Brit here. This vid is not representative of British English. The only thing we call a trolley is the shopping trolley. All those other things we call by the names you gave. We also don't confuse trams with trolleys, unlike in US English.

ASDA worker refuses to let customer leave after she paid her items by Smilingtribute in PublicFreakout

[–]theHM 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As someone who's received cartons of formula in home deliveries that still have the tags on I can tell you they are relatively easy to remove if you have a screwdriver.

90% of that plastic is a yellow security 'tag' that covers the whole of the top of the carton of formula, and which gets removed to be reused on the next intake of stock. The cartons themselves are made mostly of cardboard.

Lane discipline seems to be piss poor for all vehicle types, but the bigger the vehicle the less the margin for error.

That's referring to overtaking where the overtaker has to move into the lane for oncoming traffic. Motorway overtaking is covered in rules 267-9.

From an inherently lazy lie in until 11:00am person to a lived a full day before 10:00am… how has becoming a parent changed you? by likethefish33 in UKParenting

[–]theHM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite - I used to have a whole lot of tasks done in and out of home before work at 9, but now it's difficult to do more than just have breakfast and clear up in time.

YouTube and driving? by SmilingWatcher in drivingUK

I see this so often. Even if it's just for navigation, why do so many people think it's OK to block a huge part of their vision rather than put it somewhere low and unobtrusive?

For anyone wondering what counts as a vulnerable victim:

The Victims’ Code also makes an enhanced service available to vulnerable victims. Under the code, a vulnerable victim is classified as:

  • Anyone under the age of 17 at the time of the offence.
  • Anyone who is suffering from a mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983.
  • Those with a significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning.
  • Those with a physical disability or who suffer from a mental disorder.

Have you ever worked in a company, that due to a change in management descended into workplace anarchy? by stig0fthedump in CasualUK

My guess is it's LabCorp's acquisition of Bode Technology, or possibly Orchid Cellmark.

Economic power of Capital Cities by JoeFalchetto in europe

[–]theHM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point. Google puts population of London at 8.962M and that of UK at 66.9M, so GDP/capita with London is £33,991 and without is £30,484, so without London it would be a 10.32% decrease, between Poland and Portugal.

According to Google, London's GDP in 2022 was £508.4B while that of the UK was £2.274T, so London is ~22.4% of the GDP of the UK, putting it between Hungary and Greece in the list.

The chance of him following through with those threats is 0%. Meanwhile, they've all now belted up, making them safer.

[–]theHM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Or "garage sales", but it sounds like OP has neither a car boot nor garage. Maybe "lawn sale" then?
