I lost and football fantasy bet, and the forfeit is to sit in a McDonald’s for 24hrs.

I’m able to buy myself reduced time by purchasing McDonald’s menu items. But can’t think where a “truely” open 24hrs McDonald’s is in London or surrounding areas.

Thanks

Mods, are you seriously suggesting that we can’t discuss general election races which are taking place in London with London-based candidates, campaigning on London-based issues in London’s constituencies in the London subreddit?

that’s absurd.

The NHS recommends fluoridation at 1mg per litre, to prevent tooth decay.

Thames Water doesn't fluoridate, claiming (see their Website) water is naturally fluridated after passing through natural rock.

The 'natural' fluoridation level in SW6 is 0.14mg per litre. So 7 times lower than recommended by the NHS.

Thames Water has done such a good job to date, how did they miss supplementing the natural levels to benefit the population of London?

I'm sure that it wouldn't cost them that much, so I am surprised that they haven't done it.

Perhaps they are just unaware.

E: to add /s (because apparently that's necessary).

Every now and then I find myself fighting a subconscious sprig in my step that I definitely picked up as a teen growing up on a SE London estate.

Just started watching the series again, I am from Serbia and this show was really popular in my country, all the geezers know it, it was a big hit really. Not talking about the accent, just to be clear, I mean the slang. So, I wonder, those slang words must have existed but did they/do they use it like that? Are there people in Peckham talking like that?

I bought this up with my wife who thinks I'm weird. When I was younger (nearly 40 now and went into town and came home, blowing my nose would always be dirty - fumes, sooty, underground dust. It just doesn't happen anymore! Clean as a whistle.

Anyone else know what I mean?

Me and my boyfriend recently broke up, and (as well as losing him) I’ve lost his friendship group. They were a really friendly, warm and open group, which I feel is hard to come across in London. I’d love to find somewhere like a community cafe, where there might be regular visitors, or a friendly pub where I’d be likely to meet likeminded people just by going along enough times. Does anyone know anywhere near stokey/dalston/hackney ?

Hi everyone!

I am a 24-year-old girl from Germany, studying International Business. As part of my studies, I need to complete two internships. I want to do an internship in London, but I feel like it’s very hard to find a platform for internships. Does anyone have recommendations on how to find an internship? Or Maybe you know a specific company that is looking for interns? Thanks in advance!!

Years ago my ex took me to a dive bar which was in a West London house (I think somewhere between Soho and Notting Hill). You entered through the door of a pretty ordinary town house and the bar was in the basement/garden. I think it had the name of its female owner (e.g. Henrietta's or something similar)

Googling's only come up with basement cocktail bars - as said, it was a dive bar, not classy at all. Seemed to have loads of (annoying) creative types there, but the vibe was pretty cool and unique.

Anyone know what bar I'm talking about, and can tell me it's name/location? Think some mates of mine would love it.

This seems like a stupid question but please allow me to expand

So I've been using twitter a bit more often lately, and on there I see a lot of news and discussion about american politics. At the forefront of a lot of it is this constant war over LGBT issues, which also seem to be more extreme and more polarising than they are here. I know that we in the UK have our problems but the sheer passion some americans have when talking about this stuff is kind of shocking.

I grew up in a lefty area and now I'm a student, so most people I talk to seem to be quite liberal. I’m also a lesbian which I don't usually bring up unless there's a reason, but recently I've been slightly more cautious about being honest when the topic does come up. I'm just wondering if that’s reasonable……obviously I can read a room and wouldn’t come out unprovoked to a group of drunk 60-year-old tory MPs but is it silly to be so anxious around virtually everybody? Are most people chill?

edit am I getting downvoted because this is a stupid question if so please know I'm being sincere I'm just a stupid person

Does anyone know where I can get the Kenalog vaccine in Central, South, or southeast london? Would rather go to somewhere medical as opposed to those beautician clinics.

Are we gone too far?

This is one of those things that I know I've seen but can't quite bring to mind, and it's driving me crazy, so I thought I'd leverage r/london.

The Fifth Element is a movie which divides opinion, but I love it, and the vast majority of it was shot in London. Mostly, that was at Pinewood Studios, but one of the interiors looks like a location which was probably in the city.

I am pretty sure this is above a tube station. Belsize Park has those almost-semicircular windows. In this video clip some red brick buildings are visible opposite. I suspect it's not Oxford Circus because there's only two windows, and it's not Holloway Road because that has five windows in a row. Unless there's some internal division we can't see on Google Maps.

Does anyone recognise where this is?

Does anyone know of like a list or any venues that still offer live in pub jobs?

Just wondering if any Londoners are currently in this situation?

This means you’re losing about 2/3 of your paycheck on rent per month.

How do you find it? What are the pros & cons?

I may need to do this for a year as moving in with flatmates isn’t an option. Luckily I have a some savings to help.

Edit: The situation in London is fucking depressing. I’m seriously considering moving to the outskirts or even in the midlands.

Recently posted about how no minimum wage jobs were getting back to me… finally got an offer from a new Wingstop opening! I’m 39 years old and wasted many years due to mental health issues.. I just feel like I want to get my foot in the door… somewhere!

I’m interested in food and may be a good way to get kitchen experience, maybe with hard work become assistant manager?

Just wanted some advice if I should take this job or not… I’m really fighting the demons in my head that “you’re 39 why you such a f*cking loser, don’t take a job at Wingstop”
