Sitting at the station, teenager starts playing his phone loud. I asked him where his headphones were, he replied “you have headphones so why is it my problem” Me: because I can hear your phone through my headphones … He didn’t turn it his sound off, so I took my headphones off and played my audiobook (on content marketing; which I imagine is very boring if you aren’t working in business or marketing), and my phone was louder. Explained to passing people that I was showing the teenager how it’s done. He lasted three minutes before turning his sound off and leaving the station. 💪💪 submitted by /u/chunkycasper to r/BritishSuccess

I was paying child maintenance for two children (6 and 7). In 2024 I asked for a DNA test on one of my two children, which the Child Maintenance Service organised. I think I paid around £300 at the time, and then they did it. This was following a tip from a mutual family friend that one of my children may not be mine as my girlfriend had been having an affair with a guy from the football club. The test came back a match and I chalked it up to just losing £300 on someone gossiping. I didn't think anything of it for a few months until the mutual family friend asked me again. They provided some evidence this time, which I can't share or I'll reveal who they are. I asked, again, for a DNA test to be done. Child Maintenance resisted as I already had one, I had to escalate through my MP and the test was organised again. This time, however, my ex did not attend the testing. It had to be rebooked 3 tim

Adding to the black cab pile on but when I fly I tend to use the taxi rank at Heathrow over uber or other ride sharing apps. This may change now. Flew into Heathrow this morning at 5am after a 14 hour flight. Proceeded to get a taxi from the rank. Gave address and off we went. Nearing completion of the ride - the cabby proceeds to tell me that next time I use a taxi to tell the driver to take me to a point near to my home and then guide him/her from there. The reason: I live just outside a boundary where drivers can state it was a local drop off and avoid having to rejoin the local queue at the back. Apparently a £70 fare from Heathrow is not sufficient and may make the driver “grumpy” and I was fortunate that my cabby was “tired”. I am all for supporting black cabs with my custom but surely this is not my problem? It isn’t up to the consumer to adjust their instructions and guide a black cab where the whole poin

With ice cream rather than custard because it's over 30c outside here already. Hard to get suet here (China) so used butter instead. Four tbsp syrup, one tbsp treacle in the bottom, plus orange zest, and then a couple of tbsp syrup heated in the microwave and poured over the top once tipped out, just in case there wasn't enough sugar in it. Gave it to them straight after school, then sent them outside to run off the ma
