White or brown toast?

Toasted or not?

Anything else I should know about cucumber sandwiches?

Supreme court rejects Rishi Sunak’s plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

Can't we just deport the Tories to Rwanda instead?

Just how German are "German Christmas Markets"? in c/askuk@feddit.uk

OK, one thing I can tell you is that "baked beans with curry powder" is 100% NOT genuine for a German Christnas market.

Wenn Du Deutsch üben willst, dann lass uns anfangen...

I've never been to a "German Christmas Market" in the UK, but I'll be there in December, so if you can point me to one round NEL, I could check how much "German" is there.

I had a "German Bratwurst" in the UK once. The Bratwurst was OK, but the roll was a soft roll, which would be a no-go in Germany, I assume the "German Christmas Market" is similar, trying to copy, and getting it right up to a certain level.

They have been scraping the barrel for a long, long time.

Don't worry, it's just more money to make tax breaks for the rich!

So scrap chances of eceonomic growth for The North in favour of tax breaks for the rich? Sounds perfectly Tory for me. Do people up there still vote for those cunts?

We have a company like that here somewhere. When they have one job a year, they have to reduce hours, if they have two, they are doing OK, and if they have three, they have to work overtime like mad. Don't ask me what they are selling, though. It is big, runs on tracks, and fixes roads.

OK, time to make a shopping list:

Popcorn
More popcorn
A head of lettuce
A blonde wig
A pair of googly eyes.

London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says council in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 11 points 11 months ago

While it is a waste, it is necessary not to let things like that slip. They built something they did not have a permission for, as simple as that. Just like when you decide to expand your home with an annex without a permit.

They got permission to build a house based on plans A, and actually built a house based on plans B. And by the looks of it, we are not talking about the building being 5cm to wide in one direction (which had led to a tear down order here in one case), but quite a number of massive violations.

Well, they had a good plan that they got permission for to build. It is not the council's fault that they actually built something else.

Correct term to address a mayor and council members from the UK? (feddit.uk)

I'm invited to a gala dinner hosted by our mayor for the mayor and some council members of our twinned town in the UK. As I will have some talk to both the British mayor and the council members, what are the correct terms to respectfully address them in their ranks and functions?

More than half of UK children do not read in their spare time, survey reveals in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago

They read the books that the schools makes them read, and just assume that all the other books are just as boring, bad, and waste of time.

Earned income taxed twice as heavily as capital gains for some in UK, study finds in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

Is anyone surprised by this? The luxury travel and house renovations for the politicians are paid by those who live off those capital gains, not by those who have to work for their money.
