  • A town I grew up in had 9k people… Yet had several bus lines just fine. Why are you accepting excuses like that? I could have gotten on a bus from one grandparent to another 2 villages over (with a change).

    You need to get it out of your head and stop saying “it can’t happen” like rest of the world hasn’t solved this decades ago. The sooner you realise you’re not special edge case, the sooner you’ll get close to what rest of the world takes for granted.










  • I wish my 8 year old son didn’t admire his videos. But they hit right the spot And we curate them, there are videos he’s not allowed to watch of his.

    That’s the problem… Outside of this, how is a child to understand the concept of bad influencer? He got some of the chocolate and it wasn’t bad when it came to UK, then went up in price by 30% and shrunk by a half… But the videos? They’re entertaining and it is a little past time for the family.











  • Sugar, its always the sugar.

    A lot of the working class live on lunch meal. Which is a sandwich, drink and “snack”.

    The drink is always sugary one, because who is going to get water if they can get soda? The snack is chocolate bar or pack of crisps.

    Then there’s big culture of take outs. Chippies are getting super expensive so it is going down a bit… But I worked with people getting 5 take outs a week because they were too tired to cook after work.

    Then you go out and have a meal of some kind at / after pub.

    Yeah, it’s everywhere because it’s just too easy to eat crappy food. We have maybe one take out every 2 months and do all our own cooking, but wife only works part time. So I guess it’s easier to manage? If I were single or we both worked and had multiple children… I don’t know if it’d be the same.
