  • Pedo in a meadow flows better in American English where they say ped-oh. The British version doesn’t flow as well in this example but is generally superior for shouting at someone. For example, if Trump had been allowed to see the public when visiting the UK you would hear “Fucking peee-doooh!”

    It kinda is though, people who buy holiday homes are directly responsible for pushing up the price to the point that local people can no longer afford to live there. Then they don’t even live in those holiday homes so the local economy is fucked. Why hire any workers for 9 months of the year when your customers are only there for 3 months of the year?

    Tourists may benefit some local business owners (or chains) while having a negative impact on many others.

    Take a small fishing or farming village for example, now it becomes popular with tourists. House prices shoot up to what Londoners can afford and as they only use it as a holiday home it becomes a ghost town in winter.
