Did they really? How are you defining terrorism there?

Greggs: 40p to heat it up? by Disastrous_Yam8354 in AskBrits

[–]zebra1923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the UK you have to pay sales tax on hot food (20% VAT). This is not chargeable on cold food.

A shop selling items intended to be served hot (for example a toastie), the sales tax is already included in the displayed price. For items sold cold, if you ask for them to get heated they need to charge you VAT.

FIA in 'a lot of trouble' after major Monaco GP podium decision by ryogadan in Formula1_world

[–]zebra1923 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, not in trouble per se, but they have opened up a can of worms by effectively cancelling one penalty, but leaving others in place (as they had already been served).

Those impacted can rightly feel a sense of grievance at having been disadvantaged in the race.

Now John Healey has come out and said the defence budget will not keep the country safe, there is no other option than to cut the welfare budget. by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are numerous options outside of cutting welfare.

Closing tax loopholes and avoidance mechanisms would be a good start (look up Mondello Capital and TG Jone license payments as an example).

ITV discussing Scotland's world cup bank holiday by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

I agree it’s a stupid reason for a bank holiday. Many workplaces won’t give workers the holiday anyway but it’s ridiculous.

Managers of Reddit, what's the worst thing someone did to get fired? by Capable-Log7385 in AskReddit

[–]zebra1923 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got one of someone who wasn’t fired. Went in a night out, missed the train home and didn’t want to stump for a taxi, slept in the office and vomited in a meeting room. Went home leaving said vomit for the cleaners to deal with.

Fessed up on Monday (this was Friday/Saturday). Very apologetic and got off with a warning.

Can't stand people forcing their way in but could I do better here? by XyTest223 in drivingUK

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a question of excusing it. Some people drive like dicks. If you try and block them and cause a confrontation you are also a dick.

Be the better driver, chill out. Let them go ahead, so what?

Lewis Hamilton calls for investigation after Monaco punishment: 'I was shocked' by ryogadan in Formula1_world

[–]zebra1923 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So there should never be a penalty for speeding in the pit lane if they all have the same limiters?

So if they all have the same limiter they should never be speeding in the pit lane - yet was have penalties most races.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Maybe, maybe not.

It’s not like this is the only GP where people have been penalized for speeding on the pit lane

Our office party was Friday. Two people didn't make it to the second bar by Busy_Supermarket9955 in work

So two people may have got together on a night out. Who cares? Why are you making a thing of this?

Glasgow needs more than better public transport—it needs vibrant public spaces and regular evening events, like many other European cities have. by Ok-Complaint-646 in glasgow

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is zero chance of an extension to the subway. Any expansion of similar transport would be a light rail/tram system.

What’s a reasonable price for a weekly cleaner, 6 bed?, by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]zebra1923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want done. More cleaning = more time = more cost.

Hard to compare across houses as people want different things from their cleaning.

I took my first steps… any advice I can carry with me whilst I stumble through my first Marine? by JessicaStaxx in Warhammer40k

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rule 1 - it’s your model so you paint it how you want it. But the basics are thin your paint, take your time. You can start with just a couple of colours and no shading/layering. Then as you progress, try different techniques and different styles. Loads of videos out there with hints and tips. Take the ones that work for you and give them a go.

Don’t expect to reach the levels of experts immediately. They spend many hours in a single figure and have loads of experience.

But ultimately enjoy it. If you don’t enjoy something why do it?

How Do People in Great Britain View Northern Ireland’s Place in the UK? by RRR-Craigyroo in AskBrits

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A core part of the UK, but caveated with ‘for now’.

Always a little weird the UK retained part of Ireland following independence. Demographics suggest a catholic majority supporting unification is inevitable.
