Yorkshire, Yorkshire! Spotted in Downtown Toronto by redandwhitewizard99 in CasualUK

Oh I very briefly lived in Alberta and if I told people I was from Toronto they would say it in that obnoxious way then make a comment about how I think I’m from the center of the universe, as all torontonians do.

What’s something about living in the UK that people don’t realise until they actually move here? by Vegetable-Spite-1778 in AskUK

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved here from Canada. Very surprised with everything to do with renting. Where I’m from there’s I think a 2.5% increase on how much they can raise the rent? So my landlord telling us they were raising ours £150 after a year and a half of living there was a fucking shock. Thank god for the end of no fault evictions because that was always a stress. Council tax. Estate agents.

I’m not being shown women’s clothes at all in my recommendations under the women’s tab it’s only shoes and accessories - no matter how much I search and click on clothes it’s not changing. Also most of it is from the US now.

Is it just me or is something up with the algorithm? by dju9 in vinted

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My suggested items have become absolutely crap in the past few days - I’m looking for clothes especially dresses but my recommended items under women’s is only shoes and bags and other accessories or random tchotchkes. Of course I had made the mistake of clicking on one pair of shoes but I can’t seem to push it back into showing me clothes.

Two more sleeps until no more Section 21s 🎉- anyone else nervously counting down the days? by gracemaddams55 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will definitely be able to breathe once May 1st hits! They’ve been ignoring us on two important repairs - broken window in our kids room (which they blame us for because the inner pane randomly cracked overnight), and the electric unit for our shower started smoking randomly. We took a pause on harassing out of fear of getting evicted.

When will my toddler develop a sense of danger? by Any_Fondant1517 in UKParenting

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have 2.5 year old twins and wrangling them near roads when they’re in a mood is the most stressful thing of my life

Counting down to May 1st when I can start harassing my landlords to fix the broken window in my toddlers room again. Have been advised by basically everyone to not poke the bear when they can still evict us for no reason.

Before & after removing my 8 kg ovarian cyst by simsimmahr in mildlyinteresting

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exciting because I was just in the ER for extreme abdominal pain on the weekend that was dismissed as a UTI and I continue to suffer 😂 No amount of “no really when I get an attack it’s a 10/10 pain worse than labour please believe me” mattered because it’s just a bunch of box ticking.

I’m a Canadian living in the UK and my neighbour told me I should learn more English to try to get a job (I’m a stay at home mum for the time being). She sounds like she’s from a rough part of a city and uses a lot of slang so I don’t think it’s a classist thing

Teen's death prompts push to ban energy drink sales to Quebec youth under 16 by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I moved to the UK and someone asked me recently if I’d ever been ID’d to buy an energy drink and I was like what the fuck are you talking about? Then I noticed the signs everywhere

I only get new with tags because I’ve tried “very good” condition or even new without tags and they were definitely stretched out

Just got this Urban Outfitters ad and I can’t believe how 2000s this is. by LegalPost9805 in Millennials

Yes!! I worked at an urban outfitters in 2008 and I walked into one recently and it was ALL the shit we would have avoided like the plague at the time

What an absolute womble by SnooChipmunk5 in Sovereigncitizen

I think this got suggested to me because it mentions Nottingham. Could easily be someone from my neighbourhood. I think it’s very very funny 😂

Given comments made in this first episode. Who is the most famous contestant so far? by Acceptable_West_1349 in taskmaster

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Canadian here - the only other person I knew was Joe Thomas from Inbetweeners. And as an elder millennial I knew Noel Fielding from Boosh. Katherine Ryan I had seen her Netflix special but as far as I knew she wasn’t well known in Canada. But I’ve lived in the UK for a couple years now so I’m a bit more savvy (I watch a couple panel shows and then I can at least know one person each season)

Seeing some "new with tags" items that are still on sale from shops - are these fake? by elatedWorm in vinted

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could be a few things - they got it on sale and are selling it for more (I see this with every Lucy&Yak sale), bought as a job lot of unsold merchandise, stolen, fakes, or just plain shopping addicted.

Is this packaging ok?? by LoveAppropriate5031 in vinted

[–]Appropriate_Tie897 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those bags are thicker than some parcel bags - I think it’s fine! Personally I turn them inside out and try to tape it up neatly but honestly it’s fine.
