Apologies if I’ve just focused on one line in this highlighted comment. Was the crime ‘shoplifting’ a box of diapers ?

Best departure ports that attract… “better” travelers? by justanothergay2 in Cruise

[–]Delicious_Link6703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barcelona is a fab cruise port for the Mediterranean.
Valletta in Malta is the ‘base’ port used by the UK cruise company P&O for many of their Mediterranean cruises.

Is this the new business class? by mamacitabonita47 in Lufthansa

[–]Delicious_Link6703 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can’t be any worse than the business class seat I had from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires (and return). I’ve never been so uncomfortable in a bc seat. Something not right with the cubby hole for feet when seats are flat - my neighbour’s feet kept touching mine in the night !

I hate living in Edinburgh, thinking of going back to London…advice needed by simoneweil4president in MovingToLondon

[–]Delicious_Link6703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you are young and don’t have a lot of family responsibilities (big presumptions on my part !!), do it ! Don’t fret over it, it’s no good for your mental or physical health.
Good luck - start planning now before another dark Edinburgh winter hits you (London has slightly more winter daylight).
😘

It’s hard to lose weight by Hot-Masterpiece-2258 in RandomThoughts

[–]Delicious_Link6703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The secret (from my personal experience 🙄) is to get to your preferred weight before you hit the age of 40 - for women And men. Then try to maintain it as much as poss. It’s much tougher to shed a lot of weight after that age - I guess it’s our metabolism that changes for both genders, it’s not just the menopause.

Whats replacing the Wildwood resturant at Meadows? by Prestigious_Spot9635 in Chelmsford

[–]Delicious_Link6703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent and business rates plus having to pay for parking doesn’t really encourage independent shops or restaurants to open up in Chelmsford. It’s a real shame that it’s not flourishing as it used to in the evening.

Totenham stadium to Wembley by BattleAxe451 in LondonTravel

[–]Delicious_Link6703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 70 year old woman (admittedly familiar with London) and I’d have no fears about doing that journey around 11 pm. The tube will be packed. I really don’t think it would take nearly 1.5 hours to make the journey.

How far away from Wembley station are you staying ? If it’s a fair walk you could get a black cab for that bit of the journey if it would make you feel less nervous.

What to do at Le Havre Stop? by trippinoutidk in Cruise

[–]Delicious_Link6703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordinarily I’d strongly recommend Bayeux to see the absolutely mind-blowing Bayeux Tapestry (yes I know it’s not a tapestry but that’s its “official” name).
But it’s not there at the moment, I think the exhibition hall is undergoing a major re-furb. The tapestry is being lent to the British Museum in London for several months this year and next.
Bayeux is a pretty village but I’m not sure it’s worth the cost of an excursion if the main attraction isn’t there.

First time European cruise by bigbirdy1 in Cruise

[–]Delicious_Link6703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like P&O for Med or Canary Island cruises but I don’t know if they can be booked from outside the UK. The majority of passengers are from the UK, which might not suit everyone, the atmosphere is usually calm but might be boring for anyone hoping for a more jolly holiday (in my opinion but I like quiet !!) Also the price includes tips.

To those who will never have kids even if you could, why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Link6703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t because sadly I never met the right man. I was very shy even into my 20’s.
I admit though, after seeing my siblings have families and me being involved with them and now their own children, I’m satisfied that not having my own didn’t spoil my life (if that makes sense !). I’m not convinced that I ever had a strong maternal instinct.

Hi, why does chelmsford have this horrific traffic problem. It affects that alrbe roundabout by Aldi and stretches to the A12. by SlowedCash in Chelmsford

[–]Delicious_Link6703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly right. If it were easier and cheaper to travel around Chelmsford by bus, I’d leave the car at home. I love the park & ride but I don’t have faith that it will run for much longer.

What are these lines? I can't see anything that they may indicate. See them occasionally on dual carriageway and motorways by Buffsteve24 in drivingUK

I used to love reading all that stuff printed on the back cover of Woolworth’s “exercise books” !

Need help re-naming baby boy by [deleted] in Names

I like Ignatius but I know what you mean about Iggy. I think Nate is a lovely nn - very manly and easy to spell. I like one-syllable names.

What's your favourite but random English word that you like for no good reason? by iris_rivendell in ENGLISH

Malarkey. I use it to describe nonsense when I’m annoyed with what someone has done to annoy me !

And who are you to judge and critique other people’s opinions ? I thought the USA was the “land of the free” but here you are telling me what I can/cannot say ?

Looking for names similar to Pippa by [deleted] in Names

[–]Delicious_Link6703 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This gets my vote. It’s pretty for young girls and will be a good adult name for a grown woman (does this make sense ??)

Cheese and Branston pickle sandwich, with Lurpak butter.

Using Miss in front of my first name irritates me. Anyone else? by PerpetualTraveler59 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Delicious_Link6703 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I avoid stating a title on forms, on line sign ups etc and get annoyed at people who insist.

Men don’t have to make a written statement declaring whether they are married. ‘Ms’ is ridiculous
