Jaeluni Asjil posted:Trying to remember what 42 was like, but it was many years ago.... you must have an age/feeling spreadsheet? HopperUK posted:People look different as they age, but honestly I think it's more that you feel it internally and people respond to that. I dunno, I really prefer being a middle-aged woman to being a young woman, that's for sure i guess you begin to benefit from like mum energy? little boys know that mum will bollock them and you're beginning to benefit from being kind of adjacent to that.

skiing is great and I'm great at it. My skiis are very old though and I could do with some new ones. If I'd emigrated to somewhere like canada... skiing would be part of my everyday life.

Isomermaid posted:There's the Sheffield ski center that burnt down. Every so often a news report comes out about how someone's going to really, honestly, reopen it soon and they always mention the fire but are careful not to say the word "insurance". That is very weird. I've skied there, and the Edinburgh one. But I went to the ipswich one... and it had burnt down? Like I never really understood how that could happen... but now more than one?

fuctifino posted:https://twitter.com/guardiannews/status/1566349809736466432 the article posted:Goods exports from the UK to the EU reached £16.9bn in May, the highest level since figures started in 1997. It is, however, smaller traders who have particularly struggled with the additional paperwork required for exports after Brexit. Bit surprised about that figure. What, presumably larger traders, are accounting for this overall increase if all the small ones like this brewery are seeing their exports obliterated?

I thought rishi pretty much already conceded, saying he'd serve under the new government and whatnot. Or is that just the media framing and they both said the same?

presumably wetherspoons and so on are being hit by these rises? Obviously more insulated but not immune apparently wetherspoons have 900 pubs? Put in a conservative 50k energy price increase per pub. 900 x 50k is 45million? am I being dumb? 45million sounds like a lot for wetherspoons to soak up given all the other stuff and I reckon most of their pubs could be seeing twice that increase.

sinky posted:Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my country is dying. But that 5,6,7, 250 quid to 500 quid, who does that actually represent? People on 20-40k a year? more or less? Is this enough to buy off anyone? Its obviously no good on its own, as the energy price increases are like a factor of 5-10 higher. And its wanky lever pulling rather than actual problem solving but I dont care about a few millionaires saving 2grand, and neither I suspect do they. Clearly this wont satisfy or in any way help the vast majority of poorest people, but does it even help the middle classes? Noone is going to be impressed or happy with this.

Danger - Octopus! posted:I think about this a lot because during covid, cornershops were a lifeline for a lot of folk and (around my way at least) are the only place you can easily find paypoints to put money on for example your prepayment meter. If they all start shutting down, people who rely on them for their shopping or bill payments etc are going to be absolute screwed even harder than they already are. our local one saved toilet paper for people he recognised! should get an mbe or something for that imho

presumably if you put a bunch of windfall taxes on energy companies and soak them in various ways in the short term, it'll be much less fuss and cheaper to nationalise them in a couple of years time?

Lady Demelza posted:One issue with solar panels is that people don't have a right to light, so they're not a reason to stop a developer building a 20 storey high-rise that blocks the light, or even just your neighbour building an extension/planting conifers that completely shade them. The exception is if the panels have been there 20 years, and even then it's on the homeowner to make the objection. I was intending to have solar panels on one roof of my house, but neighbours took one look at me and planted a line of massive trees to hide me, right to the south.

No I dont think so. I dont think you can sue each other for so much money. I've cut down several trees recently, on my property, but they were already dead. Needed to apply for an exemption for permission which they granted cos trees dead. This is in a conservation area where there are implicit TPOs on every tree with fatter trunk than 75mm at shoulder height. So these trees dont yet count but I can't kill them cos they aint mine. Its a bit odd that you can't kill trees but you can plant them.
