Weren't "smart" motorways originally just supposed to be automatic detection of traffic to apply temporary speed limits and reduce traffic? When did the 'while we're at it turn the hard shoulder into an extra lane to save the cost of expanding' plan get tacked on?

I wonder how many other people this works for

When asked to think about their own lives, Britons are most likely to say that the best years of their life so far have been their twenties. Three in ten Britons aged 20 and older (30%) nominate that decade as their best, a figure which is largely consistent however old they are.

Teakettle? Isn't that just a kettle?

Does your wee one watch a lot of American-voiced videos on YouTube or similar?

Any nation who makes cheesy chips and gravy their national dish is a friend and ally in my book

"cockwomble" just sounds like you're trying too hard, like a yank LARPing as a brit they read about on the internet

That is the trouble with relying on recruiters, there's essentially no bar to entry so the industry is flooded with talentless chancers

Aren't messages the only point of LinkedIn? You create a profile which is basically your CV, set it to "looking for work", and wait for recruiters to message you, right?
