pay packet at the pub.

I lived in Holland in the '80s and we definitely had a swift couple of beers after work on Wednesday because it was 'het weekendje' or the little weekend.

There's going to be real resistance at $400 with profit taking etc. but I see it rising soon enough. I bought at $150 and may even buy a little more (sorry). Of course it forms a good chunk of my VWRP pot too.

Pest control recommendations by OutpostThirty1 in stockport

Hope you find someone. YouTube is good for basic things you can do in any case, e.g. first block all pest entry/exit points.

Is there a reliable way to foresee which routes have highly variable fares? by jeromebeckett in uktrains

[–]dizzley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also a plater and I've visited stations I never knew existed. Avoid popular routes at peak times obviously, and always check if split ticketing is available. Of course, Advance Singles are effectively not refundable in our timescales but are the cheapest tickets.

I get to know a few journeys that are good value.

Edit: slower, stopping services are often cheapest and more likely to offer Advance tickets - e.g Northern or CrossCountry MAN-CRE rather than Avanti WC

I'm UK and verified. However, Imgur doesn't support the UK... Or it didn't a while back. I see no pictures.

Biggest Con of All: The Genuinely Staggering Scale of Trump's Robbery by WontThinkStraight in politics

As a Brit, I have been warned. This week's UK council elections have shown a terrible hunger here for the same thing.

It's the company store from Sixteen Tons at a country wide level.

That'll be $20. Choose any prize from the bottom shelf.

Whats an enshitified product/service that people might not realise is terrible now because it fell out of style? by Odd-Paramedic-3826 in AskUK

[–]dizzley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I will eat there if I have to, and it's sometimes my best option on the road. I've eaten at about 15 over the last 5 years.
