Here’s another one: In the last 10 years the UK has made the largest change in time freight waits to enter the nation.

It almost became (I’m guessing) the first country to give up socialized medicine. So it could be worse.

That’ll be $7.50.
Would you like to tip 40%, 70%, or 135%?

Has almost become. But over my literal dead body, I will take to the streets of Central London and so would millions of others. Take the NHS away and there will be genuine riots from real people with nothing to lose.

I can almost see the Internet on top of Big Ben there (it’s where it gets the best reception).

I don’t hate it, I’m sad about it because it could be so much more.

Same as anywhere really. It has really become a bit shit, mostly because I can’t afford to do anything nice.

The British 3 pin plug is superior to all other plugs. I miss it

Schuko is the only one anyone would ever need. Those gigantic tumors from the island are horrible. And don’t come with the fuse argument. A fuse belongs in the electrical cabinet and is the last failsafe. GFCIs are the ones protecting you l, the appliance and the house.

It’s certainly the one most likely to shank you if you step on it. Beyond that I’d rank it as the least space efficient plug. I honestly think it’s the worst design I’ve seen.

“But it has built in fuses”, I hear all the Brits say. This isn’t the advantage you think it is. Why not put the fuses in the actual appliance with all the other components where it makes more sense to put them?

Created the best popcorn flick, like for example Brexit, Death of Queen Elizabeth, Installation of Palpatine, Lettuce Leaf, and the ongoing season of Riot.
