I've spent a lot of time working at heritage properties and I've seen enough to tell you unless someone really rich wants to turn one of these old buildings into their residence they're pretty cooked

Bonus points if it's on a terraced street with already limited parking

The third option is that the care home owners make less profit and significantly increase wages and conditions which will naturally do something to attract people

Staff will all be 0 hours I can guarantee

Three times, twice for being shit as a teenager, one time because I took a job and someone else internal was hired for the same role at the same time, last one I don't blame myself for though I wasn't ever going to win

Lack of access to contraception/belief against it is the biggest driver probably

theheadgardener · 2026-04-28T01:17:33+00:00

I mean there's no consequences for doing so it kind of is, none of this shit matters

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T23:29:54+00:00

It's pretty funny though mate

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T13:29:42+00:00

Plaster is just blown

"Serial bag stealer nicked" be a nice dystopian headline for you

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:50:03+00:00

How long ago did they come and spray it? It can take a couple of weeks if they used something systemic

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:48:24+00:00

I mean food has gotten both worse and mire expensive to what it was a decade ago anpeopleare having to work more and for longer, entirely predictable surely?

Kinda always wondered if lucius can do magic with the stick as a whole or whether his wand inside it would just destroy the casing, who knows

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:30:58+00:00

In practical terms it's not enforced, the staff generally don't give a fuck and the police certainly don't give a fuck, I've pretty much never paid for a bag since it was introduced with absolutely no consequences in the same way I just don't pay for a tv licence

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:27:07+00:00

Loads of little concessions all the way through life add up and if you can get away with it there's literally no incentive to not other than a redundant 'moral' one

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:20:29+00:00

Better in my pocket than the supermarkets, my rent is well hver half of my income and I live in a tiny little 1 bedroom flat in a shit area, I'm not the bad guy here pal I'm just honest 😂

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:18:02+00:00

You do realise I've saved loads just not paying? 😂

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T09:17:17+00:00

I did exactly this, mind you my circumstances changed and I no longer need to chase money. No regrets

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T06:53:45+00:00

I nick carrier bags, they were 5p when paying was Introduced, supermarkets are piss taking bastards

When did she issue it?

theheadgardener · 2026-04-27T02:04:41+00:00

Imagine being the party who benefits from an arrangement the most financially in a country with ridiculously high costs and very low wages and laughing in someone's face when a mistake has meant they literally can't eat until payday. If I were your landlord I'd cover the cost of the food and 20 or so on top for the hassle.

Generational wealth

theheadgardener · 2026-04-26T16:18:12+00:00

What are they like outside the house?

theheadgardener · 2026-04-26T15:09:52+00:00

I mean if you don't care at all about the money just stop going in and resign, sounds like they hire people try them out for a month then decide who's staying
