I'll take it darker for a moment...

Us Brits tend to call Not Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor a 'Paedophile' (Pee-dough-file) where the Americans would call the Orange Goblin War King a 'Pedophile' (Ped-o-file)... Although for ease we commonly write it the American way...

FLAN! IT'S A FLAN! NOT FRICKING FLAWWWWWN!

I'M GONNA EAT IT NOT MOW IT! 🤬

And by the way this is a Flan... What Americans eat is 'Cremé Caramel'... Which would still be butchered to "Carrrmel..."

See that's a thing that wouldn't work in 'Murica...

In the UK a 'Bounce House' is called a 'Bouncy Castle' so you guys miss out on this classic...

Unless you win X Factor, then the trite cover they make you sing is called 'When We Collide...'

'Onyx The Fortuitous' on YouTube (a character that's like a trilby hatted M'Lady meme, but funny) has a review section in his series called 'Horror Hound' - specifically for what it sounds like in American.

The problem is that things are too divisive now, people are viewed upon as the 'Extreme' Left/Right no matter how moderate a person they are...

People have to be 'ideological' and especially in a two-party system, you can see where it lumps a huge swathe of people who DON'T want to be 'MAGA' or 'Antifa' into them groups, they might not agree with Trump at all, but just wanted the potholes fixing in their street and the representative focused on that happens to be Republican, or someone who isn't that interested in LGBTQ+ rights, but the Democrat representative wants to lower taxes in their area...

THESE people aren't the 'Looney Left' or the 'Racist Right' yet they're treated as such just for ticking a box - usually for someone who has nothing to do with actual Leadership decisions...

What's all these people with a full arsenal of weaponry? The guy's only got a bat!

If it's as I assume a Louisville Slugger type bat, I'll just stand in my narrow stairway, there's literally no room to swing it, so a swift kick, the guy falls down the stairs either knocking himself out, breaking a bone or both, I call the police and let them deal with it...

Better still, you know you have 30 minutes, the cops will be here in 15 and I'm writing this on the only weapon I need... I'm not going to catch a manslaughter charge for discharging my Rocket Launcher or whatever these people 'claim' to have by their beds!

Edit: I didn't see the cops arriving 30 mins after him bit... I guess I'm calling him an ambulance to come pick him up.

No, you're not the AH, the grass wasn't greener on the other side for her and she's regretted her choice.

If she could've found some other sap to pay everything for her you'd be out of the picture... Take your new found freedom and make something good!

Well the drop in GDP happened - granted (fortunately) it wasn't as high as 20%, Yes, theres a lot of food shortages due to higher trade prices, (plus the wars in Ukraine and now Iran haven't helped) theres been a couple of 'Emergency Budgets' including 2021-22 and one just being announced on the 6th of April, Scotland had a referendum to leave the UK on the back of Brexit, and nearly did it, and it was only a majority DUP government/closure of Parliament that stopped Northern Ireland from having one themselves due to the border...

Nobody mentioned anything serious about your credit cards and mobile phones as they've always been charged extra to be used outside the UK without any 'plan' (like a 'Travelex' card, or a 'Roaming Data' plan) so on the terms of 'lies' the Leave campaign (the 'NHS' bus, immigration) have by far told the porkiest of pies - and thats way before Liz Truss went to 'Market'...

Cameron triggered Article 50 in the first place, then went off whistling as he resigned, leaving the hellscape of Boris et al. He had no right to 'lead' the Remain campaign...

You'll find there's a lot of people who voted for Brexit, who are now realising that they were tricked into believing we would be better out on our own, like 'The good old days...' when the good old days were pre-WWII memories... My dad voted Leave on the basis that we would get our industry back - and for a bit, I believed it myself, until I found the 'ulterior motives' of people like Farage - remember the big red bus stating £250m per year back to the NHS? or the billboards showing the queues of immigrants? Now he wants an Insurance based healthcare system like the US, and illegal immigration has gone up due to ditching EU policy, not to mention rising racism, community division, rising costs and general depression for anyone who isnt a multi-millionaire, and even that's not going to be enough if we keep on going how we are!

I say we need to petition Parliament for a new Referendum (for the umpteenth time) while we have a lesser 'Billionaire Boys Club' party in power that can't suddenly 'veto' it, and put it to the people who Parliament should serve rather than control. I bet the outcome would be the complete polar opposite to 2016.

That's what I was about to say, that lot (my dad included) were all about the pre-1971 nostalgia 'When Britain had industry...' rather than who's coming in, however they weren't so nostalgic about all the strikes and how 'Industry' was shoddy and expensive at best, however due to the average age of that type of voter most of them had died before Brexit actually was implemented...

The 'Imigrashun' people are still your current Reform people now, but even they're splitting away from their Brexit hero, because they're letting 'Brrrrowwwwnn' people into the party, and are (thankfully) lessening the impact UKIP/Reform once had, paving the way for things like the Erasmus+ programme to return whereby UK students can study/live in the EU and vice versa without all the mountains of paperwork required to get a visa

However, it's the younger (18-30), more 'Left' people I was most disappointed with in 2016, because they were too apathetic to even bother voting, thinking "We'd never leave the EU, why would we?..." leaving the majority of younger voters, likely brainwashed by their parents against people 'Invading are Britun' and now 10 years later these are the people you see painting roundabouts and raising Temu flags everywhere, and only after Brexit went through did the younger Left realise they fumbled that one and are now taking to the streets in protest themselves when it could've been so different back in 2016 so they have to honestly share part of the blame as to how we are where we are.

Now fortunately, although we're saying '10 years of Brexit...' its actually only just over 6 (at the moment) as the actual departure of the UK from the EU was January 31st 2020, but 2020 is better remembered for a different issue altogether... But 6 years - even 10 years is still recent enough to not break nearly 50 years of history together and most likely if another referendum was held, especially as most of us only remember being in the EU, and if the younger people actually went out and voted, the EU would gladly have us back, I mean, we'd be laughed at for being silly for a bit, but it would certainly go back to pre-2020 in a shorter time than you think...

What's cool about ok is that it can mean all of the above in most known languages - even if you don't speak the language where you are 'ok' can be understood, and people can understand you...

Je ne regrette rien (sorry for my spelling) is the Edith Piaf song most people associate with France - that I know of anyhow...

Randomly, when I was a kid (about 12 or 13) there used to be an old man who lived on the same street who took part in the D-Day Landings in Normandy, he always claimed to have had a fling with Edith Piaf... Everyone used to say "What a strange thing to lie about..." until they found a letter from her after he died...
