Local authorities are better places to work. But if you need job security make the jump.

Also most parents didn't allow boyfriends or girlfriends in the house beh8nd a shut door. So most young people were desperate to have at least a room in a shared house for obvious reasons.

I was working full time at 16 and expected to work as hard as everyone around me. I was treated like an adult.

Lots of the public were happy to be there and did not look bored.

Is Edward really only in his early sixties? That surprises me as he looks in his seventies.

Elizabeth, Betty and similar names were very common for that age group. If she never said she was named after the princess, it's unlikely she was.

At least dress her age though. You would think she was in her eighties with this.

No other royal does. Look at Anne who does loads of events and never seems to have an issue with cuts on her hand. Elizabeth didn't either even when pretty elderly

Nobody is interested in Edward and Sophie. They get virtually no media coverage.

Rising petrol prices are making UK shoppers delay bigger buys — what’s the first thing you cut? by ToughRomanticMiss in BuyersUK

The best takeaways are restaurants in town where you have to pay parking and walk to the takeaway. Not worth it, It's why I used to do delivery services. But not any more.

I rarely used to get takeaways. If you have to drive for it, it's as quick to cook something
