- Comment on Anger as workmen rip out 'lovely' Levenshulme alley garden 1 week ago:
It makes sense here for the people that have poured time and money into improving their community over the years, only for it to be mindlessly vandalised by bureaucrats.

- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 2 weeks ago:
Americans seem allergic to showing a simple single payable amount that the customer pays. It must be exhausting. It must be like trying to book RyanAir tickets, but with everything.
- Comment on Thameslink to replace over 60,000 'ironing board' train seats 2 weeks ago:
Where am I supposed to do my ironing now?
- Comment on TV shows on streaming services showing the titles in every language in history for each episode 3 weeks ago:
I guess I’m just being lazy in not fishing my phone out to then move it onto the next episode, expecting it to roll over any second like it used to. Then I’ll wait expecting it to change any second, and repeat.
I think Netflix still does this but there’s a couple of others that show the titles each episode.

I’m sure you’d get glowing reviews.

Too soon?
- Comment on Wildfire phone alert was 'entirely appropriate', government says 3 weeks ago:
I disagree about it being opt-in. Most people wouldn’t bother, making your next point moot.
I think this was probably not the best use of this system but ultimately this system could save many lives if there’s genuine risk to life.
It’s a mild inconvenience for about 5 seconds, I think people are making a bigger deal out of it than it really is.
- Comment on How switching your bank account could earn you up to £220 3 weeks ago:
It’s straight forward if you use the current account switch service, we’ve just done it to move banks.
I guess you could keep a dormant current account open that you don’t use or use sparingly and use that to switch to a new account to get the reward. Probably does a number on your credit score if you do it quite frequently and it’s something you care about.
- Comment on Five reservoirs in England and Wales ‘exceptionally low’ as drought persists 3 weeks ago:
We are building new reservoirs, or do you mean more than what’s being planned?
- Comment on Changing pubs into offices or homes to be made harder under new rules 3 weeks ago:
I guess we’ll just see more abandoned buildings then rather than brown sites that could be used for housing.

Not used in a test scenario.

Yeah this proper shit me up! Is it the first time this system has been used in anger?

- Comment on Burnham to consider ban on disposable barbecues as wildfires rage in UK 4 weeks ago:
They’re not disposable cast iron BBQs, they’re just an aluminium foil tray with a few bits of charcoal in and a wire mesh to put the food on. As you can guess, they’re awful for cooking on.

- Comment on ‘The market is dead’: why aren’t flats in England selling? 4 weeks ago:
I guess it depends on why they’re selling. For some, it won’t be worth the financial penalty and will just stay put.
- Comment on ‘The market is dead’: why aren’t flats in England selling? 4 weeks ago:
That’s ultimately the answer and how the game is supposed to work. Lower the prices enough and someone will buy.
But people don’t want to then sell their property for £50k+ less than they paid for it, and I can understand their reluctance. So rather than just accept a lower price, they take the property off the market and just wait things out. Only those desperate enough will lower their price significantly, but I’d imagine those people would be a rarity.
So now you end up with house prices that don’t really fall in any meaningful way and social mobility is hurt, which has wider implications.
