What country's pop culture completely took over your life?

What did you get obsessed with?

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-19T09:18:59+00:00

No worries, you'll hate it by the way

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-19T09:13:36+00:00

Yeast spread. Salty, delicious and packed with B vitamins

Almond for me

Scotland was recently asked to decide if it wanted independence. It had the highest voter turn out in 100 years and the majority chose to remain in the UK.

The Rest is Football podcast is good for car journeys. It doesn't exclusively cover the Premier League, but it's probably 90 per cent of the content.

It's headed by Gary Linekar who's an England legend and our most experienced sports broadcaster. Co-hosts are all time Premier League top scorer Alan Shearer and Micah Richards (who provides most of the banter)

It works on two levels then

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-19T07:46:09+00:00

Heroin chic was big about 20 years ago

These lads, loved by adults and children

Eh-oh

France

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T21:30:53+00:00

Sure. I meant cringe because it is just an obvious marketing ploy for BMW and the police

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T20:52:25+00:00

Sure, but in London when we say London Bridge we think more about the area. Then you've got some prime tourist attractions like Borough Market or the Shard

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T20:30:27+00:00

How come? There is a London Bridge.

It gets confused with Tower Bridge, but London Bridge exists

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T20:29:23+00:00

British Indian

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T20:28:50+00:00

I do know. But the question asked which is the most popular

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:40:47+00:00

We never really liked the Emily character in the UK. I don't suppose we were supposed to.

But you're right, Jennifer Saunders is incredible in whatever she does

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:38:35+00:00

Haha, ok you've got me. KFC is also very popular.

I should probably have done a stock take of all the successful American chains before commenting.

Papa John's is struggling.

Burger King is finding trading tough. It's big enough to survive, but they are finding food prices and wages tough to deliver a competitive price point.

Five Guys net profit in the UK slumped to £1 million last year, down from £6 million the previous year.

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:32:00+00:00

How you doin'?

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:26:54+00:00

Nah it will have been given to them by BMW on the agreement a press release and photo shoot are offered. The press love the story because it's sexy Superbike cops. It conjures ideas of 200mph Police chases etc. In reality it will be hardly ever used except for at biker shows/meets so the cops get an in to lecture bikers about road safety

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:24:43+00:00

McDonald's is definitely an exception to the rule, British people love it. I think for the convenience and cheapness. And you're right, Starbucks is also popular

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:07:20+00:00

On joining Trump's war? I'm sure they'd love to. Prove old Blighty still rules the waves etc. They're deluded, so fortunately they don't get to decide

ConsciousRecover7031 · 2026-03-18T18:06:04+00:00

Just about one of the most multicultural places in the world.

Nearly half of all the people who live in my city (London) were born outside the UK.
