A shame really that she didn't time it for the heatwaves, could have singlehandedly made republicanism the default position because all the royalists would have died of heatstroke.

Because - one of the early center parks had the main swimming pool and shop area under a giant dome/glass roof, back when that was rare and unusual. I forget if it was France or here, but they used that one domed area in all the publicity shots to give the idea they were all like that. I think it was part of their logo for a while.
I vaguely remember friends at school complaining that it was nothing like the adverts in the UK.

Even if Andrew wasn't a nonce this would still be a huge snub to William, the literal adult heir.

Do you think he asked Anne and she said no? Or did he go straight to Prince Nonce?

chemical blacking

A man who apparently predicted the date of Queen Elizabeth II's death has also given a warning over the new King Charles III.

Logan Smith, who goes by the Twitter name of @logan_smith526, initially posted back in July that the UK's longest-serving monarch would die on September 8, 2022.

The specific date sadly became true when the Queen passed away "peacefully" last Thursday in Balmoral while surrounded by royal family members including King Charles and Princess Anne.

Smith's tweet has now gone viral, reports the Daily Star, after he also claimed in the same post that King Charles would die on March 28, 2026.

And so it begins, manufacturing is about to completely die in Britain. We've had several notice from suppliers now telling us to expect price increases of ~500% or more for machining, chemical blacking and nitriding. The one company told us their energy bill currently for doing liquid nitrocarburising is 200 grand, when their current contract expires with their power company in November it's going up to 1.2 million.

This has come as a much bigger shock to me than the loss of our queen. I'll need some time to get over it.

In a similar vein BOC just got in touch with us that due to the CF Ammonia plant in Billingham shutting due to gas prices, CO2 is getting a surcharge of GBP1540/tonne. Expect fertiliser, fizzy drinks, and loads of other stuff to become phenomenally more expensive over the coming months.

While it may seem a smart move at first glance, stocking up your pantry with several tonnes of fertiliser ahead of the price rises is not advisable.

I feel like you should include beer in your examples, given that it's also dependent on CO2 production, and losing it would be a bigger blow to public order than fizzy drinks.

Only for you piss loving lager drinkers, where the carbonation is added afterwards, to make up for your weak and tepid yeasts. For the glorious ale master race there's no issue because most bottle finished ale carbonates itself.

For the longest time I, for some reason, assumed that center Parcs resorts (and butlins and all the others) were inside gigantic domes. I have no idea where that perception came from but it lasted into my 20s and even today my brain still goes to imagining domes whenever these resorts are mentioned

When you drop the supply of one good, replacements will shoot up in price. The price of ale might increase by an order of magnitude if not more.

I've been thinking of starting to brew my own since Christmas is gonna suck if it starts costing like £20 for 4 beers or something, and I could gift people beer. Cavemen figured it out, why not me (they did a lot of things I couldn't figure out, I'm gonna gently caress this up)
