General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.

I find EBay is pretty good for little cables and adapters, usually cheaper than Amazon too

It has everything but in my experience, you'll need to wait a few weeks while whatever it is comes in from China.

I usually filter to UK sellers only. Might have to pay a quid or two more but I'll have it in a few days.

A lesser known UK option that may be worth checking is ebuyer.com for some of your A/V, networking and computer stuff. Nowhere near the full range of Maplin/Amazon etc, but they will deliver quickly from UK warehouses - and if you're trying to avoid using Amazon, always worth an extra option.

thanks for this -- it's definitely got a smaller range, but a good alternative to amazon
