I think it depends what the button function is - if it’s to go to the social channel of the business whose website you’re on, I agree the Contact Us page is the place for them.

However I think OP is talking about the type that is intended to share the current webpage onto the user’s own socials. That wouldn’t fit on Contact Us, except to share the contact us page :-)

Agreed about designers doing what everyone else does, but I’d add to that, that it may be client-driven - a lot of clients I’ve worked with see these things on other sites and so assume that they need them too. Even if the designer wanted to remove them, the client would likely insist 😁

Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.

Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?

How about Heineken?

And an idea I could absolutely see Musk hoping to copy, turning Twitter into a US version of WeChat.

Completely agree. It’s really frustrating, not to mention pretty off-putting regarding Linux.

Because every conversation on here that involves Windows will ALWAYS end up with someone saying, “Use Linux”.

Oooooh, oobidoo!
I wanna be like you-oo-oo!
I wanna walk like you!
Talk like you!
Scoo-doo-bidoo!

Not sure, but I was once (un?)fortunate enough to witness what happens when a bear was faced with an orangutan.

I don’t disagree, but I wasn’t really talking about care homes, I was talking about treatment, operations, maternity care, etc.

All fair points - but the fundamental point about people getting access to free healthcare has remained so far.

Just on the free healthcare thing - in the UK, the NHS is hugely iconic national institution, and politically it’s almost a no-go area in terms of its founding principles.

Which is not to say that privatisation hasn’t been creeping into the NHS for some time - it has, starting in earnest with the Thatcher governments on the 80s.

However, no matter how right wing a party is, it would be almost political suicide to make an all out effort to remove the basic tenet of the NHS - universal care, free at the point of delivery.

Unfortunately, what’s tended to happen since the 80s is (IMO) a managed decline of the NHS, with layers of management brought in and services allowed to decline in quality and availability.

The result is that the public do start to question the model, see the NHS as second rate, and start to lose some of that loyalty towards it.

However, it will take some time to ever get to the point where a government or any stripe is safe to even talk openly about moving away from the NHS model.

And hopefully that point will never come, and instead the NHS will be given renewed commitment and support both from government and the wider public.

It really is one of the very best things about the UK, and were we ever to lose it, it would be a criminal dereliction of duty by those into whose care it has been passed.

That would have worked if you hadn’t stopped me.

Yeah, likewise, it’s a beautiful piece of work, genuinely inspiring.

And yeah, it was a fabulous experience to see it on the big screen. It was part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and I’m so glad I caught it 😁

Yay, I was going to say The Farthest too! Amazing doc, that I was lucky enough to see at the cinema, with the director present to talk about it afterwards.

Highly recommend.

I’m not ‘admitting’ anything, I’m confirming it though. And again an anecdote is fine, when you’ve said that something “never” happens.

Anecdote is valid when someone has employed the term “never”.

Yeah that’s pretty much spot on.

The caravans in this case are a type known as static caravans - basically the same sort of accommodation as a mobile, towed caravan, but usually bigger and more or less permanently positioned somewhere. They even sometimes have additional casings that hide the wheels underneath to make them look more like houses.

EDIT, as I didn’t answer your main question. A caravan park is a term used both for something like a trailer park, where customers tow in their own caravan, but also, as in this case, for a holiday park with these static caravans spread around, similar to small lodges.

Behind the bar - yeah, that’s what they mean here too, the people who serve at the bar. As it’s in a holiday park, it’s likely that it’s a family friendly bar where kids are allowed to be as long as their parents are with them, and can even probably go up and order snacks or soft drinks by themselves. It’s not a bar bar in the usual adults only sense.

Tragic story :-(

The other thing about this price point is that it’s a headline grabber - and then once people find out more, they will spot that if you buy a Switch with MK preinstalled, the game costs half that.

So suddenly it feels like, “oh hey, that’s a great deal, and I was obviously going to buy a Switch 2 anyway” - and Nintendo get the sales and the decreased cost of manufacturing the physical game.
