Fuck yeah trains! Three times the price of driving and takes an hour longer on the rare occasions where it actually turns up on time!

Isn't that just like a normal every day thing around the world though

It's better thought of as a tax that funds the BBC, but it can't be called a tax because it's not run by the government.

It's an outdated idea though that doesn't make any sense in this era because it means that technically if you want to watch any live TV at all then you have to pay the BBC money even if you don't watch anything by them.

Or you could just not answer the door in the extremely rare case that any enforcement officers actually come around and instead watch TV for free.

You'll get ticketed for that in the UK. Keep left (right) unless overtaking.

That's the median disposable income, which is significantly lower than the gross income used and misrepresented in this study.

The full time minimum wage is £23,809. That would mean a household with two people earning minimum wage would be classed as rich here.

The threshold for "rich" here seems extremely low. £45K household income? Two people on £23K exceed that.

That coffee water temperature is too low, it will make horrible grey dishwater tea.

Hopefully it will change soon. Wayfair and a few others are currently under investigation for price fuckery.
