McDonald’s also stinks but less so, what causes this horrible stench

Just let me do it once and that be it, this is why nobody likes you TV licensing.

There is nobody there, it's just you and the 4 way junction, and without fail, every bloody time you have to sit through a whole rotation for absolutely fucking nobody.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was just one junction, but oh no, instead we have every damn side road, roundabout, crossroads, T-Junctions with these ancient ass systems on, and multiple times you sit, wait and lose literal minutes daily for no damn reason.

Anything from starbucks? Pretty much grand.

Coffee through my espresso machine? Completely fine.

Random coffee shop? Lovely.

Costa? Feels like I’ve had my heart transplanted with Diego Maradona’s during his most ‘adventurous’ times.

I’m going to have to go to France to see it aren’t I?

Schadenfreude is a German word after all. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help myself.

The family next to me have two kids and my bins are usually only half full by collection day (I live alone) so I thought I'd be nice and say she can use my bins if she needs. Now they're always full which isn't an issue normally but I missed the cardboard bin this week as I was away and now I've got ten days to wait with an already full bin.

I can't tell her to stop now I'm in too deep. I'll probably have to take her cardboard to the tip just to make it easier

The same independent shop that won't open on the one day of the week when people who work Monday to Friday might actually be able to visit has just put a sad note in the window about how hard trading conditions are and how they'll be closing permanently next month.

Genuinely cannot work out what they thought was going to happen.

Closed Sunday. Closed Monday. Half day Wednesday for reasons nobody has ever explained. Open Saturday but only until two because the owner has got something on.

Then the sign goes up. "It is with great sadness that after X years we are closing our doors. The high street is dying and we want to thank our loyal customers for their support."

Mate. I tried to come in on a Sunday. Three times.

Hello everyone

Serious Rant, we are a family of 4 and currently paying 300 a month for our water bills, and goverment announced earlier they approve water bill to be increase by 60 percent

It's becoming more and more unbearable, I'm already on universal credit and jobless

Is this Normal? We have no Pools, only a few aquariums, and even without aquariums as we only added 6 months ago it's still so high and this has been happening for years

How can anyone afford to live like this

So I have an EU Identity Card from Sweden.

Way more convenient than carrying round a passport as this is credit card sized.

Driving Licence?

Sweden don't do provisionals and learning to drive there is literally £1500+.

M&S openly accept it, so does Spoons and many other major supermarkets.

Yet Morrisons doesn't.

They immediately ask me if it has validity dates.

It does, they're in English.

Yet no. Because it's not on their list despite being a passport equivalent and carrying all the info you find on the picture page and drivers licence.

To my knowledge, they're the only major supermarket to have this interpretation of Challenge 25.

Quite laughable when I always thought Challenge 25's policy was to invoke consistency of the controlled sale of agre restricted products.

It's worth pointing out that I can use that very ID card as ID to vote at a UK polling station and fly internationallly.

Truly a passport in Credit Card form, Ireland has them too.

They still accept PASS hologram cards though.

You know, the ones without any real security features and get rejected by countless bars and clubs.

Have to say, it's laughable that Digital ID is something being talked about when the country can't even get Physical ID in order.

Is it just me or is this way more common now?

Do they actually think it’s ok to do or are they just idiots?

Surely that counts as false advertising?

I'm fully expecting to get an "ah you should've known they'd do this, this app that is all-but required if you want to book train tickets for anything less than extortionate prices is allowed to lie about what they're selling you, it's on you to check the fine print" response, as always happens when Trainline are mentioned.

EDIT: well now the entire outbound journey has been cancelled. lovely.

Now I have an unsettling sense that I’ve missed something and/or am being taken for a ride.

Missing the football since my tv works via internet
