I was diagnosed with severe ADHD combined type about 3 years ago around the same time as my son. I think I know what you mean when you say that you are unsure about whether its 'good' or 'bad'! In my case having a diagnosis suddenly everything in my past made so much sense. I realised like you...

Couldn’t agree more, you just can’t appeal to the good nature of people whose business model relies on them extorting money from members of the public. The sooner this industry is properly regulated the better.

If this is a private parking ticket don’t do anything until you visit: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/parking-tickets-fines-parking There’s a process you need to follow to appeal these tickets. Don’t just go down the route that it states on the ticket as many of these parking...

I love the winery dogs, didn’t realise they were touring the UK this month!

"Increasing the progressiveness of the tax system to ensure that the marginal tax rate is rising will redistribute income from the higher paid to the lower paid."...

I wouldn't argue that because that's not how it works in practice, taxation does not directly fund government spending. Im not sure where the 'argument' is around redistribution because that's what happens, tax policy ensures that the lowest income earners are left with a larger slice of their...

Only the most extreme libertarian nuts jobs subscribe to the idea that taxation is theft. Most rational people understand the need to redistribute wealth in order to tackle inequality.

Except the founder of bitcoin is believed to own over 5% of the total number of Bitcoins that can ever be generated - a destabilising amount. We don't even know who he (or organisation or state) is yet this seems to be absolutely of know concern at all? Ultimately in a world where Bitcoin (or...

The amount of male prisoners is an interesting stat on its own but there are definitely factors that explain this other than 'men are bad'. For example studies in the US show that Men are 33% more likely than women to get a custodial sentence and that those custodial sentences are 64% percent...

I don't buy this 'it's all down to the owners' idea, there are clearly breeds of dogs that are better suited to being good natured pets and others that are bred to be aggressive. I have a 2 year old working cocker spaniel which we have had since a puppy. It's the first time my wife and I have...

Seems that southern water are one of the companies that are discharging sewage even on dry days! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66670132

looks OK according to the safer seas app, no water quality alerts in place.

Ive watched this back today and listened to various commentators give their views about it. It seems that this is quite subjective and what is classed as a low blow depends a lot on high a boxers shorts are and the judgement of the referee in the moment. Some boxers have their shorts very high...

A trip to your GP would probably be the first step and get them to make a referral. Waiting lists in the NHS are quite long at the moment but you can through 'right to choose' find a qualified provider that does have availability and ask your GP to make a referral to them. In the case of my...

There's some fantastic advice on here. Neurodiversity tends to run in families and one interesting thing that I found following my sons diagnosis was that some members of my family really couldn't cope with it as it potentially opened a bit of a can of worms. In my case it got me looking at my...

'we can see you holding hands' is probably the mildest one of the lot but the chant is clearly homophobic as it implies that being homosexual is negative and something to be poked fun at. I think if you accept that chant as being OK then more vile stuff will naturally follow on. You can't...

He's like a throw back to the estate agents of the 1980s! Whenever I rang him he would ask me to hold and then have a very loud conversation with someone on the other line about an offer on the property that I was interested in! He was then quite rude to me when I wouldn't increase my offer to...

AJ has always been held to higher standards than other fighters because of the hype around him and the fact that for some reason we expect instance success over here and especially from our Olympians. Wilder by comparison was still fighting journeymen until his 33 fight when he won the world...

So many experiences recently, in fact it's unusual these days for customer service to be good! One recent example that particularly springs to mind is with Virgin Media, every time I called them they tried to put me on a new contract, it didn't matter what it was about (technical issues...

About 20 years ago I was on Tottenham Court Road waiting for someone and had some time to spare so being inquisitive and very impulsive I thought I would pop in to the Scientology shop to see what it was all about! The shop had a few people in it sitting at tables and I approached a bloke in a...
