@Albrochier Anyone paying 14 grand for a pushbike needs their head testing. There'll be ones put aside at the local tip you can spruce up for 50 quid.

@Cpt_Bau @an0n_Nic I'm not sure you've entirely grasped the point there, Captain.

@FarRightSkip They can't fathom that 'value' is entirely intangible and trust-based and not the outcome of a spreadsheet. Hence impossible to enforce value taxes.

@Mattisamazing33 Man-made horrors etc.

@FuturistPartyGB Partially, and partially liability. If an organisation has told someone to "take a brolly!" then they're indemnified against the person getting wet. The vast majority of modern managerialism, nannying and safetyism traces back to insurance and legal arse covering.

@clim8resistance Chip plants? Is that one of those strange Midlandisms like cob? They're called chip shops here.

@moanaparte Subsidised, socialised industry in rationing shock.

@Stsantek @ScottGoetz_ Are you suggesting humans hadn't developed a moderate understanding of the laws of physics prior to 1903?

@FlashForFreedom The dull ones are the scaffolding for the daily "I'm not very keen on Tories and Reform so there take that fascists!" ones.

@CumbrianFella_ A few thousand of them, 8,000 miles on a boat, no vaccines or tropical equipment, took ownership of a subcontinent. We were fucking amazing.

@disparutoo Good to see Zendaya getting work again.

@trevgoes4th @LoftusSteve Should but don't. We've become the tragedy of the commons.

@anglopjdst @rosbifenth10032 We should have left them at the mercy of the Turks, in hindsight.

@mylandsinorder @StevenEdginton He was given that soubriquet because he's both a doctor and an engineer.

@XRLlareggub Could do a better cost-benefit analysis of one than the DFT.

@50YearsAgoLive It's no Fireball and Mudflap.

@moanaparte @Alys_Wanderland I imagine that the expansion in grad jobs that were previously college or school leaver jobs (coppers, middle management, back office etc.) helped absorb it. My point was more that the glut has clearly destroyed middle class wage growth and misallocated the country's skills.

@cannock666 @moanaparte Give peas a chance.

@moanaparte Sadly in many cases the answer would have been "sure hope so!"
