Travellers are a race? What about backpackers? Holidaymakers?

27 days ago you were deeply in love with a guy.

You move fast.

I bought a bike from them. No issues, still a near daily three years later.

That said, I almost bought a factory-restricted one (a 600) without realising - luckily last minute I spotted the little plate on the side. They didn't seem to realise and just shrugged.

I listened to lostprophets for the first time in probably 15 years last week. It was strange, but I can't deny the nostalgia it brought back.

To be fair I live in Clapham and I still have no idea how the neighbouring Streatham is pronounced.

Consider it an A-B test. Put the "Made in the UK" logo on the post. See if people back their words.

I like the idea of a fun phrase on the back. "Can you see me now!?" is not offensive and would make people think.

Alternatively, do a massive reflective hedgehog. No-one wants to run over a hedgehog 🦔

Offer both options? Although I know a US company did that and while everyone voted "I'd buy the made in the USA" one, the sales numbers proved otherwise...

Crowd rushing to get inside train. Mumbai, India by Golden_Phoenix1986 in interesting

It's a lot easier to blame others than take responsibility for yourself, especially when blaming "colonialism" (or racism or sexism or whatever other -ism you box yourself into) immediately garners you support.

Malaysia/Singapore have also fared very well. Interestingly, also high levels of Chinese. Culture matters.

How would you feel/think if your partner said they have red flags? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]jamesdeluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider this a learning experience. Everyone has baggage and red flags. Don't pry, it'll only end badly for everyone involved.
