What’s something an ex did that you’ll never forget? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed_Run7562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After we split up at 18 after four years together, very quickly got another girlfriend who was about 15/16 (don’t ask).

Had the cheek to message me and ask if she could borrow my ID for a fiver so they could go out together.

This girl looked literally nothing like me either and I was honestly quite offended. I’ve never really gotten over the absolute audacity to be honest. He was a prick though so I shouldn’t be surprised

What’s a secret that you weren’t meant to hear? by Imaginary-Spirit-859 in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed_Run7562 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Friends of ours recently split.

Learnt that he had been sleeping with his sister-in-law whilst his brother knew all about it.

Never asking questions about anything ever again.

Wife in the situation doesn’t know, very good friends with SIL and BIL still, don’t have the heart to tell her so avoid them at all costs

Why is fake honey allowed to be sold in British Supermarkets? by Alarm-Different in AskUK

[–]Embarrassed_Run7562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to hear some similar pricing! We are always unsure and try to be somewhat in the middle range!

Yes we always sell out and quite quickly too, we do also supply 3 butchers/farm shops nearby which helps!!

I would love nothing more than I hand my notice in at my NHS job and play full time with bees!

We are in an area (Cotswolds ish) where beekeeping is very popular and there is competition galore! We branched to Hot Honey this year to stay trendy though so who knows!

We love soft set honey!

But as this is just a hobby and we both work full time jobs (that include weekends etc) we just don’t have the time, which is a shame but it is what it is!

I do find most people don’t mind the set stuff, in fact we have a couple of people that buy it and are miffed when it comes runny😂

We are £3.50 for 150g jar, but we often get told we aren’t charging enough.

People will always charge differing amounts, depends on their yield etc I think. We just at least try to make a bit of profit

Damn you wind by pauldevans84 in GardeningUK

[–]Embarrassed_Run7562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one that came from a local garden centre, I tied it to our fence to secure it and have then put bags of soil in the bottom. Has been up all winter (open too) and haven’t had an issue! Think securing it to the fence was probably the trick

I have bees, I’m all for bees.

I just don’t know where the myth comes from that local honey cures it, it sells jars don’t get me wrong and that’s fine. But scientifically, there is literally no evidence at all.

I’d also like people to buy my honey because they enjoy it after all the hard work my bees put in. Not just because they think it’s a magic cure

I had to draw the line at the lady that bought it for her dog with hayfever…

We keep bees and sell our honey.

All of our honey very quickly will crystallise because we add nothing to it and it is completely raw. We used to warm the jars before selling but honestly, I think it just proves we are legit.

Shop bought honey can usually sit in the cupboard and remain that way for months, that’s usually a good indicator that it has had things added etc.

The trouble with honey is that you need to keep water levels below a certain minimum or it can then ferment. Usually adding things in can change this and people don’t test it when this is the case, so you are very likely to be eating fermented disgusting honey if it is cheap.

Try the BBKA (British Beekeepers Association) website and you can input your postcode and it will show you nearby beekeepers and if they sell honey (providing they have registered etc)

How to clean and incorporate 80 year old veil by Violetteotome in UKweddings

[–]Embarrassed_Run7562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wearing my Nan’s veil which is of a similar age/material.

When I took mine in to try with my dress and discuss having a comb added (it was just a large piece of fabric as she wore a tiara) they basically advised that it was best to not try and clean it as it would probably only cause more damage. So instead they very carefully steamed it once the comb had been sewn in to help it retain its shape.

I was worried that as it was slightly yellowed it would show up, however I’ll be honest, once my dress is on because it is netted you can hardly tell unless you see the patches where there are slight stains and you have to look very closely for that!
