A rail firm is changing its policy following a backlash after a passenger was charged 10% of the cash found in his lost wallet for its return.

Adam Howells had to pay £8.60 commission - as well as a £2 administration fee - to have his wallet returned after he left it on a train.

:cab:

How was that even allowed to happen?

[Lewis]

I never knew companies charged for returning lost property. Rightly so. Good on them. You shouldn't have left your wallet on the train you dickhead.

[Spikey M]

Could have added a fiver in “storage costs”, the chumps.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A flat fee is fine but taking his money out to count it up and then charging 10%?

[Lewis]

They should just burn everything they find. They could run a steam engine every New Years Day off all the shit they found over the previous year, and raffle the tickets for all the mugs who lost something.

Even before I clicked on the link I knew the 'backlash' would be Twitter funded.

And this seems a perfectly reasonable policy:

10% of any cash recovered (Minimum of £2 up to a Maximum of £10)

[Giggles]

They shouldn't know how much there is to charge 10% of.

Yes they're the type who refer to people as SJWs and spend most of their time harassing women and/or ethnics while claiming it's about ethics in games journalism.

Well they sound like bad people, so if they're the only ones there's definitely a gap in the market.

[Giggles]

Yeah everyone who isn't a snowflake spends their time harassing women and being racist.

[Yevrah]

They shouldn't know how much there is to charge 10% of.

Why shouldn't they?

[Giggles]

Why shouldn't they?

Because they shouldn't be going through wallets.

[Yevrah]

Because they shouldn't be going through wallets.

I thought that's what you meant, but they have to go through them to reunite them with their owners. How else are they meant to do that?

[Giggles]

I thought that's what you meant, but they have to go through them to reunite them with their owners. How else are they meant to do that?

Let the owner chase up the lost wallet and then they can open it to prove it's theirs based on information on the owner in their presence.

[randomlegend]

They can open it and look for some form of ID without counting how much cash is in there, lol.

[Yevrah]

Let the owner chase up the lost wallet and then they can open it to prove it's theirs based on information on the owner in their presence.

That's an awful way to do it. If I've lost my wallet by definition I won't know where I've lost it. They'll get a much better hit rate opening them, taking 10% cash and firing them back to people.

[Yevrah]

They can open it and look for some form of ID without counting how much cash is in there, lol.

Well of course they can, but Giggles' problem is with them opening it in the first place. Do keep up.

[Giggles]

You'd wonder should they be allowed rifle through it in this day and age.

[Baz]

It’s not like whoever found it and handed it in hasn’t already “rifled through it” and, should there be a large amount of cash, nicked some.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anyone finding a wallet, rifling through it and stealing cash is a cunt of the highest order.

Yeah it's where a human writes several paragraphs collating documents of connected events to tell the story of that time. Lewis wrote one.

His seven-year-old daughter Aveigh was named by merging the initials of his favourite football team, Aston Villa, with his own name.

Fucking hell.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Naming your child after anything is such a scummy practice. Easy way to spot a gypo.

[Lewis]

People who call their kids things like 'Freddie' and 'Leo' (to take two from the 'upward trending' list) rather than the actual names that those are derived from is also a twat.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And spelling a name wrong to be unique.

Name styles changes over time. Im all for staying with naming traditions through. If you were born in England to an English family with an English background. Your name should not be Fernando, it should be Dave.

My Indian friend is married to an Indian women. Both of their parents were born in India. They are having a baby boy. My recommendation for the name being Dhalsim was declined. Instead, they are planning to call him Leo.

You can call your child whatever you want. But like everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you have twins called Ping and Pong, im going to clown them at school from 9am to 3pm if they are in my classes.

Does anyone else find this allergy death (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45617845) story a bit odd?


A girl with a severe sesame allergy died after eating an airport Pret a Manger baguette, which did not list the ingredients. Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, collapsed during a flight from Heathrow to Nice on 17 July 2016. Despite her father administering two EpiPen injections, Natasha, from Fulham, London, died within hours, West London Coroner's Court will hear.

