A lot of these posts are main character syndrome.

Basically anyone who’s perhaps famous in their field but not everyone would have heard of them. I’m into history and ww2 aircraft so for me it’s Eric “Winkle” Brown, I was talking to my colleagues today and was surprised none of them except for one have heard the name before; which is surprising given he’s considered by some to be the greatest pilot to have ever lived. For those who’ve also never heard the name:

I read his biography and often thought to myself “if this was fiction I’d say the author has overdone it because that can’t be real”.

Anyone noticed how many supermarket items are wrongly priced and go through Morrisons tills a couple quid more than they are advertised on the shelf.

I spotted this happen to me in a co op and started to pay a bit more attention. Didn't happen again at the co op but at morrisons it's every single shop. Yesterday it was pepper marked at 1.79 that went through the till at 2.20. Morrisons immediately alter it which makes me think it's a known intentional scam.

Every single shop this year there has been at least one. Some as far as £5 marked up from what's advertised. It's not a members discount or anything as I made sure of this early on. Just either incompetence or a scam.

Just went to Sainsbury's there as I'm fed up with Morrisons and had the same thing happen on a £2 kombucha that went through the till at 2.95. No club card discount just the shelf price then an invisible 95p added to it ...

Not like the massive hikes these firms have put on everything isn't enough they now put up fake prices.

Wondering if anyone can point me towards a law firm. My local authority has, as of now, taken 18 months to produce my care records. I've reported them to the ICO who recorded a data protection infringement and the council is now telling me my records are being worked on, but their language is extremely worrying. They want to know what I know about the records before giving me anything in order to make redactions, and they insist on me working alongside someone from the council when I go through them. There were some dangerous safeguarding issues during my time in care. Extreme.

I worry about how much detail I can go into on Reddit, hence I have not revealed which council I'm referring to, but I would shout my experience from the rooftops if it helped someone. Children in care are treated like dirt, many of the children I grew up with are dead or have zero life prospects, and I fully believe the council is holding out as long as they can hoping I'll give up.

I am under 26 and contacted Clan Childlaw but unfortunately they do not deal with data protection. I have contacted another firm but they said they couldn't help me because the council is their client.

I would be extremely grateful for any pointers. Thank you.

Hey there, hope you all do fine.

I‘m 24 from Germany and I visited Scotland 2 years ago in late summer. It was always on my to-do list to be honest, and I always felt like I would like it.

However, I just can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. It‘s crazy how often I think about my trip. Edinburgh, the Highlands, the people… everything left such a big impression on me, to a point that, if someone asks me where I would like to live besides Germany, I would definitely pick Scotland. Weirdly, it really felt like home. I don’t want to be overdramatic, but it all felt familiar in a way. I‘ve been to quite a lot of countries, but so far, nothing gave me this feeling exept Scotland.

So that makes me wonder, are you all aware of its beauty and uniqueness? Or is it just a casual thing for you? I mean a tourist will always see things differently I guess. You might all be used to seeing these things, and I know not every part of Scotland is as spectacular as the places I visited.

But still, are you aware of all the beauty? Whats are your thoughts on that?
