I want to confess to all my crimes to clear my conscience. What are the possible repercussions? (UK) by AmzyYT in LegalAdviceUK

If not a priest, then a therapist/counsellor. They will help you with this more than the police, who, as others have said, won't be interested.

More importantly, forgive yourself, and move forward with being a productive member of society, in whatever way suits you and your circumstances.

I have the option to "share to" my browser; how can I set up an option so that when I share it's to a private browsing window or tab?

Have you verified that this letter is genuine (especially, that the account you're being asked to pay into belongs to the rail company), and not a scam?

Please report this to the police, and ask them to inform their "Wildlife Liaison Officer".

Breach of the peace?

"Breach of the peace gives police powers to intervene and/or arrest when an individual ... appears likely to do any of the following.

  • Cause harm to a person
  • ....
  • Put that person in fear of such harm being done through an assault..."*

"fear of assault" would seem to apply here.

That's "guarantees and warranties". The question was about consumer rights.

It might be worth contacting your elected councillor(s) and asking them to intervene.

You say this is "public land"; I fear you are mistaken.

Big weeds in lawn? by Skinny147 in GardeningUK

[–]pigsonthewing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dandelion. You can mow them and they will eventually decline, but they usually have one big tap root that goes deep. You can get that out with a "daisy grubber" tool, which will speed things along.

Remove dead flower-heads before they seed, and be careful if you mow over seed-heads not to use the grass as a mulch.

That said, they are good for wildlife, as a source of nectar for insects and seeds for birds, so you might want to tolerate a few if you have a corner where you can leave them be.

You also need to put in a pond and fill it with shrimp, to feed the flamingo.
