    This is a whole sub-genre in British tabloids. Absolute melts pointing at things with a sad or annoyed face.

    Cannot for the life of me remember the collective term for them.

    also I feel like this area would be soo cozy without the fence and with a big tree to give some shade to rest under. maybe a hammock tied to the house or something too

    The front garden is not space to get cozy in the UK, especially if you live somewhere where neighbours pose for compo face for the local paper, have a triple head crease at the head neck neutral zone, keep white goods or sofas in the front garden etc. I expect if you explore the area where this photo was taken, there is a pub with a flat roof and no other amenities than a chip shop, bookies, vape shop.

    For the record, I absolutely love places like this

    Is this image AI? the reflections in the window, the perfect snowman, that film grain filter... it looks too perfect to me.

    I get that vibe. I've seen a different photo with an extremely similar background that was definitely AI. This is kind of the most average looking UK houses, no house numbers, no logo on the security decide. Definitely suspicious.

    Says the man with appliances on his front lawn. The British really are the ‘mericuhns of Europe aren’t they?

    De Gaulle vetoed the British application to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, famously uttering the single word 'non' into the television cameras at the critical moment, a statement used to sum up French opposition towards Britain for many years afterwards.[41] Macmillan said afterwards that he always believed that de Gaulle would prevent Britain joining, but thought he would do it quietly, behind the scenes. He later complained privately that "all our plans are in tatters".[35]

    American President John F. Kennedy urged de Gaulle to accept the United Kingdom in the EEC, stating that a Europe without Great Britain would create a situation in which the United States were bearing the enormous costs of Europe's protection without any voice. Kennedy applied pressure to de Gaulle by threatening to withdraw American troops from European soil, but de Gaulle believed that the United States would lose the Cold War if they were to leave Europe.[42] It encouraged de Gaulle to see Great Britain as America's "Trojan Horse".[43]

    It depends on where you live, but generally you leave stuff out the front if you want to get rid of it (fridges, freezers, ovens, mattresses, sofas etc) - either officially, by arranging a "bulky goods" collection from the council, or waiting for someone who wants/needs it to take it. Large appliances generally get picked up by "rag and bone" men who weigh the metal in for scrap.

    Remember that a large chunk of urban population don't drive at all, and the majority that do drive small vehicles for short journeys - so not many people can take stuff like that to a recycling centre themselves.

    In his defense, he is doing his best to save the climate by keeping his refrigerator outside in the Winter!

    An indoor refrigerator in the winter is essentially a resistive heater. It's not nearly as good as a heat pump, but may be better for the environment that burning gas, depending on the local electricity mix.

    That is an excellent point that I had not considered—it might actually be more efficient to make use of the heat in your food to heat your home than to pump it outside!

    That's not my main point as I don't think the heat capacity of food is so important over the long term.

    I mean, that the inevitable inefficiency of the fridge in a closed system, is no different, that any other device consuming the same amount of energy, as it all ends as waste heat.

    We put our old furniture/appliances out, and when the scrap man passes they take it away for free (or you can call the council and they'll take it away for free also).

    I've got a couch out in my garden at the moment, council's taking it to the tip on Monday.

    ...Where are we supposed to leave it for pickup, on the roof?

    The court granted him 33% custody of the resulting man.

    A few tells

    • fridge in the yard?
    • snowman is too perfect
    • not enough snow to make said snowman
    • asymmetrical townhouse (different windows, etc.)

    But the biggest giveaway

    • the bricks on the house are of inconsistent sizes. Sometimes they are too long, sometimes too short. If you zoom in it becomes apparent (easiest to see on the right half of the house)

    Keeping a fridge outside in the winter is brilliant. Saving on electricity is good for the environment.

    Yeah that's a dick move, it's so rare that we get snow, I enjoy looking out of the window and seeing it.

    Not to mention that it's taboo over here to enter someone else's garden without good reason, this bloke's asking for it though, where's his hedge? Not even a fence? Come on. But I digress.

    Thing is, if they'd just asked I bet he'd have said sure, and been happy to help, but it's people stepping over the line and going outside of the basic social contact we have in our communities, that's what pisses ya off.
