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.

You're nearly 40 and have to show ID to buy alcohol?
Many places have a “Challenge 30” policy or similar where they ask for ID if you look under 30.
If you still look youthful at 40 it’s possible to get ID’d.
I'm 41 and still have to bring my passport with me when I need to buy blades or aerosols.
I had to as well, until my mid 30-s 😬 (Hasn't happened in a few years though.)
I still remember when they asked for ID to buy one of those Y-shaped potato peelers 😂 How tf I could hurt someone with that, peel them??
40? ID says he's 18, I swear! He's old enough!
Lucky git. I'm 42 and I think the last time I was asked for ID was when I was 26.
They could at least look like they're thinking about it before they smash that "obviously over 25" button.
