I've lived in the UK since birth and have always had soup spoons.
I thought, "maybe it's a middle class thing", but it's not like they're expensive and they last forever.

My girlfriend (32) asked me if I was a boomer. I'm 37 😭
A lot of the time it comes down to how engaging the teller of the story is.
The same story could be told by two different people. One who's animated, emotionally engaged and who appears them self to be very interested, the other, who is the complete opposite of those things.
There are stories that I've found hilarious and/or engaging that upon reflection that were really just a load of pointless nonsense and vice versa stories that feel like they're boring and worthless at the time, but that upon reflection had real gold nuggets of information or wisdom.
This is why I'll always listen to others, I may end up no richer, but there's a chance that I will.
Part of me feels optimistic, the other part feels like silly accusations of anti-Semitism, misogyny, communism and chairman Moa bicycles etc etc, are already being prepared.
That's semantics. I take it you understood the message I was trying to convey.
In principle, there's nothing wrong with the right to buy.
The issue with right to buy is that sold off council stock is not replaced and that many people can't get a council house in the first place.
Am I the only one that thinks this is a weird place to shoehorn in an entirely unrelated issue?
I understand that you feel strongly about the issues faced by trans kids, but I don't see what it has to do with unaffordable house prices.
When you're rich, you make your own rules. Laws are to protect the rich from the dirty poors, not the other way around!
Something being technically legal doesn't make it technically OK.
If I had just started a new job and my CV was found to be "incredibly misleading", I'd expect to be kicked out the door, not because I'd broken the law or commited gross misconduct, but because I'd been found to be unsuitable for the expectations of the company/customers.
This story is just another straw on the camels back of the privatised water industry that have been using the British tax payer as an ATM for fat cat shareholders for decades, with debts so huge that our children and our children's children will be burdened.

Fair enough. I definitely do that too, sometimes you can also link the post of when the question was last asked.
In my union, reps have to be put up for vote every three years, and if even after that you still don't like them, you have the option to go straight to your FTO.
