Home Secretary Priti Patel wants to introduce immigration legislation which, had it been in force 40 years ago, would have excluded her own parents from coming here. She is evil personified.

Would you go on a stag do that involves climbing a mountain?

Posted by Icy-Western-3314@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 319 comments

I recently went on a stag that involved a lot of outdoor activity. He’s one of my best mates and I was pleased to do it for him but as someone who isn’t outdoorsy, I had to spend a lot of money on appropriate equipment (hiking boots, waterproof trousers etc) as well as obviously the cost of the accommodation and activities Unless this is a bucket list thing for all your groomsmen, I think it’s way too much/too far, personally.

Who is buying the premium unleaded petrol?

Posted by Seeyalaterelevator@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 735 comments

ANuggetEnthusiast@reddit

Anecdotal, rather than scientific, and I’ve never owned a petrol car, but we have a 20-year-old Corolla diesel. For 3 years in a row it failed its MOT on emissions and the mechanics did some witchcraft (probably flushed it with Redex or something) to get it through. Then our local Costco opened a fuel station and we run it almost exclusively on their premium diesel. In the three years since, emissions have never been mentioned even as advisories, so I have to assume the premium fuel is doing something right.

I used to work in a school. I worked in a small but popular subject department, and one of the teachers there had to write over 220 reports that year - basically, every kid they had taught in years 7-11 for their subject that year. They had a word doc with about 10-12 pre-written paragraphs on and they just chose the paragraph that best matched each pupil, then personalised it a little bit. There was literally no way they could have written that many personalised reports from scratch.
