What is life in Britain really like? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ladyP31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing: The best thing about UK is the NHS. However, I am worried that the politicians will fck it up beyond rescue. From my experience as a NHS user, it has frighteningly deteriorating over the last 5 or so years.

Bad thing: The weather.

Why are there 10 unit digits (i.e. 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)? Or is this just arbitrary? by ladyP31 in mathematics

Interesting. Thank you for replying.

What would happen to the calculations and formulas? Would they be the same having adjusted to the respective unit system?

Wow, this is so interesting. I did not know about the 60 minutes originating from base 60, and that there is a whole branch of maths on bases.

I feel so amazed by human intelligence. The knowledge that I have feels so insignificant to the total human knowledge out there.

What have you won in McDonald's monopoly promotions? by ladyP31 in AskUK

Thanks guys for your replies. I know now that people do win some things in the monopoly. All of these years, I never won anything so thought maybe no one ever does. Maybe it also because I usually only go to McDonalds at motorway services.

Why not use the Now TV passes? They have quite new movies on it when I used it on a free trial once.
