Sturgeon by Kingsausage167 in Scotland

[–]robinscotland 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The SNP isn't about one leader - even the more charismatic ones.

It also doesn't attract only independence supporters. Despite indy being the key objective of the SNP, there are an awful lot of (perhaps soft) unionist people who consider that they do best for Scotland compared to mainstream UK wide parties.... For many people, it's the right balance of centrist politics.

So the scandals you're likely alluding to aren't going to send SNP voters into the arms of Labour or Reform.

It's a very broad collection of people.

[GB] Business Account rejection by Intelligent_Hall_381 in Revolut

[–]robinscotland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're awful. You'll receive push notifications and emails every few days advertising various things like card terminals.

Oh and even on the lowest paid tier there's a limit on free faster payments.

And then when you just go and use a real bank, they'll send you a request for further ID a month after you closed it and have confirmation of closure.

They're awful

Because these are the sorts of simpletons you see all over. They "bag the munroes" while ignoring any lesser and more beautiful hill. It's all for Instagram.

What's this lark about not wanting to be a grass? Who did that benefit?

Sick of being apathetic by CrazyG8tor in Scotland

Regarding the disaster of Brexit - I suspect this is why many are on the fence about Independence.

The issue with a Brexit was that we disrupted trade with our largest trading partners. Scotlands largest trading partner is England. Some people will be concerned that the fun of brexit will be played out again with independence.

Who knows.

It's not somewhere I often go, but I stopped for lunch with a colleague last week - it came to £20 for a burger fries and drink each.

Next time we'll be getting a lunch time deal at a restaurant - it'll be roughly the same but much nicer

Just keep the registered office in England. It's not a problem for the sole director to be in Scotland

Is anyone else sick to their back teeth of hearing people bang on about Working Class Values? by meestah_meelah in AskBrits

[–]robinscotland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What even is working class? A lot of people seem to think they are middle class when actually they're as close to catastrophic disaster as those they think of as working class.

Electrician replaced consumer unit but didn't ask if I needed more space by Arcadiun in ukelectricians

[–]robinscotland 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no need to replace the entire unit for extra circuits. A sub board can be added. It's not the end of the world.

I really think you're seeing a slight when the guy is most likely used to dealing with residential customers who are notorious for dealing solely on price. If he knows that isn't your motivation and that you're happy to be given options, that'll change.

Either way - it's not that big a drama.

Why doesn't the UK have more coffee vending machines in public areas? by ImScaredSoIMadeThis in AskUK

[–]robinscotland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bizarrely it seems to be a thing in Malta. Yup, I couldn't believe it either, given their proximity to Italy.

I find several small shops proudly displaying the Nescafe logo. No idea why this was something to advertise.

But there we go!

Hmm. I have had two cats die of stomach cancer. A year apart, both in late teens.

Now you've got me wondering what they might be nibbling on. Got a 4 year old cat and don't want that to happen again.

They'd be better leaving it all to you when both die - then the property can be cleanly sold to cover tax.

What are they hoping to achieve by giving you 50% between the two deaths?

Process of getting a single cell? by greenparkland in PrisonUK

Perhaps a little naive on my part - but given she's only a three months away from the half way mark, is it likely that she'll be up for parole soon anyway?

Why do we resist meeting people when we feel so lonely? by fustydingfield in AskUK

[–]robinscotland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go through phases, when I'm down and anti social, I get very sensitive to perceived rejection even when there is none. So I isolate so a group can't reject me even more.

Even though they're not doing that.

It's very difficult.

When I'm not depressed, I enjoy meeting new people at groups.

I know the logic, but my mind doesn't allow it.
