I think Brum lives in the Cotswolds.
CT would never make it there, too many A roads. - Comment on Bloodletting recommended for Jersey residents after PFAS contamination 5 days ago:
Always nice to have a silver lining!
I really don’t want to think about a 10 year future where everyone has to go through this. - Comment on Bloodletting recommended for Jersey residents after PFAS contamination 5 days ago:
The bioaccumilation of PFAS in mortal blood is concerning for me and my colleagues.
It would be very sad to live for 600 years, only to be killed off by rain fire suppressant. - Submitted 5 days ago to unitedkingdom@feddit.uk | 17 comments
- Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 6 days ago:
IIRC, the owner chose to support brexit because it might mean the UK implemented minimum alcohol pricing sooner, which might have increased his trade when the gap between supermarket and pub drinking got smaller.
It really rubbed me the wrong way that was his reason. - Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 6 days ago:
Spoons and BD have been on my “do not drink at” list for a while.

- Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 1 month ago:
The barista grade stuff works pretty well in builders tea, honestly.
You just have to get in the habit of shaking the carton. - Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 1 month ago:
They see younger generations moving away from dairy, and claim it’s because non-dairy stole the words.
When in my case at least, it only took a week milk-free to realise that having mild discomfort in your stomach all the time isn’t normal.
