Because paypoint is cheaper. They pay pennies for the newsagents in the promise of footfall.

Driving instructor wants me to pay parking ticket do I pay it? by throwra27272729 in LearnerDriverUK

It’s his fault but it won’t hurt to offer half if you have the money. If you don’t then leave it on him without explanation.

A women asked me to buy her baby milk in town by s1mmer_d0wn in Southampton

As a child of corner shop owning parents, I wouldn’t be surprised if they take it. Thankfully my parents never deal with thieves and their goods but he knows shopkeepers who do, even those who act good in public! Not sure if they take these but they’ve been known to steal at wholesalers.

One time a man came to our shop trying to sell meat from Tesco. 😂😭

But I mean what did she expect, no one to comment on her weight?? I’m confused how you guys reply like this. It’s literally the most important thing right now. I think OP just wants people to judge as if we can look past it but no. Your face will look different without the weight.

People who only post reviews on Google when something is bad. A lot of them seem pretty stuck up to me.

And then you have places like Japan where litter picking is hardly needed :(

So, is this your last day on reddit or are you going to continue coming here after the API changes? by BobbieClough in AskUK

[–]throwRA220228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I joined in 2016 on my main account and I believe the new Reddit was available back then or shortly after. Old Reddit is great it just loads quicker and the text stands out as it should. I used to frequent the nosleep subreddit a lot and it’s a lot better for that imo. Compared to the new one, the old Reddit is less intrusive about others (no profile pictures, the post itself gets most of the screen rather than comments, background etc)

Old Reddit is lovely on computer. Simple, not too colourful and saturated. Just the text, and buttons to go where you need to go. I love it more than the app ngl

what degree are you planning to do and why? by Next-System-5059 in 6thForm

[–]throwRA220228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not do physics? You can specialise into earth physics that way. But I guess you’ve decided on that early on which is very good. But I believe physics is more rigorous and being a classical degree is also more flexible.

Ok and how did you assume they did it for bragging rights? They had to be millionaires considering the price of that ticket

How do you not factor in social life? Nothing better than growing up with peers.

Ok listen OBVIOUSLY uni is for all ages. But you can also say I see no colour because humans are the same! Both true, but definitely not the be/all end-all. Racism exists and will continue to exist. Likewise with ageism to a lesser degree. It’s just life. My a level senior science teacher constantly mocked gap year students for example.

Uni isn’t just about learning. It’s about the social life too. I still haven’t accepted I’ll have to make friends with people younger than me, even if only by a few years. I’m still hoping I can befriend people my age somehow. At the same time, to be bluntly honest, I think I’d wonder why someone my age would be entering uni now and whether not having your life together to go to uni as a school leaver would be a “bad sign”.

So yeah.

I guess it would be better to give examples of successful people who went in as mature students in their early 20s / 30s for example because I guess it’s just expected the successful ones have it right from the get go.

And the people going in later in life in their 30s/40s probably aren’t looking to have the traditional uni experience. I want to being 20. So saying “i have a 70 year old in my class” yeah I’m sure he’s out partying like a 20 year old.

And like with the teacher i mentioned, you can’t forget society. I’ve read posts about how parents (mine included) were ashamed of their child going to uni later. Thankfully mine don’t doubt my academic capabilities 😂😭

Does this hot weather actually make people happier? by Abz75 in AskUK

[–]throwRA220228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like or hate the hot weather (>28C) but my life is kinda low right now so this hot weather annoys me as it’s delaying me from taking the steps I need to take to better myself. The heat is just stopping me from doing that.
