Says the man with appliances on his front lawn. The British really are the ‘mericuhns of Europe aren’t they?

[-] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

I mean, the British helped to make us

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They also helped to make Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and they turned out better than we did.

British: “You’re weak!”

Americans: “I’m you!”

i thought that was some sort of weird British mailbox but you're right that is just a refrigerator on their lawn lol

In the snow - the perfect example of pointlessly redundant

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

It depends on where you live, but generally you leave stuff out the front if you want to get rid of it (fridges, freezers, ovens, mattresses, sofas etc) - either officially, by arranging a "bulky goods" collection from the council, or waiting for someone who wants/needs it to take it. Large appliances generally get picked up by "rag and bone" men who weigh the metal in for scrap.

Remember that a large chunk of urban population don't drive at all, and the majority that do drive small vehicles for short journeys - so not many people can take stuff like that to a recycling centre themselves.

De Gaulle vetoed the British application to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, famously uttering the single word 'non' into the television cameras at the critical moment, a statement used to sum up French opposition towards Britain for many years afterwards.[41] Macmillan said afterwards that he always believed that de Gaulle would prevent Britain joining, but thought he would do it quietly, behind the scenes. He later complained privately that "all our plans are in tatters".[35]

American President John F. Kennedy urged de Gaulle to accept the United Kingdom in the EEC, stating that a Europe without Great Britain would create a situation in which the United States were bearing the enormous costs of Europe's protection without any voice. Kennedy applied pressure to de Gaulle by threatening to withdraw American troops from European soil, but de Gaulle believed that the United States would lose the Cold War if they were to leave Europe.[42] It encouraged de Gaulle to see Great Britain as America's "Trojan Horse".[43]

In his defense, he is doing his best to save the climate by keeping his refrigerator outside in the Winter!

[-] deHaga@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

Power companies hate this one trick

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

An indoor refrigerator in the winter is essentially a resistive heater. It's not nearly as good as a heat pump, but may be better for the environment that burning gas, depending on the local electricity mix.

Hey, don't talk shit about his snowman.

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

We put our old furniture/appliances out, and when the scrap man passes they take it away for free (or you can call the council and they'll take it away for free also).

I've got a couch out in my garden at the moment, council's taking it to the tip on Monday.

...Where are we supposed to leave it for pickup, on the roof?

This is a whole sub-genre in British tabloids. Absolute melts pointing at things with a sad or annoyed face.

Cannot for the life of me remember the collective term for them.

Compensation. Specifically talking about idiots looking for money for petty reasons.

The court granted him 33% custody of the resulting man.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Wow, he really has that neighbour by the balls

[-] ogliver@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

It's only one ball, actually.

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago

also I feel like this area would be soo cozy without the fence and with a big tree to give some shade to rest under. maybe a hammock tied to the house or something too

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 12 points 2 months ago

But then who's fuckin tree is it? Who's leaves when comes time to rake? Who's shade? This doesn't end.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Will the real tree shady please stand up

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Who’s shade?

Depends which angle the sun hits it at.

[-] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The front garden is not space to get cozy in the UK, especially if you live somewhere where neighbours pose for compo face for the local paper, have a triple head crease at the head neck neutral zone, keep white goods or sofas in the front garden etc. I expect if you explore the area where this photo was taken, there is a pub with a flat roof and no other amenities than a chip shop, bookies, vape shop.

For the record, I absolutely love places like this

[-] SeventySeven@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

In a perfect world they could remove the fence and plant a tree in the middle to mark the property line. Everybody wins!

Is this image AI? the reflections in the window, the perfect snowman, that film grain filter... it looks too perfect to me.

[-] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Jesus christ if you image search it there is a slop avalanche with like a dozen variants with him wearing different clothes and slightly different houses etc. All reposted woth slightly different wording.

[-] jpeps@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I get that vibe. I've seen a different photo with an extremely similar background that was definitely AI. This is kind of the most average looking UK houses, no house numbers, no logo on the security decide. Definitely suspicious.

[-] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah absolutely

Is this Snowman real? It looks so pretty

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

After one snowy night, next morning I saw neighbours had crafted a meticulous Totoro (from Ghibli) from the snow. With all his fur dimples or whatever they're called.

Keeping a fridge outside in the winter is brilliant. Saving on electricity is good for the environment.

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

They've just made a cuboid one nearer the house

[-] clav64@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

"me eh-aye slop is bitter thun your eh-aye slop"

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's a dick move, it's so rare that we get snow, I enjoy looking out of the window and seeing it.

Not to mention that it's taboo over here to enter someone else's garden without good reason, this bloke's asking for it though, where's his hedge? Not even a fence? Come on. But I digress.

Thing is, if they'd just asked I bet he'd have said sure, and been happy to help, but it's people stepping over the line and going outside of the basic social contact we have in our communities, that's what pisses ya off.
