They sell chopped tomatoes, and every other ingredient but not a tube of tomato puree. It's ridiculous, and it doesn't really last multiple dishes because it goes off fairly quickly after opened.

What happens if you're not home for the 7 days you have to respond to a jury summons?

Minimum wage for the same amount of time would be £379.04 take home per week vs £324.75 per week for jury duty if it is net. It's a fairly big difference for those on minimum wage, and if you're earning more than minimum wage then it's even more significant.

> The maximum loss of earnings payment you can claim is sufficient to replace earnings for some people but for others it won’t be It's not even close, it's "up to £64.95 to help cover your loss of earnings and the cost of any care or childcare outside of your usual arrangements" and £5.71 in food and drink. That's £8.66/hr assuming a 7.5hr day (8hrs inc unpaid 30 minute lunch is fairly standard). So that's significantly under the minimum wage, like massively under it. It should be doubled easily, particularly for more rural courts which might have people travelling from further afield.

Travelling to London soon.. can I use this? I’ve never seen this before.

How can we save the dying UK high street?

My point is more just that many high streets are still flourishing. Where I live it's super busy all the time, there's plenty of independent shops and so on.

Increased taxes on e-corporations, particularly ones without any UK presence. Decrease commercial property taxes, as well as removing taxes on small businesses for serving things like alcohol / hot food. Make Deliveroo / UberEats etc require documentation of proof of work, and stop subcontracting out accounts. Try and enact a 4-day working week nationwide. Remove Sunday Trading Standards, instead guarantee retail workers rights with similar protections.

I think that every office role that transitioned to WFH during Covid instead of furloughing staff should be forced to allow WFH as an option because it clearly is one. Sorry I don't bend over for corporations rights to fuck their employees over? If we were needed and available during Covid, then we should be able to have the same working conditions post Covid.

>Firstly, when I see a situation where you claim everyone in your team is a workshy liar except for you. A group of people were perfectly mentally fine until WFH got cancelled about 18 months ago and within 18 months all of them have suddenly developed mental issues that prevent them from working in office 5 days a week. Doesn't stop them from doing anything else, doesn't change their behaviour from before, doesn't change anything except for the fact that the only way to get WFH is to now have our WFM team sign you off. I'm not a "sparkling employee" in the slightest, there's a reason why I'm on reddit all day. I just don't want to go get a doctor's note claiming depression. > and it's very likely your colleagues have already noted your contempt for them. Mate, my colleagues have already told me exactly what they did to be allowed to WFH. >Then your immediate downvote and rude response confirms it. My "rude" comment was following you insulting and calling me the problem when you have absolutely no idea who I am.

Tesco scratch card policy - is this right?

Nobody is starting kids from gambling. They're just stopping adults from doing something perfectly legal because they spoke to their kid. Gacha games are far more damaging when it comes to inducing kids to gamble than a scratch card.

>A great move for children, no seriously, it's a great idea. Sending children through security by themselves with their passport and a paper copy of the boarding card seems just as silly. >And a group fucking around with phones is definitely faster than being given a piece of paper. "Fucking around with phones" It takes 5s to send a boarding card over and you can do it 2 days before you get to the airport. I feel like you just don't know how to use technology.

> You might have been able to work from home just fine during COVID because an on-site aspect of your role wasn't required during COVID when the office was closed. My job role hasn't changed in the slightest. I don't even work on UK time, I work on AU time and my colleagues are all working from home multiple days a week because "depression" or some shit.

You only need your passport when you get to the other side in most cases other than visas which should all be downloaded I imagine and not online tickets.

I mean if you worked from home just fine during Covid, then forcing staff to come back to the office is a bit bullshit. For 2 years workers were told that they were perfectly fine to wfh, no of course we aren't going to furlough you. Then as soon as the situation recovers, the working conditions either have gone back to what they were before, or are even worse. I had 3 days WFH a week pre-Covid which was more like 4 because they didn't care that much. Now I'm on 5 days a week in office.

Oh Reddit, particularly British Reddit is horrendous for classism. Working classes are below them. Which is why you see "British people don't want to do jobs like cleaning or bin work or care" when they argue why we need immigration. Plenty of British people do work in those industries, but the reason why more don't is because the pay is terrible.

> What's good for one autistic child will be bad for another. No, it won't be. >Go to their employer? Police? Support worker? Neighbour? Believe it or not, adult bullying/abuse is taken far more seriously than child bullying. Hahaha. Christ you're ridiculously naiive if you think that. People need to be able to stand their own ground, and it has nothing to do with bullying just being confident in their own right.

>No. They didn't. Yes, they did. > These people were excluded or isolated from communities for not fitting in. Utter bollocks. They learnt to live with it, just like everyone else has to. > Sending an autistic boy with sensory issues to a boxing gym where he's expected to spar and engage in physical contact with dozens of other kids is a recipe for disaster. Treating him with kid gloves and telling him he can't do xyz because of his autism and that he'll never be normal because of it is hardly better.

They should just rent some kitchen equipment for the week or something then. Having young children carry around things like whisks, bowls etc is silly enough in of itself. Also what about things like ovens, fridges etc?

> Teach your child to be able to stand up for themselves where possible and within limits, but focus on reducing opportunity as a first point of call. Absolutely not. Standing up for yourself is the only thing that needs to happen. You won't be able to run to teacher's in the future, it's incredibly important to learn how to stand up for yourself.

Yes, it is the norm. You're just far too young and only think of telling the time via your phone. Most people think of it in terms of using a watch, which you've always just said to the closest 15 unless you're needing the exact time for a reason.
