   I discovered her wider music during the early days of COVID. I played her album Faster Than The Speed of Night on repeat. No world-class lyrics but she had such a beautiful unique voice, I got hooked. I can't listen to her music now wi

   And Northerners have real, genuine grievances with the south (ie London/Westminster) and it's not for us to wag our fingers and say they ought to have open arms and love one and all. Understanding is key. Agree with the bias. They

   I have experience in what you describe, as I live far from London in a place I'm not from. Yes it can be very insular and can take many years to even begin being treated like a local (it's not until you have a kid, so I'm tol

    I remember the brief period when they told us that the self service checkout weren't recording video. Then they just said oh actually they do now and nobody battered an eye lid If the tech is put there it's just a matter of time.

    I'm tired of reading job adverts for 3 people's jobs (frontend, backend, DevOps) all in one, all lead/staff/senior but not the salary to match any of that, not even close

    Cope list: - Quality matters more than speed - Average speeds are similar anyway - US is big - It would be expensive - Nobody needs multi gig speed anyway Those are the kind of excuses a "declining" country like the UK would come
