That's literally what they're for (article in comments)

I joined a union, but aside for legal help, they’re probably not ever gonna be of other help in my case. I work for a big international company (~5000 worldwide) and there’s only about 10 of us in the uk. Collective bargaining is going to get us nothing but fired. That’s assuming I can convince my 9 colleagues to do so, which is less than likely. In general I think it’s tough to get anything out of a union in international companies.

His parts are covered. Even so, what is the issue with nudity? This is a global event, in many parts of the world people are not as prude as occidentals. Some go naked to public baths, or beaches.

Can Fees on Polluting Cars Clean the Air? London Has New Evidence: The city’s expanded low-emissions zone, which was politically fraught, has cut emissions that contribute to health problems

I live in Greater London and I’m right past a busy street going straight in London. I see a good number of electric vehicles but it’s nowhere near 70%. Do you remember where you read that? I’m curious to check the rate of progress. (I would love for my street to be quieter)

Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why

I’ve done Halloween for the first time in the uk with my 2 year old, and we passed a few lightly decorated doors (apartment block). Most other flats had a bowl of candy outside and is this one not having it, we were not sure if we could knock or not. I found myself thinking that they were out or didn’t want to be bothered. It has become very unclear. I think next year even if I’m at home (before we go trick or treating) I will put a sign on the door if I want them to knock, so I make it clear to all.

Le train encore trop cher pour la majorité des Français, selon une enquête

Reply in thread

Après il n’y a pas que les péages et le carburant. Techniquement si tu veux comparer le train et la voiture il faut prendre en compte le prix de la voiture (avec l’emprunt) sur sa durée de vie, plus l’assurance, le contrôle technique et la maintenance à prévoir. C’est dur à chiffrer mais ce sont beaucoup de coûts qu’on a tendance à oublier quand on prend sa voiture pour faire un trajet.
