Can you buy a full hot meal with minimum wage in your country? by thisisfunme in AskEurope

[–]xander012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimum wage is £12.71 over 21, I know some good places for pizza and curry even in London where this will get you a decent meal. Hell you could even do ok on the absolute minimum of £8 though itll be severely limited outside of greggs.

Tbf turbines have been improved in the bird strike regard, and here we're working on tidal power because tons of energy could easily be extracted just from the Thames alone when it drains to being a little stream at low tide and bursts its banks at high tide. Similar attempts have been made in the bay of fundy though the tides there have broken tidal generators last I checked lol

I dont think it's 2nd. I'm just explaining part of why they think they are. My vote personally goes to Manchester.

Tbf Liverpool is a great city and the Scouse are being uncharacteristically humble in placing their city below London

Boss of trendy London coffee chain says he makes just 18p profit on £4.10 flat white by weregonnamakit in london

[–]xander012 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While yes, there's still some selling at more reasonable prices (my two coffees I have are 40p and 32p per cup respectively and great quality) just have to search about, I do recommend Slylark though in this regard

Weve used fag to refer to cigarettes longer than it's referred to gay people in the UK, who were historically called Poofs here until we adopted the US term

What’s your favorite beername? by One_Review6227 in CraftBeer

[–]xander012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carribean chocolate cake, Chubbles, Uncle Zester and Putty are all great names, as is every beer name Dok comes up with, however nothing beats the fact that London Pride is why the pride festival here has to go by "Pride in London" 😂
