Kinda agree. Good when smooth, but when bad it’s bad.

I once booked a train months in advance. Got there and the train got cancelled. No notice just not there. I waited in queue for 30 mins. Person told me catch the next one in 1 hour.

I did. The conductor on the train came along and threaten to throw us off as it was not the correct ticket. There was just no rational option.

Otherwise I love the train.

Thanks had a quick scout of them both.

Problem I am finding is lots of people have moved away from blogs etc. Their content is very much insta/facebook/youtube. Which is exactly what I am trying to escape. I want slower interest based content rather than fast picture/video based engagement driven stuff.

I know most people are gonna say sign of the times, but I feel some of the older stuff must exist.

Nice in an ideal world

But just as it’s not a woman’s job to teach men emotional skills, it’s not a gay persons either.

Others can’t keep carrying the burden for this.

Ah cooked the golden goose and now complaining. It’s as bad as cinemas/Hollywood, they got greedy took advantage and when people moved away wondered why. Make a product people like and they will use it. They don’t care they are losing viewers. They care they arnt making money.

I suppose it’s looking at it like that is the same as the speedcam argument. Is it safety or revenue. At least you have some oversight and a due process when that’s wrong though.

I wonder if these people could contact the fire department as it has to be some kind of hazard giving false reports.

£500 is excessive. And fighting guests over your scummy practice. Not on.

Hope a regulator steps in and looks at this but not hopeful.

Vital proteins take themselves a bit serious. I’d send it back. Terms and conditions my @$$.

Idiot behavior from self important companies should not be rewarded.

Anyone know of any dedicated communities on here or good resources (uk) for day to day frugality or at least less giving money to millionaires?

I used to use the likes of hot deals etc but it’s now just a glorified sales platform. I am talking actual communities that share suggestions and support.

Just as this this guy says

you dont get a ban for the first instance. This shows repeated offences. Lucky she has the money for a driver.

I have little patience for serial speeders. Gripe all you like, but speed limits save lives.

I am pretty decent at the no spending. Have been for a few years. I hate waste and consuming crap for the sake of it.

I do need to go back to basics. I still need to purchase and live somewhat conveniently, as I have a family. Some stuff that’s worked for me. Bulk buying once a year. Anything non perishable toilet roll, soap powder etc. I buy a years work and shove it in the garage. Agin bulk with items like salt, vinegar, oil. I then decant to smaller bottles. There are lots of sauces I can make myself. I am good at using what’s about for salad dressings. Use leftovers. I really enjoy them anyway.

There are more, I just can’t think. It’s still buying but buying less and smarter is my start.
Any other ideas that anyone can think of?

So how do we start rallying against this? Any ideas? I am trying to spend less and also choose less convenience products. Additionally I choose bargain shops, B&M even Aldi etc where I can. It’s not a big step but it’s a message.

What other options or actions can we undertake to start tackling this greedy behaviour?
