I am pretty damn careful with my phones, and still managed to break 3 in the last 20 odd years (which I think is good going!) - one was knocked out my hands when someone bumped into me in the street, one slipped when I was showing a friend

I guess it keeps things uniform - would all jobs follow that pattern? All schools? Pubs? When would the lunchtime rush? I mean there could be some great benefits (spread out the rush hour crush) but I think it would cause more confusion tha

Years ago I worked in Soho and watched him paint a piece of gum outside my office - it was stunning and real piece of art. I got a few photos that evening. The next morning it had already been scrapped out - I imagine by an art collector of

Hey - guessing you are banned (or shadow banned) for making a 2nd account to comment on a thread/submission you posted on another account. Was there a good reason to do that?

My wife's uncle owns a 2nd hand book shop and also seeks booked by the foot. They are books that are well kept but with near zero resale value - which generally means religious texts and some training materials. Often they are books of

Not sure what the data source is for that map - but in my small part of Norfolk I know of 4 forest schools my kids could go to - plus if you click on the lower of the 2 blue dots over the map of the UK, it opens out to show you 61 schools.

I'd also guess that profitability is not spread evenly across all users, and certainly not across all countries. I'd guess a good chunk of us are worth £0 (or even negative) and then there is a long tail of increasing valuable use
