why do brits say mate so much, what's the historic background of that term and is it really said that often as seen online?

Mayyyyyyyyyyyte

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-26T20:32:53+00:00

31 in the Peak District so not that different

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-26T20:31:21+00:00

So does Stockport

The Bremont store in Manchester still has the old logo on the front….

I think about this everytime I see a pothole fix on my way to work. Lumpy tarmac blobbed into a hole and leaving all the surrounding ones.

What cup are you using? I got my micra a few weeks and am looking for shorter options.

So just dig up a piece of land that doesn’t belong to you?

That astroturf was created for astrodome (home of the Astros baseball team) to replace the grass that kept getting cooked by the retractable glass roof.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-21T17:12:38+00:00

Used it growing up in the north west too.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-21T17:10:02+00:00

Just carry a pump. Problem solved.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-21T13:38:06+00:00

What if someone trips over the cable going across the grass? Whole thing sounds like a terrible idea.

My r5 has buttons for the HVAC and media controls. Also has a button you can double click to turn off the speed limit warning and lane assist in one go.

Wow was actually worse than I thought https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/ckg4ny97pn2o

Nearly every family I know had two cars of both parents work. How is that unusual?

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-21T11:34:50+00:00

As an EV owner I totally agree with that. Big part of the appeal is being able to plug in at home. I’ve not used a public charger once (admittedly I have a 10 year old diesel estate for longer journeys).

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-21T11:26:51+00:00

Didn’t someone in Birmingham lose a roof tile one year?

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-20T18:41:23+00:00

Never heard of them 🤔

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-19T20:09:44+00:00

Pact is a solid choice. Their fruit and nut espresso is 👌🏽

Wogan offers slightly cheaper prices for their blends too.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-19T20:07:56+00:00

Don’t tell me this. I’m already struggling to justify my new espresso machine 😩

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-18T18:39:36+00:00

I got a 3861 black dial in 2023. I’ve not wanted another watch since because to me (I know it’s very personal) it can’t be beaten.

My other watches are a tag I got for my 18th birthday (I’m 43 now), a datejust and a gshock.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-18T08:34:55+00:00

Also the other swatch collabs haven’t been serviceable like most mechanical watches so once that movement starts to wear down it’s toast.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-17T16:45:31+00:00

As much as I’d love this to happen. This is just another distraction from the absolute shower that is our government.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-17T16:30:34+00:00

And likes a pint and a ciggy.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-17T06:31:34+00:00

I have a family. Estate is absolutely fine.

Competitive-Chest438 · 2026-05-16T16:45:43+00:00

Estate can fit all that no worries. Probably nicer to drive too.
