I have heard of issues using Scottish and NI money while travelling; they’re less recognisable than Bank of England issued notes. I have just never encountered a variable exchange rate on different issued Sterling notes. Was this an EU country?

I hope FactCheck UK follow up with a video on Woking and Thurrock…

Scottish but have lived in 5 EU countries and 11 cities in the UK. Never have I heard of this, nor experienced it exchanging in country, either direction. I had a decent root about online and only see this discussed anecdotally; mostly in Reddit posts. I can’t say for certain this isn’t happening, but it does sound like an urban myth of sorts.

Ardent rubbish.

Agreed regarding the widget space. I wish you could pin a line, or route maybe, for display in the widget.

In fairness to that poster though, the article text is in the body of the post, so a translation error was ported over to Lemmy. This has nothing to do with “read past the headline”; they did read past the headline but the article body was wrong when transposed.

No need to be snarky; it’s not the poster’s fault that there was an error at source.

Edit - For context, the above comment is not what I was responding to. I don’t know if the above user has edited their comments, or if a Lemmy bug means I saw some old comment, but the comment I was responding to was belittle the poster for not “reading past the headline”.

They stagger down the Sauchiehall in single file to hide their numbers.

How could the voters not love a fifth PM from the same party in as many years?

At first a nibble. Then a slow tempting lick. I suck and munch my liquid lunch; And then I swallow quick.

Why?

Did I hear a Ding? Gratz!

It’s a very special moment to hold a game you made happen in your hands, I hope it happens many more times for you!

You appear to have missed the bit when a certain neo-Thatcherite PM fucked the economy to ribbons in mid-2022 then.

Not a defence of her or the shitty situation, but she isn’t in government, and this predates her time as Prime Minister.
