Situation. In the pub watching the football, go toilet, as I’m walking in I see £20 on the floor. I was like shall I shan’t I. There was only one other bloke in there and he was having a pee. Left it and the other bloke picked it up on the way out.

 

My dad had a right go at me when I told him lol. I just thought well it ain’t mine so I’m leaving it, fairly sure it weren’t the other blokes though who picked it up.

 

what would others have done?

Probably would’ve picked it up.

 

I was at a harbour in Spain and saw a 10€ note right on the edge of the water.
 

Genuinely thought it might be a prank, but in the end it was a few free pints.

It would have been in my sky rocket faster than the wife can figure out a way to spend it.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Just think how the bloke that did lose it felt when he realised.  I would probably have left it too but I'm a bit soft.

Would you give a homeless person spare change, or ignore them if they begged for some?

I would generally give a few quid here and there, I don’t judge them for how they choose to spend it…. The issue is that I barely ever carry cash lately

I'd absolutely give them something. The issue is I rarely carry cash around with me these days. Contactless must be hitting them hard in terms of donations the last few years.

I miss the politics thread. 

 

I said nothing when it left, understood why it went and gave it a chance, but the forums not the same for me without it. 

 

 

Same here. It's just led to politics being talked about in other threads too.

My sister in law is teacher and has been given next Friday off to go Christmas shopping. At the same time her union is trying to persuade her to go on strike.

 

The world is mad at the moment.

One 1/2 day off makes up for a decade of real term pay cuts?

 

You could do with a few catch up sessions with your sister in law you daft fvcker

It's a full day off. In protest she isn't going shopping she is coming to visit instead.

 

I'll take on your good advice and indeed have a catch up session.

Interesting. I think the exact opposite.

 

For me, Gen Chat is a lot more civilized without the Politics thread. I think that thread brings out the worst in normal, decent posters.

 

I don't miss it one bit tbh.

I agree that it’s good it’s gone - but that it only brought out the worst in the worst, abnormal posters. And some of those trolls barely posted anywhere else until the World Cup. They need a good hard banning.

In the last couple of weeks I've been to both Zizzi's and Prezzo for various reasons (not my choice) and I've come away absolutely baffled that these places are so popular.

 

The drinks are extortionate, the food is mediocre but priced quite high, and yet the places are packed. Clearly I'm in the minority and that's fine, but I just can't understand if they're just "fashionable" places to eat, or if I'm backwards.

 

I didn't even find it a nice atmosphere. Both were full and I felt crammed into each place.

 

People can spend their money on what they want, but it just bemuses me that of all the places in Leicester, these are popular.

Do you tip your window cleaner/milk man/whatever at Christmas? 

We don’t have a window cleaner or have milk delivered but I've always felt I should really tip the postman who's very chatty.

 

But then last year we had two Xmas cards go missing from relatives that both contained cash for the kids and I reckon the bastard intercepted them both.

 

P.S the bin men can fvck off if they expect a tip. The amount of times our empty bins end up in the middle of the road or jammed up against the side of my car they can do one.

This took a turn! lol 
 

So in essence, your kids tipped him for you if you think about it…

I used to tip the window cleaner and the bin men at Christmas, yes

Just talking about it at work and it’s about a 50/50 split on who does and doesn’t. I think it’s just a nice thing to do, especially given our window cleaner is literally out in all weather. Must be really demoralising cleaning windows whilst it’s pissing it down lol

Yeah same for me, it's just a nice gesture.

 

Not if your postmen are nicking stuff and your bin men are tw@ts though lol
