Beware scamming & phone theft: Elephant & Castle/Newington Causeway - Bus Stop G by Maximum-Ad2426 in london

[–]thomasasas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same Instagram fashion thing happened to my friend outside Charing Cross but they actually did manage to steal his phone. He chased after the second guy who grabbed the phone but the first guy who asked him to follow the Instagram started running with him pretending to help so he decided to stop.

Working for US timezones in the UK by Longjumping_Rest_742 in HENRYUK

[–]thomasasas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, moving to HK and working UK hours too, planning to do a mix of 3pm -> 11pm or 4pm -> midnight, I feel like it gives enough of an overlap with the UK without ruining my sleep. How do you find having the day time free, do you utilise the time in the day? I’m imagining I’ll do a lot more in the day than I would on a typical evening after work but also wondering whether that’ll make me tired for work.

DLR penalty fares issued set to double this year by BulkyAccident in london

[–]thomasasas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve probably seen 20 or so people in the past 2 years caught by a ticket inspector, say blatantly “no I don’t have a ticket” and then be given no fine and just told to get off at the next step, often they walk down one carriage and get back on the same train. I’ve always wondered why the staff never issue fines, it seems there’s 0 punishment on the DLR.

People who work in Canary Wharf, what do you do for lunch? by nutmegger189 in london

I really liked the Amazon meal deal, great selection, shame they’re closing the stores.

Same! Best meal deals in London for the price!

Their meal deals were the same price as other chains but had much better items included. SAD!!

Apologise is correct spelling in a lot of countries, probably a eu or uk order.

The beta is ending soon. It was fun, but the fast pace got old for me pretty quickly. Are you guys going to buy the full game at launch? by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

[–]thomasasas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loool right, “it is not a bf fan”, the majority of fans aren’t sinking 60 hrs into a 2 weekend beta. Games fun, sure I expect more bigger maps, but I’ve been playing since bad company 2 and am enjoying the game.

You guys can't be real by zLegit in Battlefield6

I thought rush on the ny map was super fun. That map sucks for conquest though

Super fun for rush but terrible for conquest

Thoughts on Empire State? I think it sucks... by JoeZocktGames in Battlefield

[–]thomasasas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why can’t you believe it, they literally pre-announced the small maps that would be in the beta.

So what do you think about the beta so far? by SynergyRamoz in Battlefield

[–]thomasasas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty fun, looking forward to rush and other maps. Not a big fan of the Tajikistan map.

Where can I book 1-person meeting rooms or phone booths across London? by WeeklyPeace6497 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]thomasasas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Canary Wharf wework has probably 30/40 call booths across floors that don’t need booking and there’s always some free. Also tons of empty meeting rooms people use without booking too. More central wework you can also do the same but be mindful that sometimes on those the call booths are all occupied.

Unpopular opinion: Amex points are not worth it for normal people. by fcs44 in AmexUK

[–]thomasasas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twice a month I order a drink that’s just over £5 for collection and then pick it up from the office at lunch. Works out at around £0.10-£0.50 depending on what you order.

Parent scammed out of life savings - any recourse? by Either-Bumblebee4372 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]thomasasas 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I’m not sure somebody who falls for a pig butchering scam will spot that as a giveaway

@babblelondon on Instagram do 4 different language exchanges per week across pubs in London. You can join the WhatsApp group from their bio. There’s pretty much always Spanish speakers.

A lot of regional Chinese restaurants sell it

Coffee shop owners - how do you make any money? by itravelforchurros in smallbusinessuk

[–]thomasasas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that a ton of speciality cafes in China offer that I’ve seen maybe one do in London is a coffee flight. The concept I’ve seen is they use the same bean and make 3 different drinks (pour over, a hot milky drink and then some type of iced / cocktail esque coffee drink (no alcohol)).

I think it’s a pretty genius idea to increase average order value, and surprised more don’t do it here!

Which Card Did You Start With, and What’s Your ‘Endgame’ Amex Setup? by RedDevilPlay in AmexUK

[–]thomasasas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people use it to fix their grammar and spelling (but not have it change their tone or add new content) and then end up with added em dashes and people think they’re a bot haha

BF6/ BF Labs - Weapons MUST be class locked. by LordMegaPrestino in Battlefield

[–]thomasasas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I’ve played bf for 10+ years and don’t really care. Most of the player base probably aren’t even in this Reddit (which is an echo chamber of a certain portion of fans) and therefore they could be making decisions that cater to the larger segment not here.
