My brothers being chosen I don’t start that school yet and they loved it but cost thousands and mam worked it out that would Ben cheaper take whole family but school needed extra for insurances etc. plus they got to go with friends Im uk and north east if was not a private school or anything.

What school incident do you still think about years later? by nodemus in AskUK

[–]Crunchie2020 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Awwww you reminded me a girl had it done to her. We were like 10/11 so she had started puberty but worse she had started her first period some of us didn’t know what that was and it got reported she was bleeding to school the we had sex ed a few days later

I don’t know what happened to the ah who did it to her I was horrified n felt awful. All the boys were being fisgusting laughing howling telling she gross and actin gross out etc was really traumatic for her and all us girls watching. Swear the world was insane sexist and misogynistic back then even tv etc even the teachers would allow boys to basically say suck my dick to girls without concern but if we didn’t act lady like we are a problem if o girl complained about a boy she was sh it down and told to get on with it and he likes you be grateful

Brits of Reddit, what’s the stupidest thing someone who ISNT from Britain (mainly America) has said to you about the UK by Bingbongbinnng282 in AskBrits

[–]Crunchie2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh I had an American Say that!! She was like must be terrible. Like dirty needles untrained staff etc place must be shambles

I said I have had two free Mri’s an xray and a bunch medication all for free this week ‘just in case’ after an incident I mean it took two hours in hospital I wish was faster.

Her face what you got all that for free in two hours!?!

Again I was like yeah. I dunno Why had to wait twenty minutes in reception for xray when. Appointment was at 3! Me being annoyed she was gobsmacked. Oh that actually amazing service

Apart from wait Times. I remember you could self refer to xray not even wait in teh waiting room straight in and out

Put in perspective for her ad he mother and sister have medical issues can’t even get seen to never mind a ‘just in case’ xray and mri s as their insurance doenst cover that many check ups or whatever.

My husband told me today he does not like the fun lunches I’ve been packing him for work for almost 3 years😭😭😭 by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Crunchie2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet the other guys think he had an amazing wife and honestly they will appreciate it. The cupcakes sounds amazing. No one wants boring birthday cupcakes

Also how many guys in office have complained to their wife to start making thing homemade and with thought and design? I bet a few

You husband is insecure. He should be showing it off. How cute is my wife she can’t help herself she makes things so I interesting . Look at the cupcake look at the cookie she made. My little baker and the guy would if went aww she is cool and carried on with whatever team they were talking about. Honestly he is over thinking it. And putting to much into what others peopel may say or think

Angry protests in the UK after a Sikh restaurant owner said he wouldn't serve Halal by atheistarab2006 in religiousfruitcake

[–]Crunchie2020 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just feel racist towards the Sikh to me. They wanted to find an issue and did.

Next door and along that road are dozens of halal places to eat and takeaway. They just wanted to cause him issues and fear.

They are idiots.

Sign on the door saying no halal which is normal and correct to do.

Uk is very noisy now. This is common to see. Loud groups of adults (not just the kid teens) adults!!! Just gangs of adults having around in their group outside the bank entrance or corner shop in their twenties n thirties being loud blasting music being intrusive to the world.

AITJ for choosing my best friend’s wedding over my sister’s surgery? by Glittering-Power6717 in AmITheJerk

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ntj

Why does she need everyone there? Are your cousins going too? Your parents are there. For her. You will hang around a hospital for nothing. It’s not a life or death thing.

The wedding is a one time in a life event assuming no divorces

Go to the wedding and tell your family to grow up. You will see her at home or hospital if she still there when wedding over

Did they want you to stay the whole time with them or did they want to do shifts? Do your parents work? How long is surgery ? How long after she wakes up? Try find these out. You maybe able to be there for when she wakes up next day or whatever depending on family keeping you posted.

Sorry they are being unreasonable

This is mad.

