I indeed witnessed this yesterday evening in Camberwell. What was more disturbing was the state of the gentleman's toe nails *shudders*

I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise!

Worse - parents who sit their happily whilst their little darling plays a game with the sound on. Teach them good manners FFS.

Passing a Money Shop in Forest Hill on the bus, I was astounded to see a large sign in the window offering short-term loans at 2961% APR.


I thought I must have misread it, but I've just looked up their website, which says:


Representative example: ?200 Loan. Total amount repayable in a single payment of ?259.98 in 28 days. Annual interest rate 390.94% (variable). 2961.4% APR representative.


And underneath that, it says


"Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems."


They're not f-ing joking, are they?


No wonder people who are already poor enough to need this kind of "service" spiral further and further into debt :( :( :(


Bastards.


Sorry, this probably isn't a tiny little thing, but it has certainly caused me enormous rage, irrational or not I have no idea.

The last tic tac in the box that resolutely refuses to come free from the bottom. Gentle tap with forefinger, nothing. Harder tap with forefinger and index finger, not even a minor movement. Bang box of table, nope still laughing at me. ARRRRRRGH, smashes box with hammer.

it was originally shorthand for expressing yourself online the humble bit meaning to convey that it was just your opinion not necessarily the correct answer. Please don't anyone come on here and say differently. I AM RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

    • I was lucky enough to go to Japan earlier in the year and late one night ended up having to drunkenly navigate my way back to the hotel using my phone. I was briefly nervous, then realised I was in Japan and they don't really do street crime/phone snatching and all was fine. My point being, I don't spend a lot of time worrying about safety in London, but I wonder if I/we have got so used to being on edge (holding bags/phones close) we don't give it much conscious thought. And yes, as mostly a pedestrian if there was less traffic crime my life would be a lot calmer!
    • There’s an interesting discussion to be had on the need for infrastructure generally and on bottlenecks in specific areas, as noted above. However on new houses specifically, I’ve never understood the infrastructure argument. The people to go in the new houses already exist and are already using infrastructure. Thanks to twenty years of under-building we’ve got millions of adults stuck living with parents, living in house shares, paying a fortune to rent cramped flats etc - that’s what a housing crisis is. They’re presumably all using road/trains, showering and weeing whilst doing so. Building them houses doesn’t necessarily increase the need for infrastructure much, if at all. The Abundance Agenda podcast is a great listen if you’re interested in this stuff.
