You probably weren't looking for a real answer but is it the case that uptick refers specifically to a rise after a fall?

The Fun Factory Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 It might just be me but since covid where has people's awareness of space gone too? When you walk around a town/city centre people are endlessly just stopping in the middle of the pavement, to look at their phones/having a think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom of a busy escalator, there will be people that step off that escalator and stop, to assess the world. Busy shop with a narrow doorway, stop in the door to check phone and purse. One solitary car parked in a street, pull up directly opposite it to drop your mate off and have a little chat once they’ve got out. There is one solution. Spoiler Flame throwers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 This is a regular type conversation in this household, especially with food shopping. "What flavour of X do you want?" "Don't mind, the cheapest." "A?" "Yeah, A." " Ohhh they've got B." "A is fine" "or you could try C." "Nah A is okay I'm not too bothered." "They've got D E F for X amount more." **** me, I didn't care the first time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 12 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12 (edited) In the supermarket the other day a bloke was looking at items on a shelf, arm straight out behind him with his trolley lengthways on. It was a strangely wide aisle so a pedestrian could actually squeeze past him just about, not a trolley though. He either didn't take the hint or didn't notice when I put my feet against the base of one shelving unit and pushed my trolley against the shelf on the other side of the aisle stretching out at a 70° angle. Mrs Sidcow thought it was hilarious. He just moved on. I would add no one else was trying to get down to the aisle.

foreveryoung Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Talking about the world of today. Our trainee admin girl is leaving. Apparently, her and her mate are going to do TikTok full time? Said she can earn more money and work when she wants? She's got real good career progression ahead of her here. I mean she's working admin at the moment, but it's the start of her training to be a digital marketing executive, she's only 20. It'll be great job in a couple of years, includes lots of travelling abroad too. Kids aye?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have been going to St Annes for about 13 years, multiple times a year. Went up yesterday to give my dog a run on the beach and have a wander round. The first time in 13 years the tide was right in, I mean right up to the promenade, zero beach available. It may be like this daily, but even normally, for me, high tide means that its only a mile away. That pissed me off, and then the return on the motorway, yes, the M6 was closed so it took us 5 hours to do an hour and half journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like Southport (which given it's location, you'd imagine it is), the high tide that reaches the promenade wall happens roughly once a year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
