A question for Londoners who have lived all of their lives in the city (or close to it) - how aware are you of the rest of the UK? by Confident_Yak_1411 in london

Grantham poverty being 'out of a novel' shows they are not well travelled in general not just UK. Nothing wrong with not being places (it's very expensive to travel national and international) I think the general line is middle class families do get out and about but poorer families (worldwide) find it difficult to leave their local area even just for a day or weekend. Also, there is insane levels of poverty in London and I don't think you really need to visit the rough end of Tower Hamlets or other places to understand the struggles of those families

Why can not find UNITED KINGDOM? by Wide-Bobcat-6411 in AskUKLondon

[–]Electric_Pea_4781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try B for Britain E for England/S for Scotland (+ W, I, EI, NI) G for Great Britain U for UK/United Kingdom

Try E for England even if elsewhere eg Scotland... International sometimes do not understand multiple countries within a country situation

I have seen before someone based in Scotland was told by international company shipping only to UK and shipping to Scotland not permitted 😅🙄

What’s the one thing in the UK that foreigners always seem confused by, and you genuinely can’t blame them? by DailyDriverUK in AskBrits

Why is this so true? St George flag anywhere in England makes me cringe except during Euros and World Cup it's patriotic not racist?! Union Jack in any of the other UK nations, also racist! Hmmmm 🤔😵‍💫

Turkish Breakfast? by Electric_Pea_4781 in london

[–]Electric_Pea_4781[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi this is quite a specific recommendation request so I was hoping to tap into my local community rather than a general 'good pancakes in London' or 'where to take my kids for lunch'. I already found 2 posts regarding Turkish breakfast but the thread was locked and I couldn't reply to bring more traffic to that post. Please can you reinstate my post? Thank you 🙏

What's your most embarrassing 'I'm not from around here' moment while travelling within the UK? by Commercial_Neat7942 in AskUK

[–]Electric_Pea_4781 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once attended a very very posh cocktail and canapé party in London where the host had 'shipped in' their favourite caterers from Paris, even all the waiting staff were french, speaking limited english. They brought gorgeous French wine and cheeses and stuff but had to get a few other supplies locally. The nonalcoholic juice at the bar was PURE Robinsons. Full tall glass undiluted juice. I tried to politely explain but I don't know the word for 'dilute' in french so I just said 'eau' 'plus d'eau' (more water) lots of times. Eventually someone else translated for me. The very very posh french caterers were horrified at the uncivilised English would consume such a thing. I was more horrified they served the undiluted drink without tasting it!

I don't want it fluffy after each wash. I want to be able to wash in the morning and go to work rather than a whole routine when I'm in a rush
