It's very reasonable, and I wouldn't hesitate to do this if it was a business trip. Many flights have been diverted to Manchester, partly because airlines with flights to Heathrow also have flights from Manchester, but are less li

Making a sacrifice, whether great or small, is a very common ethical behaviour. I refuse to make purchases on Amazon. Sometimes that's a minor inconvenience: perhaps the alternative has slower delivery. Sometimes purchasing elsewhere

That seems rather uncharitable. I looked through the comments as soon as I saw there wasn't a Celsius figure in the headline or first paragraph. One conversion comment is on-topic, even though any replies to it are most likely to be of

So about 12 people were curious but not too surprised when our American friend told us her experience of a school shooting at her university. She was in a different building to the shooter. The room was shocked into silence when she said &q

A fine is a sentence, and I think it's a big deal that the law is applied inconsistently between e.g. Mary and Mohammed.

I have downvoted your comment because of "the media makes sure to shuffle it under the carpet". These cases are widely reported in national media. I wasn't familiar with the Finnish politician, but it's easy to find cove

I've never been in an American datacentre, and power provision looks more complicated than in Europe, but I guess there is 240V power available. That should mean there are UPSs already available, although possibly they don't come

I think a big difference for low-income people is the cheaper end of the menu. McDonald's (UK) has a hamburger for £1.19, or even a bacon double cheeseburger for £2.89. A happy meal is £3.89. You could reasonably feed the whole famil

I've had one for almost 10 years, but I didn't have a dryer at all before that so I can't compare it to a 'normal' dryer. My only comparison is commercial-grade dryers on trips outside Europe, where I've been
