General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Marketing. Expensive over-engineered solutions to non-existent problems promoted as luxury.

Some of those hand driers turned out to be a health hazard, and a Henry is far better hoover.

Perhaps we should suggest Henry hand driers?

People would put their penis in them.

Is this an argument for or against it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neither. I'm just saying it's inevitable. I totally wouldn't do it but I'm sure someone would so if they did make them Henry Hoover should have a sensual and inviting facial expression so ~~I~~ someone else that isn't me doesn't feel like they've raped the hand dryer.

They'd presumably be mounted high enough on the wall that you'd need a stepladder to reach it with your todger and that might be a bit obvious. However, the establishment might want to institute an "all basketball players must be accompanied to the gents" policy.

That will only make them want it more.

And by "them" you mean...? 🤔

No, no, definitely not. 🤔

You say that as if it’s a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's more like a PSA.