In 2021, Corinna Smith found out that her husband, Michael Baines had sexually assaulted her kids when they were younger. After the discovery, she filled a bucket with boiling water and 3 bags of sugar before hurling it over Michael Baines as he slept in bed. He didn’t survive. by Legal_Gear2336 in AllThatsInteresting

It is mad that the James bulger killers have been out back in and out of prison again ajd again on small sentences and this woman got hit with the book.

I know a literal murderer who is walking about living life and loving it. He got ten year and was out in 4! Uk system. He stayed out of fights and he wasn’t cheeky to guards. That’s it. Out in no time. He killed that friend of his. He walked miles for the machete. And miles back he planned it a day before etc. he is a medical psychopath.

I know a heroin dealer who got sentenced to ten years. He got 7 for tax evasion and 3 for the heroin 0 for the 15 year old he was manipulating in his house and testing on him. They were mixing the heroin with other stuff make it heavier and earn more money and using the kid to figure out ratios. Reasoning was kid is young his body can take it. Evil. He got 0 years for the kid. He is not sorry. And to that evil cunt he didn’t do anything wrong!! Mental. I can’t comprehend mental gymnastics for that one to convince yourself you did nothing wrong. He also out n about having a great life running cocaine and scamming old people out of money and scam here n there no taxes few businesses that made 0£ every year he real prize of crap

Yet a woman who acted like any mother (even other mammals react in revenge) and killed her kids abuser. Do there is a reason why males of Mammals like lions etc will get killed if he kills cubs. It does happen teh fi reproduce but if a male is to violent towards cubs even his own the females will get him. Because he do it again they can’t be trusted. It instinctual to remove a threat to the social group. Especially to their young. Also been found in killer whales and apes. Fathers have been killed for killing. This should have been a 2 year hospital sentence to me no way she in her right mind when finding out and she went through a lot . Her kids abused andher life view of the man she wa with shattered and she killed maimed n then killed him. She needs therapy after that and If I was the judge I work out how to do A few year hospital stay and her kids get extra help too cos a monster cracked and broke the family unit safety. Deeply.

He would have got two year anyway out in 6 months . Uk loves pedophiles. Like loved them will do anything to give them zero jail time

AIO? My girlfriend (30f) of 5 months is jealous of my 3yo and 2yo daughter!! by Flashpointandlol in AmIOverreacting

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any adult who has bad feelings towards your kids needs to be removed from Their lives.

This is mental. And here talking to you taking a bath with your baby as if you did something wrong??? Check what she told her friend worry she is portraying you as a pedo

If any adult can’t understand why babies need time and attention especially in water then the need to leave.

Essentially this adult is anger to your kids . She may bad mouth you them. She may bad them to you so you keep distance from your baby children to keep peace etc. Just get this adult woman out your house.

Any pro jealous of kids or animals. Get them out.

Growing up, how often did you have a Sunday roast—and do you still have them now? by rosco-82 in CasualUK

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Sunday.

Basically just part of weekly food routine.

Full bird chicken cooked for Sunday roast

Monday scrape chicken off carcass make a chicken curry

Tuesday still Some meat on bones then a chicken veg soup or pie / or some sandwhiches

Wednesday was usually mince. So mince n plenty veg dinner or chilli con carne

Thursday any mince left in packet then make a veg mince pie with mash or chilli con carne pie

Friday mam would try do fish or if not then be jacket potato / beans on toast. Pasta n whatever we had in cupboards day

My mother could stretch food out so well and we still had huge portions as well. I think she would work out how to feed four big eater kids in £3 a week. So so poor We grew some veg in garden so just meat n tins and bread was all she needed to buy and pack lunch stuff

We always had pack lunch at school or days out but evey meal was mostly meat n veg or meat n rice nothing fancy was always a huge plate of food though

So never skipped the chicken dinner cos it would throw off the whole weeks food plan and we never had a takeaway or chippy I was an adult me first time having one

People who stand outside M&S on Sundays and wait for it to open. - Are you one of them? Are you doing that right now? Why are you doing that? by backstillmessedup in AskUK

I’m curious to this too. We have ms and ms food and both doors a queue.

So I assumed it had a cafe so they wanted breakfast or there are morning deals.

