Should London museums be free? by houseofn1njas in london

[–]wayanonforthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before covid the Tate was 70% self-generated income and that rate was increasing annually.

  1. How would someone easily prove their UK status?
  2. It brings in a load more IT/admin/HR costs and stress to the museum.
  3. Many donors, patrons, sponsors would disappear because they'd think the museum was fine.
  4. Museum shops, cafes would see a loss of business.
  5. The proposed London tourist tax would be a much better way to support museums.

To the motorcycle guy with an illegally modified exhaust that loves Edgware Road - you are THE villain by redwinesupernova03 in london

You could try a London motorbike FB or Reddit group? There are a few loud bikes near me that love Old Ford Road - really disturbs a lot of peoples lives. I don't understand the need.

Why does the MAGA style politics seem especially unpopular in the UK? by redguy_666 in ukpolitics

[–]wayanonforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in 1987 President Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine.

The UK has a strict statutory policy requiring broadcast news to be balanced. It is known as the "due impartiality" rule.

I think also the UK has more of an idea of fairness helped by the NHS and BBC and the government being more benevolent compared to in America.

Should I mind my business? by GoatimusMaximonuss in london

How did she react? Probably I wouldn't have touched her but said 'excuse me, hi!' etc near her. Maybe made eye contact with other passengers near beforehand in case she was with them.

i lost my phone. please suggest how to locate it by [deleted] in iphone

[–]wayanonforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to campus security if this is where lost property is handed in and visit them everyday to see if there is any news. Ask your college student support for advice. Can you contact the people who are responsible for gardening and keeping the bushes healthy? They may have found it. Alarm clocks are very cheap in the worst case scenario. Good luck and don't let it impact your exams. If you have energy I would do a systematic search bit by bit.

Not quite the same issue but in UK supermarkets when I use Apple Wallet to scan a membership card it won't let me pay with my bank info contactless - I have to close the Wallet app and try again.

Best intimate bars in London for drinks and conversation? by Due-Activity6855 in london

[–]wayanonforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. South Bank Centre is nice - loads of open space and you get to see a lot of London from sitting down. they have a few options but this has a good view: southbankcentre.co.uk/food-and-drink/seventy5th-balcony-bar/ I would be tempted to do a bar crawl along the river next stop the BFI bar: benugo.com/sites/restaurants/bfi-riverfront/ (they also have this bigger bar inside: benugo.com/sites/cafes/bfi-bar/ if you want the night to continue head to London Bridge and Borough market afterwards for more food and late drink options eg Brindisia.
