UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

It used to be more common. Back in the 90s when I was working in an office we'd often head to the pub for Friday lunchtime and roll in later in the afternoon. Going along for a free lunch and a few beers with visiting sales reps was also pretty common.
I couldn't do it now - the thought of nursing a proto hangover before I've even got home seems insane in retrospect. God knows how much productivity used to be wasted due to work time tipples.
That fits with my personal experience that it tends to be older members of the places I've worked at that suggest and/or actually go for it
