@miss_zee1031: “UK is not over hyped; there are schedules for a reason….it’s a lazy mindset that will make there to be a standby traffic for more than 5hrs and there’s nothing causing the traffic and people see it as normal; it’s not only weird it’s absolutely ridiculous.
As of the cold weather you get used to it; there are seasons for a reason (apart from the spring confusion sometimes with snow🤣)…..as of the working system, you work and know what you are working for; there’s no such thing as an hierarchy over rule….everyone is hands on and respectful to eachother.”
