"In the UK, Google says it is seeing a clear increase in activity despite the fact that the country's lockdown measures have not been relaxed. The latest Google mobility report - which refers to last weekend - shows a marked increase in activity across the country. It said visits to parks were only 10% below normal, while they were around 50% lower at the beginning of the lockdown."

josh04 posted:If a friend tells you a humourous story about child naming it is always, 100% of the time, an urban myth. There is something about child-name urban myths which makes people determined to represent them as something they personally saw absolute proof of, despite them always being absolute bollocks. A guy I used to work would describe events that happened in viral videos as if they either happened to him or someone he knew.

Mebh posted:Been non stop operatic national pride style music playing from some street party for the last 2 hours. Just cut off now at exactly 10pm thank christ as it was really starting to grate. The gently caress is wrong with people? We're in a Labour stronghold in a mining/steel town and they all still buy massively into the poo poo Tory VE day propaganda. Honestly, I reckon people just need to let off steam in some way. They feel like this is socially acceptable.

Bobstar posted:British perfomative decorum. I was thinking about this once when out for a meal with people including my (extremely stereotypical American) boss' boss. A British person can pack far more rudeness into a sentence peppered with pleases and thank yous than this guy saying "hey could I get another beer?", but the latter would be judged rude for not having the ~~magic words~~. There is a weird distinction though. Americans use lots of "sir" and "maam" and "have a nice day" *fake smile*. I find that pretty off putting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9PSg0sQyfs

ThomasPaine posted:Seriously, more manageably sized regional cities are way better. The only bars I could find in London were overpriced cocktail places, old school capital P pubs, and chain places. All of them were overpriced and completely impossible to find a seat in on a Friday/Sat and usually closed by midnight. I'm sure there are clubs but I'm not a club kinda person and really like having somewhere to sit and talk poo poo getting steaming till the early hours, and that was hard to come by. I appreciate that it's so massive these places probably exist if you know where to look but I certainly couldn't find any. Honestly, you just didn't look hard enough.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...s-idUSKBN22X2WA (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has instructed civil servants to make plans to end UK's reliance on China for vital medical supplies and other strategic imports in light of the coronavirus outbreak, The Times newspaper reported on Friday bit.ly/2AIukv1. The plans, which have been code named ‘Project Defend’, include identifying Britain’s main economic vulnerabilities to potentially hostile foreign governments as part of a broader new approach to national security, the newspaper reported, adding that the efforts are being led by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
