And the train magically drops you off outside your destination too, and totally not several miles away.

Neither do I. It very much applies to the UK.

Yeah it definitely is. 8 year old me used to have MTV on all the time waiting for this song to show up so I remember it vividly

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of gays suddenly cried out in excitement and were suddenly dancing.

That’s cause many of them can’t actually get windows 11 due to that weird bios thing that has to be enabled

… Do you think that converting tens of millions of buildings to heat pumps by mid winter is a quick and easy solution?

It’s a start, but ban them from advertising too. Their ads are everywhere in every medium like cockroaches constantly tricking the poor and foolish out of their money.

What’s with this 4 year old fantasy/opinion piece being presented as both recent and factual?

Fuck yeah trains! Three times the price of driving and takes an hour longer on the rare occasions where it actually turns up on time!

Isn’t that just like a normal every day thing around the world though

It’s better thought of as a tax that funds the BBC, but it can’t be called a tax because it’s not run by the government.

It’s an outdated idea though that doesn’t make any sense in this era because it means that technically if you want to watch any live TV at all then you have to pay the BBC money even if you don’t watch anything by them.

Or you could just not answer the door in the extremely rare case that any enforcement officers actually come around and instead watch TV for free.

In the UK we call them Bum bags (butt bags)

Please no, there’s already people rioting over 3rd world citizens immigrating here, we don’t need to add Yanks to that group too

My dream would be to get a remote nightshift job and live in a house by the beaches of south Thailand

The few 25 plates I’ve seen in the UK are almost always driven by middle aged south Asian men who are probably unaware of the connotations

Rodney you plonker!

On that list i’d say chuff, git and skruff

You’ll get ticketed for that in the UK. Keep left (right) unless overtaking.

That’s the median disposable income, which is significantly lower than the gross income used and misrepresented in this study.

The full time minimum wage is £23,809. That would mean a household with two people earning minimum wage would be classed as rich here.

The threshold for “rich” here seems extremely low. £45K household income? Two people on £23K exceed that.
