People who can't or won't turn the steering wheel enough. For example, reversing out onto a main road, but only turning the wheel to about half way to full lock, so they go onto the opposite side of the road.

There are rules against the same owner having interests in multiple clubs, even across national boundaries. [https://www.the42.ie/crystal-palace-uefa-europa-league-6764332-Jul2025/](https://www.the42.ie/crystal-palace-uefa-europa-league-6764332-Jul2025/) So, if Manchester United (for example) gave money to Morecombe it would be a problem, what if they were drawn against each other in the FA Cup? Would Morecombe be expected to lose in gratitude? I doubt that they would, but thngs have to be seen as being above board.

It's more in the UK too, free next day (or same day if you order early enough) delivery, a photo / video storage 'cloud', access to "Prime Day" sales.

The risk you are taking is that the previous owners may have given keys to the neighbours, and some neighbours can be a little thoughtless and carry on using the keys.

Aftershave no, after shaving I use a moisturiser. Cologne, yes, but not if I'm going to be working in the garden all day! I'm retired now, but when I worked I was the only bloke in a department of around 30 ladies and was complimented on 'smelling nice' (I don't think they were just being kind).

My lawn is about the same size as yours (400sq metres) and I bought an Aldi battery electric, the battery has four lights giving the charge, and aside from the first cut of the year, I never get under 2 lights when I'm finished. During Covid I also cut my neighbour's lawn and the battery never flattened. To your question, I would not recommend leaving any mower outside, aside from the water ingress to the mower, remember you will leave it untouched for a few months over winter, but there are plenty of thieves who will have it away in the blink of an eye.

53? You'll still be working, looking forward to your pension.

To be blunt, it's a way to create the drama people watch the shows for. They then throw in a few 'red herrings' with random people looking as guilty as hell, before revealing the murderer was the butler. Watch any of the 'real police' documentaries, most things are so different in real life. For example, the 'boss' does not go out to the scene, he/she sits in an office and depatches their sergeants to go out and supervise the 'door to door' enquries.

In theory, but if they ever come into contact with the police or NHS, they would be refered to social services and homed. Obviously, they could still run away, but they would be 'known to the system' and deemed a vulnerable person.

I don't.

There was a 'fly on the wall' TV show following security guards in a UK shopping centre. They did occasionally chase people or detain them awaiting the police (though I think that is a bit sketchy under UK law). However, they were also monitoring the CCTVs (and recording it), they then called the police who arrested people leaving the premises. Most shopping centres and larger stores have 'plain clothes' guards who are looking for shop lifters, they again alert the police.

To be fair, people have been shot for less in the USA, he was probably worried your husband was armed.

FV432 with the ex Fox Armoured car turret, no further official designation.

I believe it's the world's only 'tank limo', owned by this lot, [https://tanks-alot.co.uk/tank-limo-hire/](https://tanks-alot.co.uk/tank-limo-hire/) Obviously painted to promote something in London. It's a British Army FV432 stretched to make it longer. https://preview.redd.it/i8r5rq6vwegf1.png?width=962&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9f4131f20b777584f874d010be8d6ba071854c5

Some modern historians, having examined the contempoary sources, suggest that the whole "Guy Fawkes" plot was what we would call today a 'false flag' attack, organised by the Monarchy to blacken the name and reputation of Catholics. Obviously, as any witnesses are long dead, it's purely speculation. I think Halloween has largely taken over from November 5th anyway these days.

Just remember, there is every chance your NHS consultant works at the local private hospital, talk to them first. Also, most NHS hospitals have private wards, the one I worked at actually had two, so you should be able to be treated in the same place. We occasionally had patients moving both ways, was private went to the NHS and vice versa.

I feel it rather depends on the other person(s) interpretation of 'ish'. I could name my friends for whom 'ish' is +/- 30 minutes or others for who it means +/- 1 minute.

The first English translation of the original books was in 1969.

It's often a trope in US shows that the "baddies" escape if they reach the State Line, indeed I think there are specific offences regarding taking persons or things across those lines. It is not true in the UK. However, if police were escorting an ambulance (for example) through several police areas, the escorts do swap at convient places.

