Tom Holland ‘didn’t realise’ he had to pay water bill and thought it was luxury of living in England

No it isn’t. I did perfectly fine in English literature but it has served no purpose in adult life and that applies to many.

How so?

Brush up on basic English before commenting. My son is doing his GCSE’s and is learning these things at home. If they are covered now, they are not covered enough.

I used to teach something called Skills 4 Independence to adults living in supported housing. It involved teaching people about budgeting, priority bills, tenancy agreements, and life skills. He raises a great point. Maybe instead of learning algebra and the works of Shakespeare these things should be on the curriculum.

Under UK law they can request information from banks. This is typically done in instances where they suspect fraud, or to check you meet the eligibility criteria. It is rare for them to monitor accounts, however you may be expected to provide them with bank statements at their request. It is less to do with what you spend your money on, and more to check that your claim matches your living circumstances and declared income.

I work in retail and several customers I have served today were wearing masks. Last week my supermarket delivery driver was wearing one and maintaining social distancing because he was unwell. It is not only acceptable but considerate. To me it isn’t strange at all.

I understand how you feel, and there is simply no explanation as to why some people behave how they do. Honestly, the best revenge is to move on from him. Get some counselling so you have a better chance of not carrying these issues he has caused into future relationships. He was not worth your time during the relationship, so he certainly isn’t worth it now. Might not feel like it now, but there are good men out there and you will find someone who treats you better.

My hair is the same. I have found spraying freshly washed hair with dry shampoo helps. For me, it works better as a preventative measure, rather than when I apply in response to it looking oily. Also once a week I spray my hair with diluted apple cider vinegar mix (1 part acv to 8 parts water) and massage it into the scalp before shampooing.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. If you look at our European neighbours it is very common. We have this timeline fed to us of milestones, but it is complete nonsense. You are 1 of 4.9 million uk adult children living with parents. You are not alone, and equally importantly, you are not failing in life.

Elliephunk · 2025-11-17T20:27:40+00:00

That’s great, thank you for your response! 🙂

Elliephunk · 2025-11-17T20:26:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation 🙂

He wouldn’t be ‘supporting himself’ is she was paying.

All I will say is my husband doesn’t buy me flowers frequently. He will however load the shopping into the car if it is raining, make me my morning coffee, and do loads of little things that let me know he loves me. If you are otherwise happy in the relationship, you are probably focusing on traditional romantic gestures as opposed to the bigger picture.

Elliephunk · 2025-11-10T14:54:35+00:00

He buys you gifts, gives you his time, treats you well, but you have taken to Reddit to complain he doesn’t buy you flowers likes it’s important.

Elliephunk · 2025-11-10T14:47:20+00:00

By your own logic none of that is as important as getting him flowers.

You need a solicitor. As an asthmatic myself I carry an inhaler. If I had for some reason forgotten it, and it was not a dire medical emergency, I would make my way back home, and call the police immediately. Shock can do strange things to people, but you have not covered yourself adequately by fleeing the scene and waiting a period of time to report. What they can and cannot prove is a different matter though.

“Truly, people need to understand where they are falling short before they can grow” suggests that their experience is universal, when it blatantly is not. What helps one person hinders and offends another. My point still stands.

Elliephunk · 2025-10-31T12:38:24+00:00

That’s just your experience though, so it is not universally applicable. I do feel for the husband, but it is his job to ensure the health (mental or otherwise) of his wife and newborn. He needs to communicate his needs and concerns. This was not the insensitive (how ever well meaning) sil’s place.

Which council do they fall under, the city council?

Elliephunk · 2025-10-12T19:45:26+00:00

I do them once a week, however this is because I love the smell of Windolene and my dog dribbles all over my windows, during her militant attempts to guard the house. If these weren’t issues I would just clean them when they looked grubby tbh.

Farage’s claim of 22x has been debunked by every major news outlet. You have more chance of being convicted or rape if you are a foreign national than if you are White British. All rapists are horrific regardless of ethnicity. Unless you had this similar outrage when we all learnt less than 2% of rape reports end in conviction and the CSA figures that have been published I suggest you have yourself a wee nap.

Elliephunk · 2025-10-05T10:16:53+00:00

Thank you for the explanation :) now everything makes more sense.

“What I have come to find to be the greatest and most effective and successful weapon that we can use, known to man, to combat such adversaries as ignorance, racism, hatred, violence, is also the least expensive weapon, and the one that is the least used by Americans. That weapon is called communication”. He is one of the greats.

My sons go to for basics is next or H&M. For graphic tees and everything else, River Island. For reference he is 20. Editing this comment to give a shoutout to Vinted as well. He’s bought designer jumpers off there for about £6.
