I’m sure that like me, whenever you walk around your town or city, you see lots of Mercedes, Volvos, Range Rovers, BMW, Audis, etc. Whenever I look see how much these cars cost to finance they’re always £500/600 or £700 mark. How much money do people need to be earning to justify spending that much money on a car before any other costs? After insurance, road tax, parking permits, upkeep, fuel, and ever expanding low emission zones just owning one of these cars must be approaching £1k per month… Please help me to understand how this is a good use of money and why is it considered normal? submitted by /u/Fuxio to r/AskUK [link]

I (30F) came back from Japan about two months ago and brought home an expensive bottle of sake I specifically picked after doing a sake tasting class. I'm not a big drinker, so I chose something I genuinely liked and that my husband would enjoy. It was meant as a "for us" thing. I also had an unopened bottle of German wine that a friend gifted me three months ago. My husband and I had multiple conversations where he asked if he could give the sake to his father, his cousin, or his friends, and I said a strict no every single time. Not vaguely, not jokingly, very clearly. He knew it was sentimental and partially a souvenir. He also refused to drink it the one time I opened it because he had a headache, so I had about 20 ml and left the rest untouched. Fast forward to three days ago: I'm away from home, and he has friends over after a pub night. I didn't even consider that he would touch the sake or the wine because

I only just finished this this morning 😭. If anyone has ever done this jigsaw, you'll know how much of an absolute ball ache it is. submitted by /u/ah_double_bollocks to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]

My girlfriend loves Greg Davies, so I thought I’d surprise her with tickets to see him next March. Anyway, I’m halfway through the booking thinking this is going great for once (fuck ticketmaster in general) then I get the confirmation email…and it says March 2027. Not 2026. The year was written in font size 2, tucked away like it’s some sort of secret. Who books stand up comedy gigs that far in advance? So now I’m sat here with tickets for a show that won’t happen for over a year. Technically a lovely gift, but also completely useless for the foreseeable future. Do I still give her the tickets and make a joke out of it? Or just hold onto them quietly and get her something more immediate for now, then gift them to her next year? She’s got a good sense of humour so she’d probably find it funny, but part of me feels like it’s a bit of a flop as a present. Curious what others would do.

Our marble countertop has snapped after someone lightly lent on it. It appears it was built without a support for the overhang. Does anyone have any suggestions one smart ways to fix this without paying £3000-£5000 for a full counter top replacement? There is clearly value in the marble even though it’s snapped. submitted by /u/BeautifulSoupz to r/DIYUK [link]
