The advent of cheap flights made holidays within Europe affordable to most people. As a consequence, traditional UK holiday destinations became much less popular. Over time old-fashioned guest houses, B&Bs and cheap hotels transitioned

Those people may be perfectly happy with such an outcome though?

I believe it is common with some nationalities (S Korea, for example) to study to the point of perfection but be very reluctant to speak another language outside of a classroom situation. As a UK citizen, we have the opposite problem.

The amount of money one can earn as a professional sports player has also multiplied so the incentive to practice has multiplied also. If I spent my youth playing darts 8 hours a day I would be considered rather foolish, nowadays not so muc

You are still relatively young and anything could happen in the next 20 years. Sometimes you just need to persevere until an opportunity presents itself or you just get plain lucky. A couple of good years can give you a buffer that sets you

It looks like you arrived at the correct conclusion eventually, that producing your own expert content would pay off over the longer term. Also, that chasing traffic can have negative outcomes.

If only there was a way we could print some money to fix this... The current state of the UK is similar to a rented flat where the tenants know they'll soon be moving without the need of a reference.

Last time I had to contact HMRC involved a 5 hour wait in the call queue. However, the person who eventually answered was extremely helpful and understanding. Even gave a personal email address in case I needed to follow up.

One day you'll be having a conversion with someone who obviously does have kids and when they finally come up for breath whilst telling you all about them, they'll ask if you have kids too. Be prepared for an odd reaction when you

My dad locks himself of accounts on a weekly basis. Paper is the only system that is anyway reliable. Ultimately, the only 100% system is me, although not always convenient. He used to manage fine when he could use the same password for eve

As it was explained to me, flouride will work in repairing microscopic areas of decay so long as the surfaces of your teeth are ultra clean. My dentist insists that I see the hygienist every 3 months for descaling, cleaning and basic checks

The UK Govt managed to squander every opportunity that was given to them, and I say this as a tory/leave voter.

I think it's generally accepted in business that the people who complain the most are those that pay the least. We've had a few low cost carriers go out of business in the UK with a significant number of comments remarking on how

No, 'gamed' as in mass blocking one's competitor's results. If you think ads are bad you should take a peep into the world of 'negative seo'. I can assure you that any solution you can think of that will improv

It was removed because it was being gamed from the outset. The workable alternative would be a 'Social Credit' system where some domains can be blocked if enough of the 'right people' want them blocked. Google running a

Steaming services have become the very thing they were supposed to replace. The only advantage they have is that you can drop in and out of subscriptions, although, I suspect, it won't be long before they move towards 12 month lock-ins

Agree, I've had both a Revolt account and a Wise account. My Revolut account evaporated into thin air with no response from their so-called 'support' channel. I became locked-out of my Wise account for some trivial reason, ma

Maybe true but, for the rest of the world, you're still the 'go-to' place where medical miracles can happen. Money had something to do with this.

This may be correct but I think most of Threads early adopters do know it's a facebook/meta product. There is a market for a Twitter kind of app that isn't Twitter and Meta were slow off the mark (no pun) when you think abut

Public utility companies were operating very inefficiently at the time, the motives behind privation obviously had a political element but there was some good intention behind it. In hindsight, much stricter regulation regarding reinvestmen
