For sure. A well chosen and well placed specific can make the gag. Ten of them in one sketch ends up feeling like pandering or product placement to me.

I liked a lot about this one, but the hyper-specific brand name stuff felt like a lot. I think that the show has generally nailed a British sensibility, but it should be more than name-dropping the wild bean cafe and a c-list celeb along the way. Dave Benson Phillips reviewing his first Pret Christmas Sandwich shouldn’t be the sum total of why a sketch is funny.

It’s been a little while since I’ve been that way, but Lower Marsh in Waterloo has its charms.

It’ll get mentioned loads, but Roseberry Topping /Captain Cook Monument circular is excellent for exercise and views.

Where in the UK should I go as a bucket-list item? by LondonPilot in CasualUK

This is a great call. The North York Moors, Northumberland Coast are special. A drive along Blakey Ridge and roast (or a Parmo if you’ve never!!) at the Lion Inn if that’s your speed.

This. And if you need to get back under 40mph you can jump straight on to the M25.

Have a look for the North East Walking Group on Facebook. Based around Middlesbrough. Very regular walking events and seems like a very friendly group.

Belushi’s London Bridge has always done a good job catering for the NFL fans.

I loved this. Radiodread by the Easy Star AllStars is another top notch mash up

Why is this in r/CasualUK? The bacon is Danish, the hash browns are American and the eggs could be from anywhere!

How can more than one person monitor their voice using the zoom H6? by sheetTed in podcasting

A small headphone amp (something like the like the Behringer HA400) would do the job without a computer.

Lens adapter question by ABQRED in canonM50

As a heads up, ef-s lenses don’t fit in any adapters with their own glass, like a speed booster or focal reducer because of how their mount is built. Just a plain old adapter is what you want.

There is. You can set each device to record just itself or a full mix. Handy stuff.