If your allergies are that severe, wouldn't you just avoid anything that isn't able to comprehensively rule particular ingredients out, even if that means never eating anything that you haven't meticulously prepared (or researched) yourself?

[randomlegend]

Yeah I can't understand their logic there. No ingredients listed so she can eat it and if she dies it's Pret's fault?

[Boydy]

It's required by law now to have an ingredients list with all possible allergens available.

Edit: seems like they do have those available. Not sure why you wouldn't ask then.

[Spikey M]

I do like the outrage when stupid people die. It’s like these idiots that ‘fall’ from balconies every year.

[Shindig]

And it's not like sesame seeds are hidden. As soon as it gets to your table or comes out of the packet, you're gonna see them.

[Giggles]

And it's not like sesame seeds are hidden. As soon as it gets to your table or comes out of the packet, you're gonna see them.

These were apparently in the bread as opposed to on the bread.

Still though, if there's no ingredients then don't eat the bread.

[Baz]

She won’t, from now on.

[Alex]

:D

I echo everyone elses thoughts on that story. I can't say I'm a particular fan of "Pret", but I don't think it's fair that they're effectively getting their name dragged through the mud in the national press over this.

Unfortunately, we live in such a fucking sensitive society now that if they tried to defend themselves by putting out a statement along the lines of "we're obviously very sorry she's dead, but if her allergies were that severe she either shouldn't have risked it or at least asked somebody first" then, even though it's a perfectly reasonable line of thought, the OUTRAGE would be so severe that it would ruin them. So there's nothing they can really do.

[Jimmy Floyd]

To be fair I'm not sure there's even a suggestion that they're blaming Pret. The article just states that there's an inquest, and that everyone's sad she's dead.

[randomlegend]

The dad was blaming Pret on the radio this afternoon.

Their statement wasn't actually a millions miles from that.

It was "Sorry she's dead but our packaging fulfilled all the legal requirements" from what I remember.

[niko_cee]

His line about the epi-pen having always worked before betrayed a somewhat casual approach to not dying, imo.

[Spikey M]

Depends how serious the allergy. I know someone that nearly dies just being in the same room as a bowl of peanuts.

[niko_cee]

Seems the allergy was fairly serious though. What is the allergy seriousness level above death? Spontaneous combustion on contact?

[Giggles]

That'll probably end up in death too.

[mugbull]

Epi-pen isn't supposed to save you, it's just supposed to buy you time. If you're on an airplane I can't imagine there's too much that can be done.

Imaginr being deathly allergic to sesame seeds though, lol.

Speaking of Epi-pen I recently learned about Naloxone. Now that stuff is mega.

[John]

It was the same when the first one opened in Edinburgh. People go mad for them for no discernible reason. It's just an above average donut. The owner of a cafe near me sent her husband through to Edinburgh for a box of them every morning then sold them for a fiver each, and they were always gone in about an hour. She must have made a few grand doing that before they opened one in Glasgow, and now they're everywhere.

[SvN]

I don't get it. They seem to be at every service station in the country thesedays, so it's not like they're scarce. Yet I constantly see posts on Facebook and Instagram about how UNBELIEVABLE they are. They're just donuts.

[John]

There's a kiosk in Silverburn doing them but demand is still high enough that the Tesco two hundred yards away can run a vending machine full of them that seems to need restocking three times a day.

[Giggles]

It's not like it won't be there tomorrow or next week or next month either. The thing is 24hr with a drive through for fucks sake.

[Pepe]

Same thing happened in Mexico. Multi-hour long lines to get a fucking donut, when you could just walk into the adjacent supermarket and get one of similar quality immediately. Mongs are everywhere.

[randomlegend]

They aren't even good donuts.

[Pepe]

They are if the only thing you respond to is sugar.

[randomlegend]

It also irritates me they are called 'krispy'. Why? They aren't.

[Kikó]

They're complete diabetes and every taste brings you closer to death. I'd rather have a Tesco jam doughnut

[John]

All the more recent American chain imports have just been twice the money for a product that struggles to better what we already had.

