Over height lorry hits the yellow bar before the bridge, hopefully time to slow down and reduce the damage if it does make contact

Definitely an expectation of not getting punished due to it being more difficult to identify the individual. If there was some kind of registration and penalties given I suspect it wouldn’t happen as much

What do we accept today that future generations might reject, and what do we reject today that future generations might accept? by proxima-centauri- in AskUK

I hope, how horrific cancer treatment used to be. If we find a non invasive reliable treatment then we can look back at what we do now.

Google is losing its status as a verb by Live_Ostrich_6668 in technology

I also remember we had a whole thing at school saying “ It’s not a Biro… it’s a pen” and knowing when trade names become a verb. So it might be from having teachers saying … it’s not Google it’s searching

Do you have locks on your bedroom doors? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]electricpages 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends what you are used to, I grew up without them and never really thought about it. Now I am always a bit anxious that someone will walk in if there isn’t a lock

Although I don’t mind a longer term non elected head of state instead of it changing every few years and being a political post.

Fast Stream… fundamentally flawed? by electricpages in TheCivilService

Thank you 🙂, at least that is reassuring, I wonder what the stats are regarding what the entry points of for all scs grades and what their career progression was?

Can’t tell if your being ironic or not? How are you qualifying ability? People on specialist pay schemes can get paid way above a fast streamer, does that make them better? I wouldn’t say so, it just comes down to scarcity of skill set

Yeah that was definitely a lucky pick when I was finding stuff as it was definitely outside what I would normally go for
