Update: My mum drove through two people on a pelican crossing and crashed into another car.

I raised my concerns with Motability multiple times. I told them she wasn't fit to drive. I told them that she was basically uninsurable by private companies and that was keeping her off the road. Having spoken with police she drove through a pelican crossing at 50mph in a pelican crossing that has "20mph when lights are flashing." After hitting these two people she swerved lanes and hit an oncoming car, injuring another driver. She's put three people in hospital, excluding herself. She then tried to drive away from the scene before her car broke down about 30m down the road. Is there likely to be a criminal investigation or criminal component to this? Could she face prison time? My mother is being VERY cagey and secretive about what is going on. Is there any way I can stop her from getting another Motability car? I ended up screaming at her last night when I found her browsing motability

Have you spent years of your life thinking something is a certain thing, only to later discover (possibly in an awkward or hilarious manner) that you were, in fact, mistaken? I'll start: I discovered when I was at uni that a surprising number of people think the alcohol "Jim Beam" is in fact "Jim Bea**n**". submitted by /u/VermilionKoala to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]
AITAH because I called the police when my ex wouldn't let me leave after I broke up with her.

Found out my girlfriend was cheating on me. Broke up with her immediately. When I tried to leave her apartment she literally wouldn't get out of my way. I've seen enough tv shows to know what happens to me if I try to move her. So I grabbed my phone and recorded her completely uninjured and blocking my exit. I called 911 told them I was being held against my will. Gave her address. Went back to recording. I think she thought I was bluffing. Cops showed up. We were separated. Surprisingly she told the truth. The cops asked if I wanted to press charges. I said I just wanted to leave but I needed a copy of the report so she could not change the story after they fact. I've been hearing from mutuals that I'm an asshole for calling the cops on her. There were two people that knew I called the cops. I didn't tell anyone. So I made a public post in our friend group chat. I said that if everyone who was calling m

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy1xxywlw9o A pub landlord has said bank charges on card payments have got so high, he could employ another member of staff for the same amount. As a result, Alan Davies, who runs The Trumpet Inn near Ledbury and The Moon at Mordiford, said he was offering customers a 5% discount if they paid in cash. He says he loses £5 for every £50(10%), so gives a 5% discount to his locals for paying in cash. Can someone prove/disprove this financial logic. I really want to believe him but my "tax dodger" sense is tingling and think he may just be a bad business owner covering it up by blaming every economic constraint as his new retort and cash gives him the ability to make his books look better. Can someone do the breakdown his maths? Or is this motive for cash payments just good ol' fudging the bo

People of the UK, how have you lost weight?
28 January 2026 @ 8:51 am
Hello to all the fellow UKers who love eating 😂. In my late teens/early 20s I was very overweight but I managed to lose it all over the space of a few years and have mostly kept within a healthy weight. Its worth mentioning that I've had an unhealthy relationship with food since my teenage years when I was bullied, and am very prone to over eating if I'm stressed/bored/sad etc. I'm 37 now and have been in a relationship for 5 years which hasnt helped as I love cooking for us 😬. Mostly when my weight creeps up a bit I alter my eating habits and it goes back to normal, but I just weighed myself and I'm the heaviest I've been in years 😭 trying not to spiral but I live in fear of being properly big again - I was really unhappy and in my experience people don't treat you well when you're fat. I was considering something like weight watchers as I think I need some extra motivation this time round, is
Radiator size

Being the complete novice that I am, I didn’t consider what height my radiator would be installed at and presumed it would be smack bang in the middle. Is this 300mm rad way too small for the space it’s in? submitted by /u/ellis379 to r/DIYUK [link] [comments]