I can't believe how people rave about 5 guys. It's SO expensive.

Compared to other fast food burgers, at least they are edible. But yeah, at that price point you can get real food.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I can't believe how people rave about 5 guys. It's SO expensive.

It's a decent burger but it needs to be half the price. Also, the way they put chips into a cup of half the required size and then let all the others spill into the bag is properly retarded.

[John]

I lolled at the cup thing and the twat said the cup is the portion size but they just give you extra.

Five Guys is good, but for fifteen quid I'd like a plate, not a greasy paper bag that would look much more at home with the lip of a Tudor Rose bottle sticking out of it.

The one thing they do that isn't overpriced is the BLT. It's a fiver, but it's about twenty times better than those BLT sandwiches Tesco and that do for three quid.

[Giggles]

Five Guys is ok but there's at least six places in Dublin I'd go for a burger ahead of it off the to of my head.

[phonics]

I'm very much sick of every new place that opens being a fancy burger restaurant at this point so will instead go for the cheapest shit possible which is still admittedly the third most expensive McDonalds in the world.

[SincereTheRebel]

Five Guys is terrible.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I had a Big Mac recently for the first time in donkeys and reckon it's really underrated as a thing.

[Giggles]

Sometimes it's hard to beat a McDonalds. I rarely have burger as you have to ask them if you don't want vegetables and it's faff, but chicken selects and the breakfast muffins are things of beauty.

[SvN]

I had In N Out when I was in America a few years ago and it blew Five Guys away. I doubt they'll ever export it, though.

If you go to one with the touch screen ordering (which I assume must be most of them by now) you can remove anything you don't want on there via the actual self service screen and then juts pick up the end product when they call your number. They've never messed it up once in my experience.

Five Guys, pure grease and gross fries. In N Out is great for sure, the burgers are like halfway between sliders and proper burgers so you could go into In N Out hungry and order 3 and you'd be fine. I love their fries too though a lot of people don't.

[Pepe]

In N Out is overrated shit, like most "better fast food" is.

[niko_cee]

I never really understood the 'infinite possibilities' their menu offered when I went there (although I thought it was decent enough).

I'm sure most people just go there for the pop culture references.

There used to be some place in Austin a dickhead used to want us to queue at about 3 times a week for a burger. It wasn't bad but it was about an hour each time and there was a Wendy's up the road. The burger was grand but triple baconator all the way after that a couple of times.

Just don't match with them or don't reply/politely decline if it's an app where you don't need to match before messaging. Really, it just comes down to not being a cunt which so many people seem to have such a hard time with.

[Giggles]

People should be allowed be cunts if they want to be cunts.

[Spikey M]

They should and can. But they shouldn’t then me surprised when people think they might be racist.

[Giggles]

The shouldn't, but running crying to court because you're an ugly fuck is a bit past that.

[Yevrah]

I could be wrong, but I don't think people are putting "no blacks or Asians" on their profiles because they don't fancy those ethnicities.

[Lewis]

It seems to me that you would actually be doing them a favour if they messaged you by replying 'eww asian'. That way it is impersonal, and they can just write you off as a racist, rather than thinking that you have rejected them on the basis of their pictures/profile. I look forward to making this case should I ever get banned from a dating app for racism.

'No, look. I called her a gook because I didn't want to upset her.'

[Lewis]

At the other end of the spectrum (arf), I know somebody whose last seven birds have all not only been black women, but really dark skinned/featured black women who look sort of similar to the untrained (racist) eye. He married one of them as well, but then she - ironically - cheated on him with somebody who looked not unlike him. Now, bearing in mind as well that he has to fish for them in West Yorkshire because Hull doesn't have any, they must all see pictures of his exes and think what the fuck mate is this a fetish. Is that not as bad its own way?

[Baz]

Sounds like he’s living the dream tbh.

St Helens also has none.

[Lewis]

He's like the nerdiest looking (lanky, glasses, goofy teeth, bald) cunt in the world, which makes you wonder if, just like he goes for the blackest of black women, they see him as the fetishised ideal of a lame whitey.

