big warehouse of worldwide stollen treasure.
It's actually Produced in China FOR British and Polish company.
I just don't like carrying cash. I lose it. Or spend it. Or both. I just hate fumbling around with it. But if someone digs it, do you. I just prefer credit and a tiny wallet. And pay it off of course.
Emission standards are very low, with truly horrible diesel ruining the air nearby regularly.
I only ever use cash for tips.
If I pay for restaurant or other service bill with plastic, I always write ZERO on the tip line, and give the tip in cash instead.
Whoever looks at the receipt probably thinks I am a cheapskate, but I don't care.
stereotomy says
Don't tip when you're in Europe or Canada.
It's OK to tip generously, though, except in some Asian places where it's considered an insult.
I make it a habit to be a generous tipper. You can call me a stupid fool, I don't care. It's sort of a karma thing.
stop empowering these rich corps to screw you over further by being “generous”.
And I expect they are on every kind of public assistance that exists.
I bet a lot of them are supported here by Saudi oil money. Maybe even most of them.

I got back on Wednesday, and found this excellent magazine in Heathrow called The Critic https://thecritic.co.uk/
In a 2022 interview, Russian dissident podcaster Konstantin Kissin pointed out to media host John Anderson that, "In Russia last year, 400 people were arrested for things they said on social media." Duh, we know... Russia bad (repeat often). Kissin is privileged to live in Britain, in the free world where, in 2021 only 3,300 people were arrested for things they said on social media. That sounds great, unless you're good at math, which, thankfully, is less and less of a problem in the free world. After all, math is racist. (here's a video of Kennesaw State University students working out that 15 x 4 = 48).
However, if we did embrace math and explored facts, Goethe's quote might strike much closer to home. For example, we might work out that in Great Britain, the cradle of western democracy, almost 17 times as many people per capita were arrested in 2021 over social media posts as in Russia! John Anderson was incredulous at what Kissin was telling him and he probed about what kind of posts could get you arrested in Britain. Kissin did offer one example. Another example recently made the news: one Michael Chadwell, a 62 year-old former Policeman earned himself a 6-month prison sentence over a meme he posted, not on social media but in a private WhatsApp group shared with former colleagues.
The meme showed a picture of multi-colored parrots and a picture of children from different ethnic groups with a question asking why diversity is celebrated in animal species and not humanity? A comment below the meme said, "Because I've never had a bike stolen out of my front yard by a parrot." Chadwell's offence was not in what he actually posted but what could be implied by it. Whatever.. good enough to give the man a six-month prison term! Thank you for your service, officer! ...
What if they’re freer than we are?
Could it be that Russia does have a respectable degree of media freedoms and that dissenting voices do get heard? Is that degree greater or lesser than what we have in the west? I don't know, but the book in which I published some of this research was banned in our free world, only 5 weeks after it was published in 2017: all it took was a letter from a US State Department lawyer to Amazon.com, and the book was disappeared (it is now only available from the RedPill Press).
Of course, I did fare much better than Julian Assange who has been rotting for years in a London dungeon, not far from where Bill Browder lives and works with various think tanks and NGOs that contrive much of the mud that is slung daily in the direction of Russia and her president by our media. Incidentally, Julian Assange has not been convicted of any crime. But whatever... we are free, Russia bad, China bad, Iran bad... We know that all this is true because our 'reputable media' told us so.

UK Covid Vaccine Investigation 'Unexpectedly' Postponed
It took less time to develop Covid Vaccines than it does to start the investigation
The hearings have been postponed to occur ‘after the general election.’ ...
Why the connection to the ‘general election’? Is that related to the incumbents’ desire to keep their elected positions, which could be threatened by the ‘vaccine inquiry’? Are there hopes that COVID vaccine skeptics like Andrew Bridgen will lose their districts?
Are they hoping the general public will forget “Covid vaccines” by then?
Will there ever be an honest official “Covid inquiry”?

Don't go using that brain of yours now - you wouldn't want to be called a racist!
Yep, that's the Nazi party of Palestine. The hint is how "Palastina" is spelled.

- almost no homeless, saw just one so far
- lots of trash though
- prices seem reasonable, a bit lower than SF, but that's because the pound is so low against the dollar
- the majority of people on the street are clearly not English; they are from everywhere else on earth
I did not know there was a Saint Chad:
