Just got told by a ‘farmers daughter’ (an actual way in which people describe themselves in rural farming areas) that is vegans (of which I am one) are destroying the british agricultural industry so I went on a completely ad-libbed three minute rant about how the tories now have free reign to gently caress over the last powerful union in the country (the NFU), the fact that we left the CAP which is the largest organisation in the word to try to keep farming produce at a competitive price to benefit the farmers and that every free trade agreement the US has entered into they’ve insisted on removing “country of origin” statements from packaging so once we’re trading with them even putting “British beef”on a package will be against the loving law.

Someone made a half arsed effort to call me out on not buying British beef but I pulled a Liz Truss and said that it was an absolute DISGRACE that we import 98% of our chickpeas

I mean the countries hosed but we might as well enjoy ourselves.

I agree with you except on the union front I would argue the RMT and ASLEF are pretty handy. loving hell ASLEF managed to wangle their members at one company an extra two grand a year by agreeing a deal they didn't have to honour the other week.

I have no idea but I'm glad, let horny youngsters wank it in peace.

The only remotely defensible argument for adult content filtering is that porn teaches unhealthy relationship habits - but even then the answer to that should be "let's do something about that then" and not "let's ban it because that's definitely going to work this time".

They should make it so you can only watch retro porn in your formative years not the hypersexual formulaic HD brutality that seems to be pumped out on the regular now. Never saw Ron Jeremy slapping women about.

Have any of you lot used a third party site like Mobile Phone Direct to get a phone contract? Supposedly I can save like £200 over 2 years if I get a contract through them and claim the cashback every 6 months but that seems....suspicious.

In storm news, Bristol isn't too bad (although I'm not looking forward to my cycle to work tomorrow) but sounds like my parents place on the coast near Glasgow is getting absolutely battered.

I have. They are legit. Just make sure you are on the ball and set up calendar alerts based on what the claim schedule is for your cashback (they have different schedules based on your contract length). I got a Samsung Galaxy S8 and got a 'free' PS4 Pro chucked in with £50 claimed back every three months a few years back. When my alert went off on my phone I just downloaded a PDF of my O2 bill and attached it to my claim email, they paid it out within a week. My friend who is super anal looked into them when he wanted a new phone, having been stubbornly with Vodafone for over a decade, and discovered they are a subsiduary of AO.

It is worth remembering Mortgage advisors are less inclined to do what is best for you and more inclined to do what makes them the most money. A recommended mortgage advisor quoted us a full 50k under what the bank directly offered us with our deposit when house hunting. Yes the rate wasn't as favourable as it perhaps could have been, but it got us the house we wanted.

Definitely shop around, as others have said it is odd that your property value has dropped when it has seemingly gone up across the country.
