UK forestry (as far as I've seen) mostly consists of felling sitka spruce and lodgepole pine monocultures that were planted right after WW2 and never taken care of again. As a result the wood is shit quality and mostly goes for pulp/chipboard or biomass.

Higher grades of timber need to have straight grain and less knots, so that is achieved by selectively thinning out the forest maybe every 10 years, and pruning off lower branches. But this adds a lot of man-hours and cost, so I've never seen anyone doing that in UK. Tbf I haven't been around the industry at all since COVID, and the price of timber went up so much maybe things are changing.

Running a search uses far more resources (energy/ carbon footprint) than accessing a known url directly.

I'm so sure that this thing will happen, that I'm willing to make a bet whereby I'll pay you dollars if it doesn't happen, and you pay me donuts if it does. I feel like I'm getting free donuts and my dollars are not at risk.

A humerous combo of 'Do bears shit in the woods?' and 'Is the Pope Catholic?' Which are two jokey ways of saying 'Yeah, obviously, duh'.

To clarify to your question, what's inexpensive largely depends on what is already in your cupboards, but hitting those 4 areas will usually work out well.

I've seen a lot of good suggestions, but I wanted to point out the common theme that a marinade should have oil, salt, acid, and unami (savory/ meatiness). So for asian style maybe sesame oil, vinegar, Soy sauce (Soy sauce does salt + unami). Or my mum's was orange juice, red wine, garlic, salt & pepper. I'd maybe add some Worcestershire sauce or olive brine for a bit extra unami, but smell it, taste it, go with your gut...

Interesting, what kind of jobs did you see that at in the uk? In my experience manual/ trades would try to finish up early on a Friday to go to the pub, but not have a beer at lunch then go back to work. And in offices it would be frowned on.
