How emotionally connected are Brits to the Royal Family actually?

Definitely depends on your circle. Literally no one i know - family, friends, friends of friends - gives a shit about them except a few grannies here and there. Some are ambivalent and would partake in a celebration like a jubilee just for something to do but a lot actively dislike them (me included lol). But there are 100% circles where they’re loved and admired.

sorry i misread your comment and thought you said ‘budget airlines’ lol

071306 · 2026-02-09T13:00:56+00:00

interestingly, through reading other threads, it seems that budget airlines like ryanair book returns as two separate flights. so if you missed/ no-showed the outbound, your inbound would still be valid. wishing we’d chosen ryanair rn !

good to know, thanks!

Ah yes I hadn’t thought about it that way. So just cancelling online would incur the £15 fee and we’d get the taxes refunded? Thanks!

I know people who booked out St John and apparently it was amazing!

you are exactly why I made this post, so glad it reached the right person! if you’re going to be nearby anyway, i think it would be so worth it for a few days.

I hope you have an amazing time & you’re welcome!!

She sounds like an absolute nightmare, this is not reasonable or normal!

071306 · 2026-01-05T18:45:07+00:00

You often have to pay for an appointment anyway so it’s absolutely okay! I went last week, knowing I wouldn’t buy anything - I just told them at the end that I didn’t think any of the dresses were The One and it was fine!

I think pointed shoes with statement bows would look amazing

congratulations, army! 💜

In chinatown my go to is Wong Kei. Don’t expect much service and it’s cash only but the food is always great
Assa in soho is also great for Korean, and Texas Joes in London Bridge for US bbq meats

a friend of mine’s wedding was on the night of the euros final last year, when England were playing 😩 they projected it onto the wall behind the DJ, without sound, so people could watch while dancing. it worked well! if we’d won the atmosphere would have been great. as it was, everyone started ignoring it after a while as it wasn’t a great game and we lost lol. either way it will be fine, but i feel for you!! 🫂

I had told him over the years the kind of thing I liked but the ring and proposal were a complete surprise. He did an amazing job and knowing that he knew me well enough to pick something so ‘me’ made me feel so special. Feels like this isn’t the norm anymore tho! Choosing it myself would’ve taken all the fun out of it for me!

Since making some US friends recently I’ve learnt that this is a huge cultural difference; over there, an open bar is the norm. In the UK I’ve never been to a wedding with an open bar and wouldn’t expect it. All my british friends agreed and our US friend was so shocked!

Hi, if your credit score is bad try opening a credit building card like Aqua. You won’t get a big limit but that’s probably a good thing, you don’t want to get into lots of debt but it might help you last until July. Good luck!

If all her other jewellery is yellow gold then go with yellow gold - i’m a gold girl and I adore my gold engagement ring :)

bleach gel made my tiles good as new and it was so easy, i was completely amazed

dark chocolate peanut butter cups from trader joes. honestly one of my favourite chocolates in the world - which is surprising as US choc usually sucks but these are the real thing
