What’s your loose connection to someone famous (or infamous)?

I have two (the first is appreciably niche): (Famous) - my Mum’s cousin’s husband’s second cousin is Roy Keane. My brain hurts trying to figure out my relation to him (if anything). (Infamous) - my great aunt’s GP was Harold Shipman. Apparently, he was rather nice and she was shocked when the news came out, but I wasn’t overly surprised at that reaction as I’m sure he operated on charm for the most part. I also spent a solid amount of time with Colin, Rachel and Susie from Countdown - all really lovely, if a slight surprise at that re Rachel. I also walked past Stephen Mulhern in Chiswick - I gave him that British face of acknowledgement and he replied with “you alright, matey”. submitted by /u/Major-Feed5214 to r/AskUK

For those who saw my original post a few days ago, thank you all for the incredible support. LINK TO THE ORIGINAL POST: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/s/dSFQifezR1 A lot of people asked me to name the company. It’s Centauri Health Solutions. They claim to be a "compassionate healthcare advocacy" company, but their corpoStarmer hints at World Cup Bank Holiday as ‘England only win under Labour government’

I’m a builder. The amount of jobs that we go to and see structural points being held up by absolute millimetres is crazy. People sleeping underneath steels/roofs that haven’t been installed properly... happens more often than what you think! submitted by /u/Necessary-Trash-8828 to r/AskUK [link] [comments]

Estate agent called my withdrawal "a made up excuse" - is this attitude normal?

Updated: I added one more piece of context. -- Long time lurker, first time buyer, and this whole process has left a bad taste in my mouth. We made an offer on a property and got into the conveyancing process. During the solicitor's enquiries stage, a few things came up: An internal wall had been removed to create open plan living with no building regulations consent and no documentation, the seller said they weren't aware of any work being carried out. A chimney breast had been removed (pre-seller's ownership) again with no paperwork, though an indemnity policy was in place from the seller's own purchase; though a redditor made a great comment that said "The chimney work predates ownership but the liability transfers." Original electrical inspection report (EICR) from 2021 rated the property "Unsatisfactory" with multiple C2 (potentially dangero