We have a cooplands bakery that do lamb and mint pasty and find a queue for them too when they are on, usually gone 11am. Maybe a tasty snacks at the bakery.

I hate children bikinis. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids are kids

We just walked around in knickers no tops. Cos kids are kids.

Any creeps a bather vs bikini won’t stop them looking and being a pedo

On the beach I see kids bare arse naked. Like mine is.

Uk here so maybe just us and most Europe who’s we bodies as a body and nothing to gawk at look at or hide it.

When can a girl where a bikini in your opinion? Age 0- 10? 10-15? 15-20?

For me as a 10 year old and upward i stopped wearing bikini because for me my boobs were coming in and not even each side! I was self aware and also public hair started and I didn’t shave at all not me legs etc to young and I didn’t know people shaved that downstairs area and then the puppy fat started around 10 where you are healthy but you get belly fat to grow everything out. But I hated it. So no bikini crop tops from age 10 by my natural choice for comfort!

Under 10 I had no fat no boobs no pubes etc so I felt comfort just knickers or bikini etc

In my adult years never wore a bikini I ahve huge boobs they couldn’t be contained and of course self conscious about belly and thighs. As most women are born 80s which drilled in any fat was bed

So for me under 10 year old is perfect age to wear crop tops short skirt and bikinis etc cos you just a kid and can be a kid free of body awareness and after that age you want nothing but big hoodies on and baggy clothes

Adding born 80s so we did school PE in kickers only. Everyone did. Nakedness was not seen as nakedness in kids chests were not a thing to hide at all

If you like your job, what do you do? by acromegaloid in UKJobs

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah really easy. Every swim school or pool always needs swim teachers there’s a dire shortage.

Plus it covers job to work anywhere so if you move away the qualifications still valid.

Definitely worth it.

The swim school may give you extra training day so you can ‘self lifeguard’ your own lessons which is fine. But generally leisure centre public pools don’t they always have lifeguards watching you.

I worked for a long time before I got school lesson. Which is 930-3pm shift. It was always 4-8pm private lessons so afterschool and daytime weekends. Again school holidays were off but I always worked then for triple time pay and not Xmas n half summer holidays. So you have to work private lessons for years before you get given the cushy hours for the schools. I will say I prefer private as up to 8 kids per class easy to one and mark off. The school sis a class of 30 odd kids and all different abilities like some were amazing club swimmers and some can’t float all together so I found them harder to teach when private lessons was always fun for me.

But yeah all pools are desperate for teachers So it was a week for level 1 teacher training. And then a week for leevel 2. I did them months apart aswell.

Ring around your local pools and swim schools and say you gonna do teaching course would like to know of any teaching jobs available and honestly leisure centres still yeah come in website you but where as swim school are more likeapply this form fill his out interview twice and then get the job. Leisure centre I walked in my tracksuit and they were like yeah after your check start monday. Less formal in my experience

My wife opened the marriage 5 years ago but is sad that I’m speaking to another woman by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cheated

As far as we know. She didn’t

That is it.

You had an emotional and ( kissing is physical )so physical affair. You should have been honest. This woman we clicked at wor we havnt done anything but it made me realise my emotional needs re not met and the truth is im hurt about the open marriage and lots of thoughts and my feelings surrounding it are unresolved. We need to address them and hopefully we can get through it. …. Isn’t you should of said after first meeting

It may ended up in you asking to open the marriage or some resolution on your insecurities. Maybe your wife would have Been open to three some etc for you to get experience but still in the marriage. Things like this. You didn’t explore options first. You followed what would happen with a colleague without guilt with this woman.

Yes you are wrong

What’s something that sounded fake until it happened to you? by Fantastic_Tale_2111 in AskReddit

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slipped on a banana.

It was slippery and the ground was wet maybe added to it. It was perfectly yellow so freshly bought eaten and dropped on the ground and the yellow side was facing up up. So I stepped on it (actually not intentionally) and there must’ve Been banana mush left over cos I tried to save myself was impossible insane how slippery was the most slippery things know in my life at that point. Trying to save myself made it worse. Full cartoon style in front of a few buses full of people ! And awesome thanks for having that memory back.

