Because the UK did Wacky Warehouses and they were awful.

They also complain about parents drinking while supervising children (I'm sure I can find the East Dulwich Forum threads about this).

I saw plenty of Harry and Hermiones for world book day last year. Was massive with my daughter's year - she's 13 so post the first book and film waves.

FFS I mean Stephen, sorry.

They'll reboot with new actors when the tone of books changes, is my prediction. Unlike Steven I think it's too big to ever get cancelled.

On the other hand, my 13yo just started her third watch through of the 110 episodes* of Superstore having watched Brooklyn 99 6 times.

*While typing this my brain has worked out this is half the length of the proposed Potter series. My mind is blown that they think this will work.

I'm again reminding these people that we live in a Christian country and Jesus was really fucking clear on this sort of thing.

When salted caramel isn't umami enough.

(I suspect it's nice but better without the faffing)

That's just consistent with old fashioned pissoirs though?

"I don't want to make eye contact with weeing men" what next will you complain about? The smell of cheese and surly waiters?

Let me get this right: investors (professional investors) are paying a 100%ish premium to companies that own bitcoin, rather than just, you know, buying bitcoin directly?

They get friends hand me downs.
But there's not really any point as Google says 13 and up can turn off parental supervisor when they want.

Yes they could, if they really want to. But that's not changed by Monzo telling parents where their kids are spending money so by that argument it's not a problem.

I guessing with at least implicit permission though. Since you know where she was.

Yeah, I think it is. To be clear we're out in SE London, so saying you're wandering about the neighbourhood and then travelling across town is a big difference.

Sounds about as much fun as an email tool on my TV.

Their own money - yes (mostly, I think it's useful to stop younger kids spending their birthday money on sweets). But where they've been? No. Because they say they're going to the park and then an hour later they're at Camden Tesco .

It's useful to track them when they're out.

But a lower birthrate can be caused by more (older) families staying in central London, meaning fewer homes for young couples to move into and make babies in.

That's come back, hence central London boroughs closing schools LR&C

We use readings written by other people at weddings, why is that different? (I mean, there's a quality aspect but that's different)

Since colonising is the world's biggest ever theft, the only acceptable theft is stealing from English people. Obviously.

Also shipping CO2 cost of anything that comes on a big boat is very small.
