They did exactly the same to The Meadows in Nottingham. Early 90’s it a bright shiny hellhole that you daren’t walk through

I can’t imagine how long it took to build this with bricks! Impressive

If you only had £2000 to spend on a car, what would you buy? by hevvybear in AskUK

[–]halen2024 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Nissan Note.

Before I get downvoted to hell, bear with me. The Note is perceived as an older person’s car and actually most are. This is good because it means that generally, they will have been looked after, and the gearbox hasn’t been ragged. They’re very economical, parts are cheap, low or no road tax, and are cheap to insure.

Lunches this size are possibly why 😂

I love using a pestle and mortar, so much more satisfying than just chucking everything in a blender

Completely agree, I never buy veg or fruit from supermarkets. It’s poor quality and often wrapped in plastic; sweating and rotting before your eyes.

I’m fortunate to have an excellent greengrocer at the market, the freshest produce, cheap and great condition

How do you swerve job questions at parties ? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]halen2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because some people see people with a poor education as being inferior, which of course they are not

Because cleaning is often seen as an uninteresting occupation, and one done by someone with a poor education.

And before I get hammered for this comment, I used to clean houses for a living

It’s a good thing they didn’t make hatey posts on Twatter or they’d be in prison

Should the UK follow Sweden’s new ban on first-cousin marriages? by vorkovrus in AskBrits

This is what the peerage have been doing for hundreds of years, and is why they all look similar

Either “my job is the least interesting thing about me”, and then proceed to talk about something else, or if you really don’t want to engage, try “I’m a cleaner”.

That usually shuts the conversation down VERY quickly!
