General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Does CPC.co.uk still exist? Used to use them all the time

Yep, they're great. I used them to buy some LEDs and battery holders for my miniatures.

You can't comment that without a wee pic of your miniatures. Assuming they're not miniature whiskys

Haha, okay, but they're nothing special. I used to buy kits, but now I make them from scratch.

There are for my nieces. I'm currently making a game room for my mate, a full house and I'm thinking of making a mini vinyl shop too.

This was my first attempt at soldering too, as I couldn't find any 3V LEDs prewired. Let's just say it was an adventure, but it was worth it.
