It's actually this bill - https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3197 - which has been completely passed already (received royal assent).

> by law, staff get paid 100% of any service charge and gratuities with no deductions If only that was true. Staff are only currently entitled to 100% of cash tips - service charges paid by card are not counted, and often form part of th

Yeah, it seems like the journalist community shot themselves in the foot there. It's not just the limited effects of a single bar, but the fear that "this bar could be owned by a newspaper" would create amongst inspectors. Kn

North London, near Turnpike Lane. I think all the nurseries I enquired at in the area charge somewhere between £1200 and £1700 a month full time. Our previous nursery in Brixton was £1625 a week for a full time place. It probably helps that

There are cheaper options though - my nursery in zone 3 North London is "only" £1500 a month.

I think this is where we are with a lot of clean tech. It's really obvious to everyone that something must be done . It's even fairly simple to derive from first principles what that something should be - lots of renewables, ma

I suspect it's primarily due to the legislators simply not understanding or caring about these issues. We see it time and time again with issues around technology - the people writing the legislation just aren't interested enough

This really pisses me off. European harmonised standards are effectively legislation . You can't sell a product in the EU without complying with them. Yet they're behind a really expensive pay-wall. If you buy the standard from I

It's interesting - I follow various UK and Canadian subreddits, and you get almost the same rhetoric in both. "This country is much worse than it used to be, I'm going to emigrate soon" Except in the UK, they're goi

Hotels suck for other reasons. If you're travelling as a group you often don't want to have separate hotel rooms with no shared space. If you're travelling as a family you might have kids that need to go to bed before you. Th

I think the resentment comes from the fact that, for many large cities, the tourism aspect is a very small part of the city. Take for example the city I grew up in - Edinburgh. Tourism contributes £1.3bn to the cities economy, but the city

WFH means no commuting. Someone could have childcare arranged for their working hours, but if they're suddenly leaving the house an hour earlier and getting home an hour later, they'll need to make other arrangements.

Honestly, as someone who's commuted 10s of thousands of miles by bike, I disagree. Weather (well, rain and snow) is absolutely a big deal when cycling. Cycling in cold is OK, cycling in freezing rain is absolutely horrible. You can get

When comparing "flying then" to "flying now", you need to look at the real cost of the flights. Yes, the experience in economy class has got worse, but the cost of the ticket has also significantly dropped. In 2021 dolla

Until perhaps 10 years ago, drum brakes were standard as the rear brakes of almost every car. They lasted pretty much the lifetime of the car.

Maybe you have a point with religion, but housing and banking are a necessary evil for everyone, regardless of their views on the market. I've contributed to the price of housing by virtue of existing and bidding it up in my city. That

Obsidian makes a big deal of their graph view, but in the time I've been using it I've never touched it. I really like the WYSIWYG-ish markdown editor and the search seems to actually work. Those are the killer features for me. I

That's only true of plug-in hybrids. "Hybrid" just means a car with an electric and ICE drive train. Most hybrids aren't plug-in hybrids. They have no ability to charge their battery except from the engine.

The big reason for this is thermodynamics. A conventional internal combustion engine car has to convert chemical energy to kinetic energy - the absolute best theoretical efficiency of this might be 70%, but in practice it's more like 3

In London there's been a big move over the last decade to remove big urban roundabouts for precisely that reason. They make sense for vehicles, but they make mixed use areas much more dangerous. Roundabouts are slowly being converted t

That average is for all domiciles, so will include apartments - even studios. I would say a "standard" 3 bed house is bigger - usually 1000-1200 square feet.

Grid stability is essentially a different thing than local power availability. You lose your power if a tree falls on your power line, or if your local transformer fails. Sad for you, but completely unrelated to grid stability. Grid instabi
