This was on Scotswood Road in Newcastle. After spending a good few minutes stuck behind drivers merging *far too early* I decided to [very courteously] work my way up to the merge point; stuck to 25 in a 50 so I could anticipate anyone deciding to weave out. Thank christ I did, because our boi in this HGV seemed to believe the Highway Code was beneath him. In case anyone was wondering, he did indeed re-enter the right lane once the light turned green. gotta love this country.

95% of the time, it’s used as a term of endearment. Your name is, say, Michael, and a colleague wants to be friendly so they call you Mike. You then in a serious tone say “My name is Michael, not Mike, not Mikey. Michael. Please don’t call me Mike again” I just witnessed this in the office. Isn’t it a bit intense? I know we should respect people’s names. But it’s not like the guy was calling an Asian guy ‘Luke’ instead of his real name, Lu. Something like Michael/Mike is just a shorthand. Usually used by people who like you. I don’t get it. submitted by /u/ApprehensiveRun1382 to r/AskUK [link]

It's not to everyone's taste but this is my meadow garden. It's cared for with nature in mind, and the philosophy that we borrow and share the space with other creatures. No pesticides, no deterrents, everything in harmony. The veg is protected by the frogs and toads - lettuce, peas, beans all remaining untouched by virtue of the amphibian army. All compost is home made. It isn't based around planting and has cost next to nothing except time. It was overgrown with brambles and grass when I moved in. Some might say it's still overgrown! I try to balance being able to use the space for family life (kids, dog etc) with

What was their objection? Was there actually a good reason for it, or were they just being disruptive? What happened next? submitted by /u/JamesBTarn to r/AskUK [link] [comments]

I grew up watching Ant and Dec with SMTV and then Saturday Night Takeaway, and I loved the fact that they were competent and professional while still being really laid back and natural. That was until they got consumed by the ITV Mafia and Simon Cowell Cinematic Universe. I can't really work out exactly what went wrong, but they became so watered down and overly scripted and lost all their charm, in my opinion. They would either seem to pander to parents and young children, or they'd just sell out (having half of SNT taken up with competitions and product placements still depresses me). I'm a Celebrity was probably the closest they stayed to themselves, but far from perfect. Since they started their podcast and I hesitantly gave it a go, I noticed they were much more like they used to be (albeit more mature). Their sense of humour and personalities shines through more and they seem much more like the early to mid 2000s era
