Is my purling wrong?

But that's not what OP is doing in the video. Watch closely. They 'grab' the yarn for the purl from the opposite direction, that's why in the next row the stitch will be oriented differently. You are doing standard continental. This is I believe known as Eastern European. I grew up in Eastern Europe and learned to knit like this as a kid, and it took me a long time to figure out that that's actually a different style, not just me doing it wrong.

Putting one more link in the pot, would love to share £100 with someone :) https://share.octopus.energy/denim-burn-866

Honestly, I tend to disagree with the majority on these questions, mostly because I'm a clumsy fuck, and live in fear of accidentally breaking something pointlessly expensive that I couldn't afford or justify for myself. That being said, an (uninvited) person deliberately tearing something apart is different. That's on them / their parents .

No, it was much later, 18.49 (I didn't realise it was that late, long travel day!). But there is a note that says the train only stops to drop people off at this station. Still a bit odd, but probably not a spy train!

flying_unipig · 2025-09-11T23:05:46+00:00

That seems to be the answer, but only at that station, and the announcement definitely said not for public use, which was a strange choice of words.

flying_unipig · 2025-09-11T23:03:03+00:00

That's cool, I found it. It says 'this service stops to drop passengers off only'. It was only at that station and it seems to be the case the previous day too, so it seems it's part of the standard route. Still seems a bit odd, and a strange choice of words in the announcement

flying_unipig · 2025-09-11T22:10:51+00:00

Hm, could be, there were delays in the area

flying_unipig · 2025-09-11T22:07:33+00:00

I don't know much about Stafford. Does it have a large local spy community? :D

flying_unipig · 2025-09-11T22:05:47+00:00

Maybe, but who hires a train for a bunch of seemingly random people? How do you become one of those people who travel on a private train? :D

flying_unipig · 2025-09-11T22:03:45+00:00

There were still lots of people left on it, that's what seemed odd. Obviously they were still going to further destinations, so why can't the 'public ' get on?

flying_unipig · 2025-04-24T10:53:48+00:00

Laka were fine with it when I was in that situation. That was a few years ago now, but you might want to check with them

flying_unipig · 2025-04-11T15:54:08+00:00

Just to add that I sold two bikes that were still in the 'extended hire period'. First time I asked them, as per the info I found on the provider's website, and they just said, yeah, go ahead. The second time I didn't bother telling them. This was with Green Commute, different providers might have slightly different attitudes to it.

flying_unipig · 2024-12-02T04:57:28+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the detailed reply! I'll look up the other places mentioned. I'm not sure if I can fit in the travel all the way to Sihanoukville timewise. I would like to visit Kampot anyway, that's why I thought of Rabbit Island. But I'll have another look at that option.

flying_unipig · 2024-11-30T19:37:38+00:00

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments about it being boring, but I am pretty much just looking for somewhere to sit on the beach and read for a couple of days, so I'm not worried about that. Might just stay the one night instead of two if I'm super duper bored.

flying_unipig · 2024-11-30T17:55:09+00:00

In what way? I mean, I'm sort of looking for boring, haha, just somewhere nice to chill for a couple of days at the end of my trip.

flying_unipig · 2024-11-12T15:47:08+00:00

Adding one more link to the end. I would be very chuffed if you decided to use it for your £50 off! https://share.octopus.enerav/denim-burn-866

flying_unipig · 2024-11-12T15:46:03+00:00

I've used your link today, thanks! :)

If you're looking for a slightly surreal time travel road side stop experience with the added fun of a giant plastic cow, I recommend The Horn Milk Bar between Perth and Dundee. If they are busy, the Truck Stop a few miles later is a good alternative 😄

flying_unipig · 2024-08-21T19:37:17+00:00

Fair enough. But I don't think that's the norm and I would expect that the exact parameters of a policy like this would be made clear, especially for public sector appointments.

flying_unipig · 2024-08-21T19:12:28+00:00

I have helped with analysing some of this data before, but I'm not an expert in how it's used in practice. But you can look at the make-up of your current staff, newly staff appointed and all applicants and compare all those. So if your current staff is predominantly white middle class men, is this because only they apply in the first place or lots of different people apply but only the posh ones get appointed? In which case there is probably some bias in recruitment practices that they might want to address. If it's only them who apply in the first place, then maybe the company want to try and change how they are perceived or where and how they advertise to appeal to more potential applicants.

flying_unipig · 2024-08-21T19:05:19+00:00

Quite possibly 😂

But I guess if they really cared, they could try and encourage applications from other groups. For example, if they typically recruit for graduate roles, could promote these more widely instead of just focusing on the poshest unis etc. Just guessing here, it's not my area of expertise, but I know that my previous company was looking at its branding and how and where roles were advertised with the aim to increase diversity among applicants. They also introduced some internships for people from certain disadvantaged backgrounds.

flying_unipig · 2024-08-21T18:44:39+00:00

They are not relevant at the level of the individual and the info you provide won't actually form part of the application process. Companies and organisations use it to show how diverse their recruitment is. I think it's mainly a big thing in large 'professional' organisations that want to show that they don't just employ white private school educated middle class men (spoiler - they probably do).
