Asda, in my personal opinion, is a little crap.
It’s not as cheap as aldi/lidl, yet somehow has a worse shopping experience.
It just feels like a knock-off Morrisons nowadays. Or a UK walmart.
That’s it really - it falls between two stools. It used to be the cheapest and you’d put up with it being rubbish but it has been undercut on price and is now stuck not doing anything well.
It therefore seems plausible to suggest that the anomaly of the English – a powerful majority which often perceives itself as overlooked and ignored among the British nations – might play a role in explaining the current wave of protests and riots.

This is good, but they could really do with running these for older people too.
Here’s one I heard this week for example:
“My friend down at the bowls club said on Facebook that they’re not even real immigrants, but they’re special forces soldiers from the secret UN Army and they’re bringing them over here to take over the British and they’ve all got really good shoes and mobile phones you see, that’s how you can tell and they’re all of fighting age aren’t they?”
I'm sure they quoted one instance of a holiday home owner donating all surplus food at the end of their stay.
Even so, some visitors donate. Wallis says a Swiss couple give £500 each year. People ring and ask him to collect excess food from their holiday cottage when they leave.
Incredible that it’s only happened now. Just goes to show how actually old the average Brit is. On the one hand it feels good, I’ll still be “young” for another 15 years, even though past 25 it’s all downhill, but on the other hand the downfall of civilization to the cheer of the boomer property tycoons hopped up on the daily heil isn’t that nice to be around.
Before the 1980s, stillborn babies were taken away from families who were not given any details of what happened to their babies or where they were buried.
Medical staff would tell bereaved parents their children would be buried alongside “a nice person” who was being buried that same day – often without giving them the opportunity to say goodbye.
Instead, the babies were interred in mass graves.
That’s rough.
There was also no central registry of stillbirths which makes tracking them down difficult. My grandfather always claimed to have been one of twins but his brother, Anthony, was stillborn. We don’t even know if he existed (although my grandfather’s younger brothers both had sons called Anthony, which wasn’t a family name before that), let alone where he ended up.
They’d get a lot more people onto heat pumps if they didn’t block grants on any unit that can cool as well as heat.
Even then, I think I’d still want gas to heat my hot water. The electrical system can’t cope with doing that on demand. I used to have a hot water tank, and I’m not going back to that. Combi boilers are so much more convenient.
Heating systems can afford to be slow though.
I’m pretty sure I saved more than this 30% (which given it’s in a headline, is going to be an absolute best case scenario) by going to Agile Octopus.
Both is an option. IE have a water tank that can heat water on lower power slowly. Making use of reusable energy. And a heat bump to efficiently use it. (Not really doable on a small boat)
And fit gas (i use electric) instant water heaters at the taps. I have it set up that I can turn it on and often use if when connected to shore power in winter.
But use a tank heated by a solar dump when possible.
Given how cheap solar panels are now. (£69 for 410w panal plus shipping) if your able to fit stuff yourself. It is worth the effort.
That’s what happens when you fail to maintain things for 30+ years, syphon off all the money for shareholders, and then cry poverty when the government decides that just flushing everyone’s shit into the river isn’t an acceptable way to deal with it.
Tighten the rules further and nationalise any company that can’t keep up. Should never have been privatised in the first place. I, a fairly normal person, cannot pick and choose which company provides my water like I can with electricity, gas and internet. So what’s the point of having a company run it?
Yes, we think we should pay but in the sense that we should put more money into non venture capitalist and non shareholder backed, non-commercial, open source and privacy-focused sites and services etc, and forgo the commercial sites and services that think they need to erode our privacy in the first place.
Yeah, I can’t step out my front door without being murdered, it’s just murder and death all day long. I must’ve been killed at least a dozen times today.
