My wife is Asian and we live in the UK. Quite often when we meet people who instead of simply asking "what sort of job do you do" they ask things like "Do you work in the NHS", "Are you a nurse", "Do you work in a care home".

Some random person outside a shop asked me how much my Asian bride costs.

My wife and son were getting off a bus and somebody asked her how much would she sell her son for.

Probably a bunch more but that's all that comes to mind atm.

Greg's also have placed on industrial estates, motor ways, town centres, etc. They've made it so anybody can easily access them. I can't even think of any prets near where I live. Probably is but perhaps it blend into the background.

I got exactly the same. Firefox on android and in the UK. Perhaps it's regional.

I just searched the same words and got the same text.

I'm curious, why are you putting the £ symbol after the number and not before?

Not so much of a shop but often on country lanes you see eggs for sale outside people's houses with a money pot for donations. Hens lay a lot of eggs and the owners need to get rid of them easily.

It's also the ease of it. I travelled to Indonesia a while back thinking I could pick up a SIM card once there. I didn't realise you have to register the phone itself for tax reasons (?) to white list the IMEI of the phone before buying a SIM card. It was loads easier just to buy a roaming eSIM after I arrived. In hind sight I probably could have got a better package had I shopped before hand but it got me out of a tricky situation.

I find I get stuffy during autumn and I think it might be related to fungus. It's when things get a bit cold and damp. This winter has been like a long autumn and I've been sneezing and bunged up pretty much throughout.

I had a Xonar about 15 years ago. Can't remember the model. Its surround sound has a delay on the rear speakers, made playing games in 5.1 impossible, horrible reverb effect. The official drivers didn't fix it, I had to get a non-official driver pack to fix the issue.

I'm not really an audiophile but switching to an external usb amp dac was a good decision.
