Questions people bring to people
The questions a document can't answer, kept by situation.
Some questions are not answered by any document, because the answer is in a person: what a decision actually cost, what a street was like within living memory, what a job is like in a bad week, whether it was worth it. This site keeps those questions by situation — what is known, what can't be found by searching, and where the people who have been through it already gather.
Situations
- Leaving the forces after years in — what's the first year actually like?
- Moving back to the UK after years abroad — and back to the town you left
- First in your family to go to university — should you, and what's it like?
- Who lived on this street, who ran the shop, and what was it like?
- The last people who still make it by hand — crafts with a handful of practitioners left
- What a job is actually like, from someone doing it — not the website version
- Retraining as a teacher in your forties — is it worth it, and what's it really like?
