I used to go a lot and loved it. I agree it has changed a lot over the years but I hope eventually to make one final trip. I have done Florida, California and Paris many times but have not been for over fifteen years. But if I get the chance I will make one final special trip to Tokyo Disney. They have two parks and hotels, it will still be Disney but with a twist.

Is it normal to watch TV in your garden in the UK?
Posted by pollen345@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 566 comments

Agreed. The ground is private but noise will travel on the air (which is shared) to neighbouring gardens. As for the law that depends on the country but many do have rules about nuisance noise.

Posted by Altruistic_Fruit2345@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 180 comments

No standing charges. You donât pay a standard charge for other types of business and they all have overheads. A standing charge means that those who canât afford to use electricity and gas all the time are paying towards the privilege of those who can. And no more nonsense about giving cheap electricity to people on benefits, as there are people on lower incomes who do not get benefits. Then there are all the added extras such as a renewables charge. No. The basic cost involved in utilities should be just that⌠basic.

That would depend on the country. In England and Wales if you wanted to film in public in the past you had to get permission from the council. I donât think that has changed but the councils do not enforce it. However at some point the councils may wish to review that and find a way to monetise the videos. If filming in public without permission gets you a fine then people may not be so keen.

I had that problem at my last address just inside my garden as I had no gate. I was told to pour vinegar on the driveway as the smell would be off putting and they would go elsewhere. I did that every two weeks during the summer and so had no more trouble.

I believe it has its origins in the Two World Wars last century. The second one coming so soon after the first practically broke us. My Nan was born in 1900 and died in the 90s. She barely used heating, not because she didnât like it but because she placed food as a priority due to shortages during and after the wars. The state pension was also extremely poor, making basic choices important and then there was the war mentality which meant that you did without to keep the war effort going. Afterwards money was tight for almost everyone until the 80s and the âdo withoutâ mentality was passed down the generations.

Stealing from a corner shop is nasty. They often have low mark ups on products. They will have debts in the form of a lease and the loan they used to buy the shop. Then they have to buy the products at much higher prices than chain stores. Also there will be staff wages, utility bills etc. The lowest of the low steal from corner shops.
