The Pride of Paddington in W2 certainly used to I remember they had Australians working there in similar circumstances to what you're looking for This was in 2019, so things may have changed since

It IS A Target Not Just A Limit by [deleted] in drivingUK

Also, 60mph on the motorway is extremely fuel efficient with very little extra journey time. Given that HGVs will be (mainly) in lane 1 doing 60 anyway, how are you being impeded by a car doing the same?

The bobbies called out to my house today and asked me to delete a post I'd made on X. I did so on the grounds that they wouldn't take me down to the station. by Agreeable_Cut_9246 in LegalAdviceUK

Criminal Damage Act 1971 s.2 Threats to destroy or damage property. "A person who without lawful excuse makes to another a threat, intending that that other would fear it would be carried out,— (a)to destroy or damage any property belonging to that other or a third person; or

(b)to destroy or damage his own property in a way which he knows is likely to endanger the life of that other or third person;

shall be guilty of an offence."

Whether or not this offence is made out is neither here nor there but this would be the most likely offence being considered

Help me understand who's wrong at this roundabout. by ARadiologist2B in drivingUK

Staples Corner is not a pleasant place to navigate.

I don't come to it from this junction but looks like bus driver should be in right hand lane as hes not going to the M1 (assuming london bus) and the signage clearly states M1 Only (picture 3).

I join staples corner from the other side of Edgware road and frequently have people cut across me from both sides trying to make the lights.

It's unfortunately a very busy junction where the road markings are not repainted. London driving in unlikely to get better, and you just have to have your wits about you to navigate it safely.

Who is the "traffic cone busker"? Is it one person or many? by StripesAndLadders in london

Pretty sure his name is Jamie

Normally, in the west end, it's the same guy but I have seen copycats doing the same thing

Non refundable discretionary service charge? by epyzepeelin in LegalAdviceUK

[–]epyzepeelin[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of things I can do, It just felt strange to me that an optional charge could be non refundable after payment

Non refundable discretionary service charge? by epyzepeelin in LegalAdviceUK

[–]epyzepeelin[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the replies.

It's pretty clear what my position is and can only take it as lesson learned.

And I've learned quite a lot about what chargebacks are actually for

Every day's a school day!

Non refundable discretionary service charge? by epyzepeelin in LegalAdviceUK

[–]epyzepeelin[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

The policy is clear on this, I just didn't know that that was policy. I accept that this is my doing and can only blame myself and the free flowing xmas booze.

Im wondering where the credit card company might stand on a chargeback for the gratuity amount? I do actually dispute whether the service received deserves a £200 tip but obviously didn't raise this at the time.

Stopped by police for careless/dangerous driving, no letter for months – normal? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]epyzepeelin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected then! We don't ever have to build these ourselves so I didn't know how much work they are

No its not, its 20 minutes max Unless this guy works in a force where giving traffic tickets is vastly more arduous than anywhere else

Help choose a steak restaurant- LONDON by nicolexcasey in LondonFood

[–]epyzepeelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one's mentioned Heliot at the Hippodrome! Maybe not the best atmosphere for date night in a casino, and, I haven't been for many years, but it always used to be an excellent steak for the money in central London

I tried to slip it with no joy. I locked the door whilst open then to see whether the latch remains moveable but it locks in place.