Ireland os probably the easiest, due to the 'Common Travel Area'

In London, yes, all the buses are red and many are double deckers, some are even electric these days. Around the country there are some double-deckers in most places, but these are often not red because different areas use different colours. Double deckers are also found in Berlin and Baghdad.

Simon Calder, in the 90s he was presenting the Travel Show on the BBC. His 'day job' is travel correspondent for The Independent, these BBC appearences are his side hustle. In his natural habitat https://preview.redd.it/jium11fip1gf1.png?width=615&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e967115188bc916d69a81a28a90088012e97b2d When he retires I hope hi is immortalised with a statue at Gatwick.

The Second World War. Every village or town seems to have a wartime themed event every summer, portraying the war as a sort of jolly combination of singing and dancing, usually by people born in the 60s. I'm all for celebrating the veterans and their sacrifices, but the image of WW2 as something like "Dad's Army" is just wrong.

I think the fact a is involved complicates matters, in the cse of both my parents the care home or hospital doctors were able to confirm a cause of death, so the paperwork was very smooth. To answer your question, no it's not normal, there is a question over the cause of death. In the UK, a coroner is a judicial officer responsible for investigating deaths, particularly those that are violent, unnatural, of unknown cause, or occur in custody or state detention. Coroners, often lawyers or doctors with at least five years of experience, determine the cause of death and may hold inquests to establish the facts surrounding a death.

A bloke I used to work with went to the same Spain hotel each year, for the same two weeks and ideally got the same room every time. They rarely left the hotel as 'everything they wanted was there'.

You can get 'long life mlk' in most UK convience stores and supermarket, I admit I only use it in coffee, so I gave no idea what it's like to drink 'neat', but it keeps well without refridgeration.

Yes, I think even today, but certainly 30 years ago, all schools were required to perform an 'act of collective workship' every day. The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 requires schools without a religious character to provide collective worship that is "wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character". In many Church of England and Catholic schools in the UK,a daily act of Christian worship is a statutory requirement, though parents have the right to withdraw their children

Tesco & ASDA occasionally have good items, Tesco T shirts are decent, given the price, but possibly not 'for best'. What annoys me is inconsistent sizing, in some stores a 36" waist is fine, go to another and a 40" is tight.

Perhaps more pressing, is will the manager and players get suitable honours?

I think they would be asked to leave a shopping centre, which is private property, but on a street it's legal, unless the police determine it's a nuisance. Of course, 'nuisance' is very subjective in this context. A friend who worked in a shop used to moan about a 'preacher' you always stood near their shop and I think they got them to move, but I think they just moved along the street. You might complain to your local police or councillor and something might be done.

Partly because the owners of the markets have bumped up the fees and rents, so stall holders cannot afford them, so the stalls close. Markets in the UK also had a reputation, especially for food items, as poor quality and over-priced. The best bet in the UK, for food anyway, are Farmer's Markets, usually locally grown produce and while not the cheapest, you are often buying directly from the farmer.

Like most 'fast food' chains, Pizza Hut are a franchise system, so it's not an overall policy, rather local trading conditions.

Many popular hobbies in the UK are enjoyed by men, including sports like football, golf, and hiking, as well as outdoor activities such as camping and fishing. Other common hobbies include cooking/baking, photography, and model building.

Most bulls are naturally quite docile, UNLESS, you encounter them while they are doing their duty and servicing the females. https://preview.redd.it/cnfc3rcku7ff1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed6a88b0820e71255a3a63b8141b6984223534cf However, like most animals they can get spooked by surprises, for example a dog running at them. More people are injured by cows in the UK, albeit there are a lot more cows.

There would be a court case between 'charging' and 'sentencing', even if the defendant pleads guilty, that has to be in court. From the timing you suggest, I think your cousin pleaded guilty. Was it a magistrate's court (I think those are quicker) or a High Court (with a jury).

The seperate ordering thing is not so unusual, paying in advance is as they ask for a tip. Places I haved encountered where you pay before you eat, not unusual in pubs, the tipping is done in a tip jar on the way out.

It's virtually unknown, even amongst Catholics, in the UK. It's fair to say that inn England and Wales, the Catholic Church is navigating this declaration, with some clergy expressing support and others reaffirming traditional teachings on marriage. The Catholic Church in the UK is in three parts, England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Catholic Church in England & Wales has always permitted the blessing of couples married outside the church, certainly in my lifetime.

