Ha I wish. Currently rocking a crying newborn's pram with my foot. We don't need a yank tank either

The small car has 5 seats, you can fit a family in it

Lucky for them that they don't go to work, so they don't have to be part of the worker's revolution. They can just sit at home and be negative on the internet.

Holy shit I didn't realise it was there. I always assumed it would be under the floor mat where your feet usually are. This is so much worse. Those pockets are always full of crap and I bet removing the bottom bit is easier said than done. Especially when you're on fire.

I'm English and it sounds slightly off to my ear if somebody requests something and says thanks in the same sentence. To me, you thank somebody after they've done something. Making a request and immediately saying thanks is like presuming they're definitely going to do it, which cancels out the whole pretend formality of requesting instead of commanding.

I know practically a canteen worker isn't going to deny your request so it's all unnecessary social nonsense but it's funny spelling these tiny differences out.

It's a shame reading comments like this. The harms that you mention are absolutely miniscule compared to the negative effects of staying inside every day.

Finally a genocide I can get behind

You mention wanting to be "close to family". Worth pointing out that I think this has a very different definition in the UK compared to USA. The online joke about 100 miles being a long way over here is completely true. My wife's family lives about an hour and a half away, and whenever we visit it's a "proper" planned trip. We pack bags and stay overnight. I think Americans would drive there and back in a day and think nothing of it.

Discuss with them and see what they say. "How often would you visit if I lived 5/15/50 miles away?"
