General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I thought hottest part was about 12-3 maybe we need more Spanish hours

hard agree on the siesta idea but instead of 12-3 I'd say stop work at 3-6 instead, or work mornings and evenings (with lots of time in between)

in summer, the hottest part of the day can be 4-6pm (because there's a big lag between the sunniest part of the day and the ground heating up, which then heats the air) - also Spain has a weird timezone (GMT+2 despite being west of us, so their sunrise was 5 mins earlier than ours, but was at 7am local time, and ours was at 5:05am)
