100% this, I’ve been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.

Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn’t affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that’s the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.

My mum is like this but I think this kind of thing depends on where you’re at in your financial journey and also the type of person you are.

I find that cash burns a hole in my pocket and I check my apps regularly to track spending so any cash effectively just “disappears”, I won’t even remember what I spent it on.

I completely prefer digital spending because for me it’s easier not to lose track and if I seem short, I can trace exactly where it went.

If you’re someone who is not in financial trouble and pays off credit cards regularly then I advise trying to find one with decent rewards and use it for as much of your spending as possible.

This not only gets you air miles / cash back but also helps to build a strong credit record if you’re looking to buy a house, car, … in the future.

That was quite a read.

Thanks for sharing.

Definitely agree the UK wouldn’t get the same terms it had before but I think currency is probably something they could negotiate to keep.

The UK was before and hypothetically would be again one of the biggest economies in the EU and the politicians know what the symbolism of giving up currency would mean to the British.

I really just couldn’t see them letting that stand in the way.

Having said all that, UK isn’t going to be trying to join the EU for a while yet, if ever.

For sure, some events would not be as spectacular to watch. They’re still fascinating to think about though.

Standing at Runnymede imagining how it might have happened, and then considering the legacy and impact it had in bringing me back to the spot hundreds of years later.

Hard to say for sure but some things might actually be more fun just to ponder over.

Heads up, think you meant to say you don’t condone :)

… I hope, anyway

It says right in your first link that it doesn’t support self signed certs

This is never something I’d have even thought about being privatised, I guess I just assumed it was always in the interest of local authorities to make sure there isn’t just shit piling up everywhere and pay for it through taxation. It’s also surely much more cost effective to centralise.

Today I not only discover that isn’t the case, but that you also commonly have to pay extra to recycle. Like what?! Do poorer people have to just not have their bins collected? Or make a choice about whether things get recycled?!

This has absolutely blown my mind!

If you take it to a refuse & recycling centre yourself (I assume those exist with public access), do you have to pay for that too?!

Previous comment said forward the bills, not invoice the pension manager

The enhanced permission api was a huge step forward but plenty of apps still just demand permissions up front and lock you out until you grant them

How dairy make such a bad pun?

I’m not saying I agree with op but their comment is very clear already
