I have a handful of friends I've lent around a grand to before, one considerably more than that. With a repayment plan set up, which was followed, but I don't really know or care what it was used for. Avoiding high interest rates on credit cards I assume.

I think there's a use case for hydrogen batteries there. Use surplus green power generated overnight to split water, then recombine it during high demand times. It's not useful for vehicles, but for static facilities I don't see why it wouldn't work.

That's not how it works in the UK. Everyone progresses through school regardless of how you perform.

"Domestic labour" is a term that refutes the point you're trying to make. Labour just means effort, there's no implicit connection to profit. In fact women's labour has traditionally been unpaid forever, but it's still work.

Not normally my thing, but these places need to turn a profit during the less prime time drinking hours. I wish they had a specific bar for cocktails and another bar for beer though, to get the amateurs out the way.

In the UK I've previously heard it called a CRB check, but seems it's been updated to DBS now

Why are you translating into American?

Pubs aren't restaurants. If your pub has menus on the table after 7pm it's not a pub. It might be a bar, depends how much they're persuading people a pint of shite lager should cost.
