The person dressed in a giant poppy costume who was jumping side to side and waving their arms at me as I entered the supermarket was pretty funny and made me smile, so I’ll have more of that type of poppy mania please.

Because you haven’t adjusted it right?

Psychologists don’t just refuse to work with neurodivergent people, if they did that would be a lot of patients. There is a lot more context to this statement that you haven’t shared.

The UK has building societies which sound like what you’re describing

“The result means a clause will be added to the constitution defining EU accession as a goal, though the country’s potential admission to the European bloc is still many years away.”

There’s also a humane alternative that we know does work - catching and vaccinating badgers https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/aug/06/badger-vaccination-cull-eradicate-bovine-tuberculosis-btb-farmers-cornwall-study-zsl-aoe

I’d never signed a credit or debit card in my life until I travelled to the US last year, and then I only did it because I’d heard stories of places confiscating cards if they weren’t signed. Don’t know how true they are now but I wasn’t risking it.

For some reason I am doubting the credibility of this source

Boats actually pass on the right on UK canals

It’s worse than that - it’s described in the article as the “station tuck shop”. Apparently the police station has resources to run a tuck shop when crime routinely goes uninvestigated

Made me think of the yellow eyed demon from Legion

If the council maintained the road markings like they are supposed to then companies meeting their obligations to repaint markings would never make the news. It only gets picked up on when the original marking is basically non existent anyway.

I tried to sign it but I forgot that the UK isn’t in the EU anymore 😞

Full time where I work is 37 hours a week with a 5 hour Friday. I’ve asked for a 4 day week by splitting those 5 hours over the other 4 days but have been refused. This seems to be about giving workers the right to request this arrangement, it shouldn’t force anyone to do it if they are happier sticking with their current 5 day week.
