    Why people (myself included) accept cold food from Greggs. It’s supposed to be hot and you wouldn’t accept cold food anywhere else.

    Because a cold steak bake is better than a hot stake bake

    And a steak bake of any temperature is better than no steak bake.

    A hot OR cold steak bake is much better than a warm one, for sure.
    A warm one is marginally better than none however, that can change depending on degree of hunger.

    Their argument is that if it’s kept hot, it’s subject to VAT.

    Hot or not, it’s still overpriced crap and the only way I’d buy anything like a steak bake is if it was half the price and from Iceland or Farmfoods, or whoever sells them frozen.

    The only difference is sitting or take away. I get charged the same whether its cool - can be eaten immediately without blistering the inside of my mouth to volcanic. This involves blistering the inside as well as scalding the lips and chin generally as the gravy is runnier..
    In my experience you don't want the food hot unless you are taking it for a 20 minute walk.

    You are correct that VAT must be charged on all food that is eaten in, but there is a differentation when it comes to takeaways.

    VAT must be charged on hot takeaways but not on cold food or drink items, and if an item such as a sausage roll is hot simply because of it being recently removed from the oven then no VAT need be charged. Greggs sell freshly baked products, not hot held products.

    Whenever I was forced into buying anything from Greggs i felt unwell an hour later.

    The steak bake was the worse. I don't know what it is about their food but it makes me boak.

    Nothing worse than getting a steak bake that's just out the bloody oven.

    Jeans/trousers that have great hulking big holes deliberately cut on them in the so called name of fashion. Besides that, wearing them must make you bloody freezing!! What’s the point other than regurgitating the same silly stoopid fashion from 20/30 years ago. Even then I didn’t get it.

    Steak bakes give me the ****s and within half an hour of eating one I need to find a toilet urgently.

    Still eat them though, can’t live your life scared of ****ting yourself.

    As for the temperature, cold or like warm for me. I’ve not got the patience to leave it until it cools down so if it’s just out the oven it just means a burnt mouth for me.

    I don't get how when someone chooses to WhatsApp you, particularly with a question, and you reply immediately (as in within seconds) your reply doesn't get 2 blue ticks straight away. Like have they just decided to fire out a question and not hang around for the 6 seconds required to get an answer?

    Weirdos

    I'm the opposite. If I send someone a Whatsapp (no matter how soon after their message to me) I'd be weirded out if it immediately went 2 blue ticks... Unless it's an urgent question they're asking.

    Rugby players and that grab the shirt, angry face, kind of push each other thing they sometimes do when there's a bad tackle or something.

    Either have a square go or walk away. The in between thing just looks silly

    (Un) fortunately a punch or any violent conduct making contact with the head is a minimum of 12 weeks ban now. Long gone are the days of a right good dust up with no one sent off anymore. I remember listening to Fergus Slattery commentating and there was a bit of pushing and shoving Slattery said with a sigh " ah, the modern day punch up" Fergus was a good old fashioned forward back in the day.

    The word “patching”, as in to ignore. The wife used it earlier. I know I can be a bit of a dinasaur at times but never heard of that word before and had to google it. Is it a word the kids use these days or fairly common and passed me by all these years? 🤨

    Or when rugby commentator Bill McLaren described a double headbutt as "a little tete-a-tete"

    Id never heard it until a year or so ago when my older teens used it. Stupid word.

    My daughter uses it along with the term patched. Does my head in and if my wife started using it, I think it would end up in divorce.

    I will pretend I never saw this post and thus continue my life of blissful ignorance about this abomination.

    What's wrong with "dingied" or "slung him/her a deefie" ??

    I think it's a relatively modern word and originates from the youth.

    I heard younger people saying it at work to begin with and now I hear older people saying it as well.

    It seems to be a word that's used quite commonly these days although I tend to avoid it.

    I like fantasy as a genre, so I was expecting to love it. I read the book first and was told the TV series was amazing, and like you say I never really 'got' it. Tried it twice in fact.
    I'd say it took me a season and a half, binge watched, to really get into it. But, I have persevered and can't wait for the final season!

    Peeing in public isn't against the law for the sake of having a law.

    If you get caught, you'll be prosecuted for"Public Nuisance", which is what it is.

    It's not fair to expect people to put up with the mess and the smell.

    I'm sure the lawyers/courts/judges etc would love to argue about where it was and wasn't acceptable to pee in public. The amount of legislation that would require would make a lot of rich people even richer.
    Is it fair for someone to be publicly humiliated by peeing themselves in the street just because a bit of waste ground behind a bush has a pee smell until the next time it rains?

    Here in NZ, there seems to be plentiful public toilets for the most part, but they are pretty hard to find in the UK these days IIRC.
