Good meme.

I think this is a situation where they can’t just call it olive oil due to regulation and they have a set title-summary format in the product range (Essential Waitrose if I recognise the font).

Not on a government-level, it’s just a policy of some of the big supermarkets and their subsidiaries.

I’ve always called it Sunday lunch, but do use a mush of dinner and tea. Dinner is just the biggest meal of the day, and may or may not be at tea time.

Sorry to be argumentative, but I think this is a bit of an ignorant take. For hundreds of years the English have been “having a say” in the affairs of the Welsh language, both actively and passively. What’s to say that the language shouldn’t be taken back and encouraged, however small of a step?

I am not all that well versed with the history compared to some (some things in the past were far more brutal), but from my own personal experience the Welsh language has been wiped from my family within two generations. From being a first language to the current generation knowing almost nothing. This is down to Welsh being portrayed as a peasants language and from this my grandmother refused to pass any of it down, or even speak to her neighbours in it despite them talking to her in Cymraeg.

Comparing Welsh to German I feel is also a poor comparison. Welsh is a native language and has been spoken here longer than English has. This very article is in the ‘Wales’ section too so aimed at Welsh people. Despite the majority of Wales speaking English today, most people will still understand some words and appreciate it being used.

There will also be a lot of Welsh speakers who would be uncomfortable with the English name being used considering the history of the Welsh language. Ynys Môn is also the official name of the parliamentary constituency so it is pretty commonly used in an English context.

Another argument is that there is conscious effort to increase usage of the Welsh language and place names are a good place to start understanding the alphabet and pronunciation.

I actually agree with you, but this comment is misleading. The UK Government has said none of those things and has not made any statement on this as referenced by “The Home Office has been contacted for comment.”

The first quote was from The Community Security Trust, and the second from The Times.

I feel like the cost of towing and the extra admin involved will quickly surpass the fees.

Also the cost of car parks has risen pretty high which I feel pushes more people towards the risk. In some places if you get caught 1/3 times, you’ll still be better off.

The problem is though, if you buy them enough, any other salt and vinegar crisps just taste like ready salted.

TFL did a study related to this which was cited when Wales set the default speed to 20.

They found that there was minimal difference in emissions between the two speeds. Any benefit of lower drag etc is countered by the fact that the engine is not geared well for 20 so generally it will be the same or only slightly better doing 20. (I am making the assumption here that lower emissions will equal less fuel usage.)

However, the greatest benefit is that there are less cars on the road because it encourages active travel and discourages driving. So comparing driving to not at all is a huge fuel difference.

I can’t find the exact study I looked at before, but I think this might be similar: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/the-impact-20mph-limits-and-zones-in-london.pdf

They must be targeting specific areas. So far I have got about 6-8 things from Green (including one glossy magazine type thing), and they are the only party I have seen door knocking. Reform I have only got the one “letter” - in an envelope I assume because they are the most disliked party and they are getting this happening often.
