Just come up a dual carriageway, overtaking on the right like a normal person, to be hit with brake lights and a steady 55.
Turns out there's a speed camera van on a bridge and people think the national speed limit is 60mph. On a dual carriageway.
Was in real danger of being undertaken by faster lorries next to me.
I spent most of my teenage summers chilling here with my friends. Lots of fond memories.
It's been closed since around 2021, had millions spent on modernisation, landscaping and long needed repairs and honestly it looks absolutely beautiful.
It reopened a couple of weeks ago and I've finally had a day of annual leave to have a stroll. Within 20 minutes I've been called "oi" 3 times, been started on twice, almost tripped over someone off their face on god knows what, and I've just been fist bumped for having nice tattoos who couldn't decide whether to fist bump me with his can of beer hand or his joint hand (atleast he was pleasant though I'll give him that).
With an awful lot of people staying up until 4 am to watch the football, I foresee a sharp uptick in vehicular accidents today both from drink and fatigue.
Be careful out there everyone.
and was met with a cancellation fee. I called the insurance company up to negotiate this fee. Eventually I agreed to pay it, and they said they offered a payment plan with no interest. I can easily afford the £50 fee, but thought I’d do the petty thing, so I’m paying off the £50 over 6 months.
Was in Soho this evening and watched someone fill their bag in a shop and stroll straight out the door. No alarm, no security, staff didn’t even look up. It was so casual I almost doubted what I’d seen.
Is this just accepted now? Do these people ever actually get caught, or have shops fully given up? Genuinely asking because the staff’s complete non-reaction was the strangest part.
I can’t understand whether it’s through addiction, stupidity, or a complete disregard for human life
"Hey just a quick one" "You look like a nice person would you..." "I know you care about the..."
No. Retailers please take note, if I see you've allowed them to set up a begging podium at the exit to your store, I probably will go to another. Yes I always give a "no thanks" and keep walking but it's an unpleasant experience. Nobody likes this, get rid of them.
Sincerely, everyone sitting in the vicinity of the loo.
Seriously, I don't think I've ordered food and have it arrive on time and with all of the expected items in the last two years or so. Either it shows up with half the order missing, or it shows up ice cold, or it shows up with stuff inside that you asked them to remove because you literally cannot eat it.
I don't know why this has suddenly become such a challenge... People managed to fulfill orders correctly in the 90s and 00s using a pen and paper, yet of our modern cloud-based ordering systems and GPS delivery drivers seem to have somehow made everything worse.
I get it, SIR Becks is a national treasure but Jesus Christ, Ninja, Stella, McDs, Walkers.
I’ve got Beckham fatigue.
McDonald’s also stinks but less so, what causes this horrible stench
Completely my own fault I forgot to renew it so now have the whole year paying full price. I've also booked trains with it already in the past few weeks so I'll have to refund them all!
Seriously, why do they have 2 different barcodes?
(Fyi, it's the code on the cardboard binder, not the can)
I am an office worker. I work from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Ooh, let me get a coffee before work from this local cafe... Oh. It opens at 9am. Okay. I'll just make coffee at work.
Better pick up that prescription on my lunch... Every pharmacy is closed between 1-2pm. Fine.
I've got some money to deposit at the bank after work, so I'll just do- closes at 3pm. Ah.
But it's fine! I can go to the cafe on the week... end... closed on weekends. Alright.
I understand that probably most people don't work a set 9am to 5pm, but it feels like the high street is still set up in a way that stay at home partners can go out and do the errands during the day, while you work.
Had our first mail delivery in nearly 2 weeks today. Postie said he'd been on holiday. Apparently bosses at the delivery office couldn't be arsed to put any cover in place so they just didn't bother delivering.
