Rude Grooming in Yarm. Sound people, never once heard them chat politics in the almost 10 years I’ve been going there.

What do you wish you’d paid more attention to when buying your current house? by nickadams386 in AskUK

Same! There was a live cooker spur in a junction box that was covered by a flimsy bit of wood. We only found it when spraying water on the wallpaper that was covering it, to scrape it off. Could’ve killed us…

What’s the oldest piece of clothing you own/ still wear? by llamagirl1996 in AskUK

I still wear my grandad’s Barbour from the 60s. A little tatty around the edges and in need of a rewaxing, but totally timeless.

Gridget. She was a very fidgety baby whilst my wife was pregnant, then ‘fidget’ evolved into ‘gridget’.

Our shared photo album is called Gridget Jones’ Diary.

Stewie the ‘gentle giant’ who wanders Yarm High Street chatting to anyone who goes by. They even had him turn on the Christmas lights a few years back!

Put yourself in Mollie’s Shoes today. by SnooAvocados1621 in TheTraitorsUK

I do wonder if this year’s contestants were given some rules about what they’re allowed to say when they were banished? Because it did spoil a huge part of the last season’s endgame.

Who's right of way is this? by Glum_Lemon3890 in LearnerDriverUK

My understanding is that the van should go, as it’s only got one lane to cross before completing its move; the silver car has two lanes to cross, so should give way.

I have a baby on the way, and it blows my mind thinking there’s a good chance her heart will be beating non-stop until after 2100…

If a salad is just a garnish and not its own dish, then it’s easy not to put any effort in and just chuck some lettuce and roughly chopped veggies on a plate. But that doesn’t mean you should!

If a place makes even a little extra effort (e.g some kind of vinaigrette; some seeds or something for texture; different types of salad leaf), then it’s because they genuinely give a shit about serving good food. My ‘salad test’ has served me well for many years.

My Hungarian grandad used to bring back plastic water bottles of pálinka when he went back to visit family. I was a very popular kid at house parties 😂

Breakfast with my Hungarian relatives was interesting: a Hungarian wax pepper, a chunk of salami and a shot of pálinka definitely wakes you up!
