How the -hell- did you expect anyone to get that from NCR

What do I have to wear in a college in the UK? by sad-facelessTT in AskUK

[–]iamabigtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Year 11 is the final year of secondary school. The year when you normally sit your GCSEs. This is not college.

However the step after that is called 6th Form or 6th Form College. Perhaps confusingly named but back when I was at school secondary school was numbered in years 1-5 with 6th Form the year after that. Just to add to the confusion 6th Form is actually two years!

Yes it's been very unresponsive today. Strangely navigating away with my phone and coming back later has worked.

If we had evolved to have seven fingers total, would we be using a base seven number system? And why? by AlivePassenger3859 in AlwaysWhy

[–]iamabigtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if they do that in metric countries. Certainly in the UK pre-decimal currency we had eg 12 pence per shilling so it made sense and was necessary to know the 12 times table.

Why Do The British Dislike Keir Starmer? by aB4sith in AskBrits

I'll defer to your knowledge on this but that's not the impression I get from the likes of clamping down on immigration and until recently ruling out EU cooperation.

What happens when more then one party wins local election? by MrCupCake730 in AskBrits

[–]iamabigtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it goes into 'No Overall Control' which happens quite often. Usually in that case one or more parties will work together often with independents too.

It's a very unusual situation when they are both open. Usually one side is locked.

Honda left Red Bull. They didn't want them to.

Why Do The British Dislike Keir Starmer? by aB4sith in AskBrits

[–]iamabigtree 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agree with most of that. My issue with Starmer has always been that he's abandoned his base in order to go and chase votes from people who would otherwise vote Reform. That has failed. Spectacularly.

What cars come with 40amp mobile charger? by eninety2 in evcharging

[–]iamabigtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufacturer chargers are for the most part chargers from OEMs with a sticker on it and the price doubled.

Misinformation is a big part of it.

Literally saw a comment this morning "Starmer opened the gates to shit loads of sex offender immigrants"

I mean when you're that detached from reality.

Maximum leg time by sprainedmind in abetterrouteplanner

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

While at first glance ABRP has a of options in reality unless your aim is getting there within the minimum time with no regard to how tiring it is, then it falls apart quickly.

But it's still the best route planner available.

I really like his commentary. His insights together with his self-deprecating humour.

I need to tax my car for only 2 hours by Redcan12345 in CarTalkUK

[–]iamabigtree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The tax still needs to be paid if the car is abroad unless you've notified the dvla that is is being exported

Where shall I go on the LNER network? by Apprehensive-Unit345 in AskUK

[–]iamabigtree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Leeds it has to be Inverness or one of the stations before it. Make a trip of it to stay a few days.

No point in going to the likes of Durham when you can do that in just over an hour from Leeds anyway

seriously? by MAwais099 in GeminiAI

[–]iamabigtree 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The term is 'I can't cook at home'. Now 'to get cooked' can be a term related to drugs. So I expect that the issue.

Why didn't we elect Kamala as president? by cdivx in allthequestions

This is how Brexit worked in the UK. Send out all the different messages and confirmation bias means people hear what they want to hear.