Most supermarkets have both, indeed salted / unsalted versions of the same brand. I prefer salted personally, but am not that bothered either way. I don't think there are any rules on the matter, except unsalted is usually used in recipes.

Without wishing to appear rude, but if you know enough to use them properly, you should know what you need. If you are not experienced at DIY, you are probably more of a danger to yourself and others. The B&Q ads where the young lady is smashing a wall with a sledge hammer is quite disturbing. I have a Lidl Parkside drill and various other power tools, my neighbour, a builder by profession, is impressed considering the cost compared with his Makita kit. I'm realistic enough to know that Parkside would not be suitable to earn your living, but they are fine for DIY jobs. Parkside hand tools, pliers, screw drivers, saws, are decent quality too.

Basically, not "normal" at all. Of all the people I have meet in my nearly 70 years, a handful have been anything like regular drug & drink users. Even the drinkers are getting rarer, the pubs are closing because of it. Bear in mind, I knew some Hell's Angels who were in a 'biker gang', lovely people to a man. I only met one person who regularly went to raves. So, no, it's not common at all.

Most British, though strictly it was only an English thing, don't think about it at all. Initially it wasn't even called "The Magna Carta", that came later, it agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. Neither side stood by their commitments, and the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, leading to the First Barons' War. After John's death, the regency government of his young son, Henry III, reissued the document in 1216, stripped of some of its more radical content, in an unsuccessful bid to build political support for their cause. It was re-issued several times after that, eventually gaining the name Magna Carta. At the end of the war in 1217, it formed part of the peace treaty agreed at Lambeth, where the document acquired the name "Magna Carta", to distinguish it from the smaller Charter of the Forest, which was issued at the same time. Short of funds, Henry reissued the charter again in 1225 in exchange for a grant of new taxes. His son, Edward I, repeated the exercise in 1297, this time confirming it as part of England's statute law. **However, Magna Carta was not unique; other legal documents of its time, both in England and beyond, made broadly similar statements of rights and limitations on the powers of the Crown.** It seems to hold more historical value in the USA, yet the history of the document is really a mess.

I'm sure the football & cricket results are correct.

You analysis is correct, and as you say it's really a question of following the lead of others. I worked for a US company in the UK, that too was a culture shock, I was quite happy to tell the boss that something was delayed if there was good reason. my US colleagues were shocked as they tended to sugarcoat everything for "the boss". It turned out the US prefered things my way! As he knew he was being lied to by his staff.

My school had a Sixth Form in the 70s, I did my A levels there. These days, after your GCSEs you go to college or Sixth Form to do the next stagem A levels or something more vocational (T levels). Where you go often depends on the subjects you wish to study, not all colleges or Sixth Forms do the same subjects.

I passed through Luxembourg once, though it's a bit 'blink and you miss it'.

Venison is easy to find in UK supermarkets, many do 'venison burgers' or the usual cuts. I think the venison is farmed, not wild.

The "hole-in-the wall dive bars" are not really a thing in the UK anymore, the nearest are private member's club, which might not let you in in the first place. There are a few 'locals' where the older members of the population go, the sort of pub that goes quiet when you appear in the doorway, but these tend to be away from tourist areas. I'd be polite, but if I'm after a quiet drink with my friends or alone, I'd not be happy that someone tries to 'butt in'. To be honest, across the UK traditional pubs are dying out, replaced by Wetherspoons or restaurants that serve alcohol. I used to work for a US company in thre UK, I'd not call the US colleagues 'over friendly', rather they over-share, I don't need to know your life history or that you are 5% Albanian.

One suggestion is to adopt the German system, where public broadcasters like ARD and ZDF are primarily funded through a mandatory license fee called the "Rundfunkbeitrag" or "Beitrag". This fee is levied on all households, businesses, and public institutions, regardless of whether they own a television or radio. The money collected is then distributed among the various public broadcasters, including ARD, ZDF, and Deutschlandradio. Adverts would not be popular, as there is a finite advertising income, spreading it across the BBC too would reduce the cash the commercial broadcasters get.

I suspect 'Centre Parcs', beloved by the middle classes, keeps prices up to enhance the prestige, like BMWs are dearer than Vauxhalls.
