Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

maybe i got lucky to somehow hear them over my tinnitus. and no, if you live around them long enough, its not just a fan spinning (which will get noisy over time when they get manky and imbalanced, which in turn causes secondary vibrations). personally, i prefer air to air heatpumps i had when i lived in nz. not the noisy bastards i put up with in sweden.

that said, despite my hearing loss and tinnitus, i can pick up on annoying sounds nobody notices until i point them out.

I've only experiences the air to air heatpumps in aus and nz. I though sweden used the same?
