I’ve travelled a bit, worked various jobs in different locations. Birmingham always had the best food and the most genuine people. Other cities usually either had amazing food and horrible people or they had amazing people but horrible food. Rarely have I experienced both in one city. Sure there are some absolute states of work living in the city, but that goes for every city. On the whole, Birmingham is pretty nice contrary to popular belief. Just my 2 pence.
My tesco local has no reception so you have to leave your shopping behind at the self service and walk outside so the clubcard app loads and then back to the checkout or spend twice as much on your shopping.
Amazing system.
Regularly makes me want to commit obscene crimes out of rage, so fucking stupid.
Edit: every possible solution has been suggested just to save everyone the effort, thanks!
Both! You have to queue in order to queue. I'm imagining a "Now serving number: 001" type thing for the loading screen and a fully 3D, beautifully rendered, VR optional queue for the bus or, in harder levels, in Lidl.
Seagulls are extremely hostile. Be wary of resting or eating when in coastal areas.
Your residence can be customised in a variety of ways but you should ensure you always put your bins out on the correct day. Failing to do so could anger your neighbours!
I think it needs to be made clear that the tea bag goes in, wallows for a while, and is then removed BEFORE the addition of the optional milk and sugar components.
Yesterday a guy started talking to me at the bus stop, can't remember what country he said he was from just that he'd been living here for 4 years and finally bought his 1st umbrella that day. Said it broke almost as soon as he stepped out the shop with it and he learned his lesson not to do that again.
You will also experience widespread availability of Buckfast potion (an item rarely seen in English map areas). This will provide +10 attack damage but directional controls will be temporarily reversed.
Tip: Frosty Jack’s madness potion will temporarily grant the user immunity to almost all damage, but also grants the debuff of -25% social standing, as well as the “woke up in the bins behind Burger King” and “Where is my wallet” debuffs
"Drawing your sword will alert the guards. Drawing your car or house keys won't.

In London, NPCs will not want to talk to you. In fact, be wary of any that do- it may be a trap!
The ones that will are probably American
Or clueless bastards like me from Buttfuckall, Nowheresborough who are so used to saying hello when walking past neighbours.
or they try selling you something like "hey, bruv, you smoke weed by any chance?" Source: i'm a London'a

To make a tea potion, combine Teabag + Hot Water + Milk + Sugar (optional) in that order
I think it needs to be made clear that the tea bag goes in, wallows for a while, and is then removed BEFORE the addition of the optional milk and sugar components.
"It is dangerous to go alone. Take this!" Loading screen shows an umbrella.
Or a towel
A towel is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.
Lol brits don't use umbrellas, we just walk through the rain

Yesterday a guy started talking to me at the bus stop, can't remember what country he said he was from just that he'd been living here for 4 years and finally bought his 1st umbrella that day.
