@BigNonVeganDave@TempletonPeckJr They claim to be a “city”, have their own airport and the world’s longest pleasure pier too.
Too big for their boots I’ll say
@SomosLos_Rojos To be fair to lager drinkers there is a very distinctive taste of coins that all uk brewed stuff has that you never taste when drinking a genuine euro lager
@CptHastings1916 The difference is for all their faults sheriffs usually do view their purpose as stopping crime. Our police view their purpose as policing us
@WHGCHGANFANE Why does every single one of these include them dropping the bitten piece back into the jar. Some people are going to get very sick from this.
@KnoxEndemic There is going to be a mononucleosis epidemic from them taking bites and letting the bitten piece slide back into the jar. Astonishing that people don’t know that you should never do this
@binarystripes@escapefrommelos And they make sure to put a bitten piece back in the jar every time so that some oral bacteria get into that high sugar stew
@JACKSON_IS_LORD@VeeEmYou It starts at school. They get utterly one shotted by their teachers with regime propaganda about “British” values. The most fanatical realise that the public don’t always act out these values and wouldn’t it be nice to make sure they do. They loathe the public.
@InchoatePrimate@VeeEmYou@PalmyrPar My experience of us and brit police is that US police are genuinely committed to maintaining order and their authority and occasionally will act disproportionately to that end. british police are more like religious morality enforcers, whose only loyalty is to Blair era ideology
@U_R_A_DIPSHIT@Finch__Hatton What I never understand is the guys who do this but are not that well off and have kids. How must they feel when they don’t go on nice vacations but dad has his Ferrari? Or they go to a bad public school but Dad wears a Daytona?
@echetus My entire life plan was becoming a European civil servant after a careers assembly where our teacher disgustedly told us about them and how easy they have it. Right then and there I realised my destiny was a comfy sinecure like that
@IslingtonChap@Laocailarry They’re just as at home helping you fix a Brompton bike as they are designing an inclusive target operating model. Just lovely salt of the earth people, and that’s what football’s all about really.
@Wilhelm_Riker@slackkejakke Yes but the transaction is this specific ticket for that specific train coming at the precise time scheduled - if the customer is late they lose 100% of their outlay immediately. If the train is late they pay gradually and fractionally through delay repay. No reciprocity of risk
@_S0mnambulist_@insomnialibro@slackkejakke But I would pay incrementally, similar to delay replay. I would pay a percentage more to take the later train. The asymmetry in accountability is the fact that 100% of what is spent on the initial ticket is immediately void but the TOC only repays partially and gradually
@maxtempers@Laocailarry At this point we could probably deliver better value for money if the Government Commercial Agency were to issue a tender for the procurement of Buzzballs in bulk and then issue them to criminals directly
