had similar encounters with people asking how much longer it will take to get to Ashford as their Eurostar train leaves soon while on a train that stops at Ashford (Middlesex) instead of Ashford International, in Kent
cf my disaster in Italy when I got off the train at Venezia Miestra (basically an industrial estate at the wrong end of a road bridge) instead of Venezia St Lucia (the bit with the canals and architecture).
> you don't need to right be next to a field to have fresh produce every day and yes
You kind of have, because frozen produce is not the same as real fresh stuff. Yes, better-off people living in metropolises like London or NYC (like many of the users in here) probably lie to themselves in thinking that their money can purchase better food compared to a peasant in Turkey who lives just between an orchard and the Aegean See, but that is not the case.
Full title "What happens when the maintainer of a JS library downloaded 26m times a week goes to prison for killing someone with a motorcycle? Core-js just found out"
it's a shame we don't hear the kids side in the article
people I know who have done this have eventually changed and allowed/bought a phone as the in school peer pressure was huge and the kids ended up feeling excluded from their social groups as not fitting in (nothing wrong with kids finding their own path btw)
on the side note it looks like that is the deputy editor of the bbc.com travel section https://twitter.com/collectingmiles nothing wrong with promoting your teams work I guess, even if you do so silently
looking down the list of submissions interesting to see which articles pick up comments and which don't

I don't know.
I understand (and it is fine with me personally) that someone wants to promote her own team (silently or vocally), but why every other article has its title changed (to a possibly more click-baity one)?
I could understand if the poster was not part of the team, but if she is, either respect the original title the author (or editor) published or have it changed on bbc.com.
it just seems to be the way the bbc do things, the "Rare ingredient..." title is on the main page http://www.bbc.com/travel/columns/food-hospitality, in fact that whole page is massively click-baity compared to the actual article titles
also it seems they thrive on their focus on price - I'm sure a fair part of that is in the licencing of the tie-ins - but you never see them in a race to the bottom
