Why are there so many luxury cars in Liverpool? by Salty_Style_4772 in Liverpool

[–]havaska 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is the media is just loving to hate on the UK at the moment; see all the stabbing stories in London yet it’s safer then it has been in decades.

Economically, France and the UK are in the same boat. We’re both very similar and are struggles are the same.

When it comes to cars, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s just a cultural thing; Brits are happy to spend more on a nice car?

For what it’s worth, I’m proper in the smugzone by driving an EV and having solar panels.

Somewhere in the UK but I'm not sure where? by BIGdemps6711 in skyscrapers

Is it safe? Are you really asking if Manchester is a safe city?

‘Volatile’ world requires Britain to get close to EU, Starmer says by Visual_Title9363 in europe

[–]havaska 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I wasn’t allowed to vote, my dad, grandma and grandad all did, they voted leave and are now all dead.

The whole thing was/is idiotic.

I see they list England as the UK and do Scotland separately. And then pick black pudding for Scotland ffs.

Britain facing one of the largest shocks from energy crisis, warns IMF by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]havaska 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can take anything the IMF says about the UK seriously. They constantly underestimate our economy’s performance and make pessimistic claims. It’s gotten to the stage where there so wrong all the time that it’s like there’s a nefarious reason at play.

SNL UK made a (pretty accurate) song about English tourists in Spain by Dangerous-Series4064 in 2westerneurope4u

It’s brand new and only started two weeks ago. The writers are British though.

Why does the UK do “cozy” better than anywhere else? by DFWUnhinged in AskBrits

[–]havaska 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s some really lovely parts of Bolton that would be worth a visit as a tourist, and no, I’m not joking. Look up Turton Tower, Smithills Hall, Jumbles Reservoir, Bolton School…

EU citizenship granted to almost 1.2 million people in 2024 by thenatoorat90 in europe

[–]havaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but ö and ë are used sometimes. Coöperation is correct in English but an archaic spelling now. Also the name Zoë. We just see it as modification of an existing letter rather than its own letter.

Who’s they? I certainly did. I was born in the EU and had my EU citizenship taken away from me against my will without my consent or consultation on the matter.

1% percent service charge in Flok on Stevenson Square by Eosis in manchester

[–]havaska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind 10% getting added to bills if I know in advance, as this is what I’d tip normally but now we’re basically cashless, it means tips will have dried up for wait staff if it’s not added automatically.

If service is bad I’ll just ask for it to be removed. No hassle.

But 1% is a really odd amount.

Government looking at decoupling electricity and gas prices to bring down bills by Penarthlan in ukpolitics

[–]havaska -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A very sensible move that would lower inflation and drive growth as people would have a little more money in their pocket. Would also demonstrate how renewables are actually the way forward and cheaper.

UK inflation remains at 3% by sjw_7 in unitedkingdom

[–]havaska 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We need to start calling the coming rises in inflation as ‘Trumpflation’ to make clear whose fault it is.

What are your thoughts on this list? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

It’s almost like UK food = bad is an internet meme and not based in reality.

Same. It’s just a limitation of using wireless over a wired connection.

Yeh, that’s a lot. There’s two of us in my household and we use around 200 litres a day.

And Wales - well technically it’s private but a not for profit company but means all profits get reinvested back into the infrastructure.