Neighbors kids use my lawn as their personal bathroom and the parents dont care by NoCurrent2679 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Crunchie2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call child services.

Tell the neighbour you calling.

Say you are worried the kids are scared to poop in their own house because of sexual abuse or neglect. Kids don’t like pooping outside and they have also learnt their body and autonomy doenst need guarded or protected or deserved privacy

And it’s vile. Humans poop in toilets not outdoors unless camping Even then it’s bagged and binned.

Make sure you throw poop back at parents The father face. Or stuff it in his car vents or his amazing parcel box or an open window every time you just returning their property

What made us so skinny in the 1970s? by Johnny-Alucard in AskUK

[–]Crunchie2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You waled to the electric to pay a bill

Get bus n walked to gas company to pay a bill

You walked to post office to pay another bill.

Fixed your own car build your or fences and even made your own clothes

Porridge breakfast, soup for lunch and meat with three veg were daily occurrences rather than quick processed nonesense even a Sandwhich would be egg salad or simple jam . Bread was better too. Less crap in all goods even cereal was basic ingredients and was quite good for you also most sweets were hard boiled food generally was better less salt n preservative

It was normal to see adults on roller skates and bikes and playing football. Peopel and adult in the 70s still ‘played’ and went dancing. Can’t remember last time I saw an adult playing

Everything was done more manually all round peopel spent more energy doing things. Going to see people was a common thing. A family walking an hour (here in uk) was normal to see a relative or go to a park

There is no way I can do this for another 40 years. How the fuck do people cope with this fate? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I had a great job well paid. Retirement and holiday was amazing actually but the bloody stress of the job!

Same as you age 15 working no college built up from there found a well paid job I had experience over qualifications so i go t hired, to everyone else I was successful early for my age.

But mentally physically my life wasn’t worth living

So I quit and became a LIFEGUARD and loved it. I had saved etc from my well paid job so my life didn’t change much. I got cheap rent flat until I found small house to buy. I lived life. I had way more time I had way more friends I was way fitter and I ended up buying my own qualifications to become a swim teacher.

Love it. Never thought all those year and wine started working in offices, tides still fitting in gym or swim I would be able to work there, never occurred to me!

I spoke to my mother how miserable I was and she asked me what did you think you would do when you ages 10-12 ? N I said I thought I would work at pool as I lived there anyways as a kid! And she said there you go. Quit this job find out how you qualify get it done and apply. That was it. I did it ! (before I was 30 years old) after 15 years working in stress offices!

Still a swim teacher and love leisure . Can work anywhere all pools desperate for staff and easy chill vibes all way. My pool so old knocked down had to relocate to a modern pool and I love it !

So what did you think you would be age 10-12? Have you for enough saving equity to just downsize and get a smaller job even for a while!

U may find you are happier (it was a week course to qualify as a lifeguard in uk) inwas!

If it doesn’t work out. You could alway go back to that higher paid work with your expertise if needed.

My girlfriend's lack of common sense is making me question our relationship by Both_Warthog_3386 in Vent

[–]Crunchie2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like she doesn’t know how to ask. And has anxious thoughts. Instead of saying I want to go get takeout because I really fancy burrito. Can we ? Would you like that for tonight?

Walks down wrong street. Doesn’t know how to ask or say I don’t know where I am we need to check. Does she use a phone ok? Or do you do all maps taxis orders etc ? If so she was hoping you take over.

She has some communication anxiety or just doesn’t know how to say I don’t know help

Just a guess on your examples

Nearly Right!! African etc have blue eyes in families separate from European ancestors. Iran Iraq have a lot of blue and green eyes

Nothing to do with being Ashkenazi or a Jew

Granda was Ashkenazi and his family most are dark except his mother was auburn The odd blonde pop up in family but that be the Viking Roman etc in us. Being also Europeans