[Giggles]

It won't be this bad when they open a McDonalds in China. They had to close the drive through at 9pm on Friday night it was that busy :face:

http://www.thejournal.ie/krispy-kreme-opens-in-blanchardstown-4256494-Sep2018/

Residents and all are going apeshit with the noise it's creating in the small hours of the morning.

[John Arne]

I know it's not really your point, but McDonald's has been in China for years :)

[John Arne]

Since when does Krispy Kreme have such a good reputation? Surely it's just a decent enough doughnut gaff?

[Giggles]

I know it's not really your point, but McDonald's has been in China for years :)

Ah right, I didn't know they'd be allowed.

Havana may have been better.

[Giggles]

We absolutely adore a bandwagon here. Most people will be there just to not not be there, rather than because of the doughnuts. Afraid to miss anything.

[John Arne]

Ah right, I didn't know they'd be allowed.

Cuba, a country where they are not havana cheeseburger.

More doughnut fun. 2:30am. I'd have the shotgun out if I lived near it.

[Spikey M]

Because clapping is invisible to deaf people.

[SincereTheRebel]

Jazz clicks would have been much cooler.
Having a sign language person at the student union events sounds expensive.

[Pepe]

It's not for the deaf, it is for those with "disabilities such as anxiety or sensory issues."

[John Arne]

How about the blind?

[Pepe]

How about the blind?

They'll have someone give them mild electroshocks whenever the jazz hands appear.

[Spikey M]

How about the blind?

I reckon they should replace Jazz hands with clapping in interpretive dance.

[Shindig]

"Good for you, Anxious Andrew. You've made it to this crowded event. That deserves a round of applause."

[Boydy]

They used that when I used to go to the odd SU meeting about 7-8 years ago (christ, is it that long?). You can show your disapproval for what's being said by pointing your hands downwards with the palm facing down. Also there's no noise to interrupt the speaker. It's actually a decent system.

Yeah, hopefully whichever paramilitaries patrol the area in question find out who it was and put them down fairly sharp.

[SincereTheRebel]

I don't have any animals as a pet or any future desire. Im also not a vegetarian. There is something that really hurts my heart when I hear stories about a man doing bad things to animals.

I can watch videos of man decapitating another mans head off his body like it is nothing. I cant watch the same type of video but with an animal.

You do something bad to an animal, i want you to do a 10 year minimum in HMP.

[Ian]

Yeah whoever's done that probably wants putting down.

That's very near where I'm from. :|

We just can't be trusted with these sort of things.

Lol at waiting in line for a fucking donut past midnight.

[Spikey M]

Mental.

[Giggles]

That shopping centre gets absolutely haywire from Halloween right through to mid January too, can take about an hour to find parking on a weekend, so this place added to the mix will be tidy.

[mugbull]

Krispy Kreme isn't even good...

[Jimmy Floyd]

People go absolutely ape shit for American food brands over here. It's less noticeable in the south east because we're a civilised area, but you should have seen the bed-wetting when all the regional Subways first went in, and Starbucks before that. It took people a good 5-10 years to realise that Subway is shit, because of the American mystique around it.

Amazing that people will queue round the block for a disgusting sausage patty that's been halfway round the world, but we can't find a way to commercialise bacon and eggs.

[Spikey M]

Krispy Kreme isn't even good...

It’s a standard donut, but for 3 or 4 times the price of one from Greggs. They sell KK donuts everywhere here. I can’t remember the last time I got one, but there must be idiots doing so.

[Giggles]

Now Greggs I might queue for.

[Baz]

Thankfully everyone has now realised that American chocolate is rubbish, at least.

Their breakfast subs are fucking shit anyway.

I quite like the sausage one. It's only about £1.50 too.

Do those Ukrainian call girls put soap on your tongue on his FemDom mode?

