I was thinking about what I'd do with the money, and came to the conclusion that what I'd find most satisfying is to find one big social problem that I could fix, knowing that I wouldn't need to fund-raise or get other people on-board, something I could just solve myself with personal wealth and the will to make a difference. So that's my question - what kind of big problems could be fixed with £100 million? submitted by /u/BigDumbGreenMong to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]

Do others not eat as much?

19 April 2024 @ 8:24 am

How just a bit of a trivial question on groceries. I spend about £60 a week on food for myself (this is everything in my groceries, not take outs). I keep coming across people saying that they spend £30 a week on food for one person, even some saying they spend £70-£80 to feed 3 people. I don’t see how that’s possible. It’s made me wonder if I eat more than others? I tend to have, breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between. Each of these meals are substantial, so not, for example, just toast for breakfast but a croissant and yoghurt and fruit etc. submitted by /u/GooseEasy7709 to r/AskUK [link]

What good comebacks can I use for an annoying Australian visitor?

19 April 2024 @ 7:56 am

I'm having to meet up with someone who keeps coming out with what I feel are very typical Australian comments. Sadly I can't get out of the meetup. So please help, what comebacks can I use?! Examples being: "Saw someone sunbathing in less than 15 degrees and had to laugh" "We live near Asia so have good Asian food every other restaurant, so I'm not fussed about Asian food in the UK" "I'm not going to miss Italian gelato [whilst in Florence] we can get that back home" "No I'm not surfing in Cornwall I can do that whenever I want at home. Yes I'm going to Cornwall to drink wine and eat seafood" Honestly it's just winding me up, he's going on like Australia is the best, like why leave then!? submitted by /u/lake_disappointment to

In-person events are back now, but it's important to keep in mind that virtual events didn't just come out of nowhere. Many of us were actually doing a lot of different online events even before they became popular. Many communities held hackathons, bug and issue triaging, webinars, and so on, as virtual events.
