It's funny the number of people accusing the official name change of being 'communism', when the worst that you could accuse it of is being some kind of romantic nationalism, coming from the idea that there is something more organic or natural about the official name change (as opposed to the other name being regarded as insulting to the people there, like Port Elizabeth or Londonderry).

Greetings UKMT I am being compelled to visit your accursed shores around the beginning of May, specifically Manchester, Leeds, and Edinburgh. I recall reading that public transit might be a bit less intuitive to visitors/well-functioning in the north, so I figured I'd ask here if you had any tips that might save me time/money/annoyance. If you have any recommendations for things to see/eat/avoid, then I'm also all ears.

Manchester has trams at least, and contactless payment with an automatic daily cap. e: Also a big statue of a bee.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Greetings UKMT The good news is that trains between those three are relatively straightforward - there's a direct line between Manchester and Leeds and you are back on the same line to York to change for Edinburgh. Expect it to be fairly expensive. On things to see, York is a great city if you want to take a break on the journey and the train goes through Durham, which is another lovely little city (although will probably be rammed with students about that time)

A Buttery Pastry posted:Greetings UKMT You might want to consider a BritRail Pass? Depending what you're up to, worth checking out. You have to select a non-UK country (top right hand corner) to see prices etc. They're not available to a Brit - these days if you say you're a Brit etc etc - and there's some kind of protection against inclement weather or strikes etc you can select for. https://www.acprail.com/rail-passes/britrail/ The site does state (falsely) that reservations are never mandatory - well unless they mean 'if you have a BritRail pass' maybe it's different, but they're certainly mandatory on some trains I've used in the past few months! Some more notes on Brit Rail pass (NOT the same as Rail Rovers which ARE available to Brits)scroll down the page for the info. https://www.seat61.com/train-travel-in-britain.htm#rail-rovers Also bear in mind that May 1st and May 8th (Coronation) are public holidays and this can muck up travel plans quite badly - again, depending where you're going, especially as the railways tend to do a lot of maintenance that needs long 'possessions' for work that can't be done overnight and sometimes routes are shut for 3 whole days over those.

Rishi wouldn't even put the youth who fail maths in prison. I would. Borstals for all of them. And then separate smaller prisons inside them for all the nonces that inevitably end up running the borstals. Prisons all the way down.

If you make the whole country into a prison then you don't even need prisons and can save money.

Manchester has hands down one of the best tram systems I've ever been on. It is also full of really beautiful buildings and locals who will tell you how "dead friendly" people in Manchester are... aggressively. Leeds is also great and Edinburgh is stunning, especially if the skies are clear.

Also, on the topic of quiches, the best way to make a quiche is to have halved cherry tomatoes face up on top of the quiche so they roast in the oven all nicely like. I can count among my achievements a quiche so good it impressed a minor celebrity (no I won't be doxxing them)

See I keep telling myself I’ll try it out, then go onto one of the faction fb groups and see people being like ‘well, that hood is too late-14th century when the brief is early’ and lose all interest and desire. :p …as if I haven’t literally today dropped 300 quid on an accurate custom tailored 95th rifles uniform for a Sharpe Larp at the end of may. Tbh I’m not sure how well I’d do at a fest larp these days- I mostly just do Eyelarp filmsim and one sci-fi system (Orion Sphere, which is awesome and everyone should come).
