Being British but having lived and worked abroad, I see quite a few things that are strange about how the UK has developed very fast in some ways but is archaic in others. For instance, despite being the first country to have a proper railway, we still don't have a high speed train service, something my Chinese friend still can't believe. As such, what are other things/ways in which the UK is way behind other countries on things you might not expect? submitted by /u/DullInflation6 to r/AskUK [link] [comments]

Happy Friday fellow cat lovers. I have some very exciting and uplifting news on Stella - an abused elderly kitty that had been confined to a bathroom for 10 years and had severe matting and mobility issues. Here is the original post for anyone who wants to reference it:

I've had enough, sorry for this rant. I've lived in Glasgow for nearly 20 years, from an immigrant family and I very much don't look Scottish. Though for most years of my life, the people around me were so sweet, kind, had banter - people made Glasgow. A lot of people have told me I'm part of the city; adopting the accent, banter, friendly mannerisms and whatever else. But over the past 2 years; on the bus or in a shop or just on the street; more and more racists are crawling their way into my surroundings, hurling insults, belittling me, being complete assholes. Tonight I really had enough, some idiot coming up to me on the bus and just chatting racist nonsense, then squared up. Honestly wanted to break his teeth on the spot but alas I just distanced myself and just got off. Venting heavy i guess, but up until recently i was proud to call myself a Glasweigan. Not so much anymore. Just feeling conflicted. Wee ed

It’s had a small front put on it but I feel it’s so plain and boring. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it a bit nicer? I can’t afford a nicer house atm for my first home so most of them look like this submitted by /u/Icy-Recognition-5422 to r/DIYUK [link]
