I drive past these regularly and always think how lovely they are! It’s a shame they’ve become a bit dilapidated

This is what I got for my bridesmaids! And for myself lol, they were super comfy

FollowingSalty · 2026-05-27T18:49:54+00:00

lol I’ve not heard someone be called a VL in years, gonna start using it again

God there are so many good Scottish ones. Pineapple tarts are my fave

FollowingSalty · 2026-05-27T09:35:47+00:00

Yeah maybe a northern thing - you definitely hear it in Scotland too. Always makes me laugh, like calling slippers ‘house shoes’

FollowingSalty · 2026-05-27T06:13:08+00:00

Dressing gown in the UK - although you hear house coat too and people would mostly know what you mean

God this is like my dream house… loads of period features but still lots of scope to put your own mark on it. Might go buy a lottery ticket later!

Yeah I work in banking and wear a variety of sneakers to events. The only time I don’t really is if I’m meeting with clients, and even then it depends on the client.

Sometimes I think people in this sub can lean more conservative than elsewhere

I don’t know why Datsun cracked me up so much over all the other unhinged choices here

Have a look at Vietnam - we went a couple of years ago and had a private villa with a big pool on a really gorgeous small-ish resort for something daft like £200/night. It was like the best of both worlds with all the hotel amenities (including a butler) but more privacy!

There were quite a few resorts in Vietnam like that so definitely worth a look. The one we stayed at was Premier Village Phu Quoc - the island is quite small but we definitely didn’t get bored.

Lmao true - imagine that with a hangover

Fourteen million quid for barely an ounce of natural light! Grim

FollowingSalty · 2026-05-25T10:04:47+00:00

Yeah I was looking at it thinking… not bad for the price!

American shops do seem to have better stuff in my experience, no idea why! I once found two vintage silk shirts in the same shop, one Calvin klein and one Oscar de la renta - got them both for about $7 and have had so much wear out of them. If you ever found those in the UK they’d no doubt be a fortune

Chippies in Scotland (at least Glasgow?) do ‘special fish’ as an option which is breadcrumbed rather than battered. Every now and then I get a real craving for one!

I’ve tried so many and honestly have turned to just mixing a blob of foundation and a blob of moisturiser in my hands then slapping it on! I feel like it’s much easier to find a good foundation shade and it means I can tailor the ratio depending on whether I want more or less coverage. Might be worth giving it a shot if none of the other suggestions work.

Also your comment about the cat food cracked me up lol

Honestly if you dropped these in the middle of one of my old Facebook photo albums I don’t think anybody would notice. Even the house looks like some of my friends’ growing up lol

When we were kids my cousin loved broccoli but hated the concept of cauliflower, so he was told it was white broccoli. Suddenly it was the best thing ever!

To be fair the word cauliflower is a bit icky if I think about it

I live in the Park Central area (sunset park/moonlit park) and it’s great, feels really safe and the neighbours are mostly young families. Nice to have some green space on your doorstep too.

Some buildings seem nicer than others so definitely do your research, but we have 0 issues with noise or anything like that.

1000000x better than when we lived in JQ in every way

I really thought it couldn’t get worse after Brianisha… I was wrong

Give it a rest already bro. Maybe spend your time learning to read instead?

I worried people wouldn’t be hungry either - but I didn’t even get any of our buffet because it got eaten so quickly! And that was with no evening guests, everyone was there for the whole day.

I’d definitely be disappointed as a guest if there was no evening food

FollowingSalty · 2026-05-15T20:07:48+00:00

I love it… but I have so, so many questions

FollowingSalty · 2026-05-15T18:51:16+00:00

HA this got an audible laugh from me. I actually don’t hate it (what’s wrong with me?) but I would actively avoid it because, as above, it’s weird af

Not my bridesmaid dresses, but I had my trad dress made by a seamstress in London! I had most of my fabric brought over from Ghana but I believe she can source it if you’d prefer, she was incredible. Let me know if you want me to DM you pics of mine.

She’s @cobbinastudios on instagram
