    EDIT: I got it wrong sorry. There was a post on Reddit with similar looking rolls from Bristol.


    The photo was posted to Reddit at least a year ago, and was apparently from an English pub that wanted to sell ‘real’ pub snacks again. The roll cost something like £1.50, where most snacks like this go for around £5 or more.

    There was a big discussion on the landlord’s chopping skills, but he claimed that it was really popular 👍

    On a side note, I’d really enjoy that roll, as long as it’s got a bit of butter so it’s not too dry 🙂


  • I know a few older people who have smartphones, and while they can use things like Twitter or Facebook on the phone, if you told them that you were installing an app, they wouldn’t know what you meant.

    They’re the type of people who were never interested in computers, and used them as appliances, possibly never needing to install things themselves. As they moved to phones, they either get their kids or the shop to set them up.

    They understand using Twitter on the phone, but don’t really understand the concept of how it works.














  • Strongly disagree. I’m using SwiftKey, and the prediction has been awful for the last year or so. It constantly tries to force sentences on me and gives me multiple repeated words.

    As an example, typing that last sentence, every time I started a word with ‘m’, it suggested ‘more’ and ‘more than’. If I long press and tell it not to suggest ‘more than’, then select ‘more’, the next suggested word is ‘than’.

    I find that it often repeats the selected word too. Earlier I typed something like ‘I did it last year’ and the next suggestions were ‘year’ and ‘year ago’.

    Microsoft have shoehorned a predictive AI into SwiftKey, and it doesn’t work properly.