[Jimmy Floyd]

American chocolate, cheese and coffee all taste of the same thing, a sort of plasticky chemical taste.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They did nothing to me, that's the problem :(

[Kikó]

Subway was great for a bit but then other places realised that McDonalds or burger king wasn't the only type of fast food available and the world of choice increased. Same with Starbucks, they opened the door for coffee commercialisation as people realised that there is a market for wanky coffee.

Meatball Subway. 🤠

[Disco]

American chocolate, cheese and coffee all taste of the same thing, a sort of plasticky chemical taste.

Like sick, american chocolate tastes a little bit of sick.

[phonics]

They don't do the meatball sub at Subway over here which is an absolute disgrace.

[Disco]

I don't mind Subway (Sidwell street only, the others here are markedly worse), it's a half decent sandwich that I don't have to make.

[-james-]

I went through a phase when I was 18 where I would get high and eat a subway every single day, sometimes lunch and supper.

And that's where my newly acquired student overdraft went, basically.

[bruhnaldo]

It's crazy to me that people think Subway is good in basically any way, let alone "American chocolate".

Krispy Kreme, however, if you go to the literal Krispy Kreme and get the fresh donuts. Now that's exquisite.

If "the light" isn't on, however, just forget it. It's just a regular donut.

But fellas... when they grab those things fresh off the conveyor belt and toss 'em in a box. :drool: that's it right there.

[SvN]

I can't stand the double standards here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-45746393


The pupil and the school concerned cannot be identified for legal reasons.

Yet the teacher's name gets dragged through the mud, regardless of whether she's guilty or not? Putting this story aside for a moment, I think it's absolutely mental that these things can be reported on while the trial is ongoing. Plenty of innocent people have had their reputations ruined by false allegations.

[Pepe]

Like Kavanaugh amirite?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I also don't get how Krispy Kreme is popular in America. The independent donut shops you find everywhere are always better.

Fuck the system, part 327.

admitted meeting up with the boy and texting him after the school trip, explaining "the lines were blurred".

In police interviews, she said she later told him she was pregnant by her boyfriend Andrew Hall, and was planning to have an abortion because she "felt lonely and upset".

Ms Wilson agreed she had told the teenager to keep their meetings a secret, but added she only saw him "as a mate", and did not have feelings for him.

She told the jury she phoned the pupil after an argument she had had with Mr Hall while they were on holiday.

"I called him because I didn't have anyone else. He knew it was bad and he wouldn't judge what I said. He knew me," she said.

I agree with you, but that^ is extremely unprofessional whether she bangeranged him or not.

[SvN]

Definitely. She crossed a line, but I don't think that's the reason why the press are reporting on it.

[Shindig]

Also, the Cristiano Ronaldo rape claim (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45736180) is a bit shifty.


Der Spiegel said Ms Mayorga, 34, had filed a report with Las Vegas police shortly after the alleged incident.

But the next year, she reportedly reached an out-of-court settlement with Ronaldo involving a $375,000 (£288,000) payment for agreeing never to go public with the allegations."

I know technically, this doesn't imply or deny guilt but, she's going to have a potentially uphill battle in court.


"At the time the report was taken, the victim did not provide detectives with the location of the incident or suspect description," a statement said.

Oh, she's definitely out of order, then.

[SvN]

I guess the money ran out.

[SincereTheRebel]

If they took the silence money, you shouldnt be able to cry later on. The person who accepted the bribe, is much worse than the person offering it for me.

[phonics]

It's normally a load of old shit but Mediawatch on Phil Foden buying a massive house and comparing it to what that same writer said about certain (less white) players is really quite depressing.

https://www.football365.com/news/its-okay-for-white-boys-to-buy-big-houses-for-mums-phil-foden

To be fair, everyone in the world is less white than Phil Foden. He looks like he probably speaks with one of those faux black accents.

Those Ronaldo allegations sound exactly like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVe3qH45-Jk).

[phonics]

I'm always having consensual sex shortly followed by telling my lawyers that she said 'No' and 'Stop' repeatedly.

[mugbull]

The Ronaldo allegations sound very legit, especially as he's admitted to the rape in a court document, which would seem to make his defense a lot more difficult. Fuck him.
