Rodri is in the top 3 best players in the world. 

In his position or literally top 3 out of everybody?

Out of everyone.

Every built up area should have a ULEZ

I could agree to this if every built up area had good public transport like London, if the help for people to move to greener cars was more substantial, and if measures were put in place to help small businesses.

Brown sauce best for bacon.

Red sauce best for sausage.

I don't think that should be an unpopular opinion.

 

I get where you're coming from.

 

Back in the day, I was a big advocate of saying Patrick Vieira was in the top 3.

 

The so called skillful players get all the glory and credit, but thus type of player shouldn't be overlooked.

 

It was a bit similar when we had Kante. Vardy and Mahrez took all the credit,  but he was a beast. As proven by the following season.

Every built up area should have a ULEZ and an affordable or (best) free at the point of use comprehensive mass transit infrastructure

Exactly.

 

Take this ridiculous opinion for instance...

First time we go a couple of games without winning there will be a deluge of threads proclaiming that his tippy tappy foreign nonsense has been found out and we'd have been better off getting a proper football man in and going 4-4-2 big man little man

Absolutely hate the modern system of ordering and waiting at McDonalds. Even Argos stopped the get ticket and hang around system years ago.

Public transport should be free. And communities actually connected.

The customers are inevitably responsible for this mess. 

 

There should have been a pushback of epic proportion when this "self serve" bullshit started popping up in supermarkets. Why the hell people are accepting of doing a paid job themselves unpaid is beyond me. All it's done is let these shitters use 10% of the till staff they normally have out for a worse customer service. Pfft.

The more the years go on the worse and worse it reflects on the decision makers in Leicester back when they ripped all those tram lines out. Imagine a functioning tram system in Leicester/Leicestershire. Would be heaven and make this place 100x more accessible than it is now.

Idk man, I quite like self service checkouts/scan and go. Bip, bip and done. Tech is better meaning fewer issues with "unexpected item in bagging area etc" and more tills mean less waiting time compared to manned ones like in Aldi when you're waiting behind everyone with six years worth of shopping.

 

There do need to be more people on hand to assist with any inevitable general pricing and scanning queries/alcohol/restricted item purchases though. Fully agreed on that.

You're not making me feel any better about using Sainsbury's Smartshop, which I'd never used before and then used 3 times last week.

 

I wasn't particularly comfortable with it anyway (although it's quite useful knowing as you go along how the bill is adding up) but some of the discounts are so big it's difficult to not take advantage

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying self serve should be wiped off the earth, when you're nipping in for a couple of items they are fine, it's when you're in asda on a Friday night with a trolley full of shopping and there's one person on tills and a queue to the rafters that it pisses me off.

Not even heard of this. Don't shop in Sainsbury's. Is it the same thing as asda have with those scanners you carry round with you?

Yeah, that's the one, but you can also use your phone and an app, which is what I do.

 

I think I'd still rather use a traditional cashier and till, but my need to economise unfortunately wins out.

 

Where it would be genuinely good is that scenario where you're shopping later in the day and there's only one till open, or increasingly in my experience, no manned tills at all. Doing the scanning as you go round is loads better than scanning the whole lot at the end. You can put the stuff straight into your bags as you go along, for starters

If the right schemes are put in place to support those who can't afford a newer car then I'm all for this.

There's no reason any city in this country should have poor travel infrastructure

The public transit infrastructure outside of London in the UK is embarrassing compared to pretty much any country of similar size and developmental level.

[leicsmac]

Saying something (probably) unpopular in the spirit of the thread, however, in the light of current news regarding the UK's current diplomatic activity, it is possible to hold the belief that

 

- the Chinese have a gross human rights record,

 

- that some nations that lecture them on the above might want to cast the beam out of their own eye first

 

- and that collaboration with the Chinese on matters of trade and other issues is not only desirable in some cases, but a matter of necessity in others

 

at the same time and not conflict.

Don't think either of what we've written is unpopular really.

 

But you're spot on; Nottingham has decent transport links and Birmingham is getting easier. But fundamentally, it shouldn't be anywhere near challenging to get around cities or between cities as it is for people without a car 

[hejammy]

I'm not a fan of dogs, even worse are "those" owners who think it's ok for their dog to run around and go upto random people, and then them saying in a rather unimpressed tone - "he's harmless and won't bite ya" 

 

Not sure if it's the dog or "that" owner I dislike more....

I was gonna say, I lived in Nottingham for what felt like the entirety of the time the tramlines were being built then moved away about 6 months after they went live, so never really got to fully benefit from them. Whenever I do go back though we'll park near my old house in the meadows and catch the tram into town. They seem pretty regular and decent to be fair.
