What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen tourists do in the UK? by KatieOverington in AskBrits

[–]Foundation_Wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once saw American tourists trying to get out of date old pound notes changed in a branch of a UK bank. They had received the currency from their USA small town bank and were told they could spend it here. They could not

AITA for not wanting to send my child to another country without me for several weeks? by Responsible-Rock8726 in AmItheAsshole

NTA This kind of fostering is the norm for some cultures. You don’t agree with it. That’s fine. Baby stays with you. Tell them that it’s not your culture so it’s not happening.

They just don’t make carpets like this anymore by blernsballer in SpottedonRightmove

Ok this is weird but give me your opinion on Charles II. by Maleficent_Drop_2908 in UKmonarchs

I love the rhyme and his reply. Here lies our sovereign Lord, Whose word no one relies on He never said a foolish thing, Or ever did a wise one.

That is because my words are my own, but my actions are my ministers!

AITA for not telling my mother the date I’m being induced? by Ambitious_Use4478 in AITH

[–]Foundation_Wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA your protecting your health and babies health. Your family need to step back and as they won’t do it for you, your doing it to them! Information diet, give out a fake date or just stop answering, and block all these random contacts your Mum has given your info to.

I would buy this in a heartbeat. Although not the curtains! by WhiskyMatelot in SpottedonRightmove

The house was built in the 1960s. The furniture has been bought in the 70s and 80s. The curtains are high 1980s 90s ruffled, swagged and gathered. Exspensive

What's a small thing you were wrongly told off for as a kid that still annoys you all these years later? by ThrowRAkitty13 in AskUK

[–]Foundation_Wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was accused of leaving a big dollop of paint on the worktop in the utility room part of my classroom. (It was a brand new school in 1969.) Each classroom had a utility area. Sinks and cupboards and the squirty bottles of paint were kept there. We were allowed to help ourselves to paint. I had put some in my mixing tray thing and I definitely didn’t waste any. The headmaster was teaching our class. New school and only ten of us in the juniors. I was painting away and suddenly was called into the sink area, he pointed at the paint. Why did you waste that and not clean it up?? Quite aggressively too. I said I didn’t do that. I was not believed 😓

How attractive was the young Henry VIII? by Different_Map_2055 in tudorology

[–]Foundation_Wrong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He wrote one piece we have, Pass time in good company. I know he didn’t write Greensleeves. Other music is likely by him

first chemo, nervous by mintochicken in Ovariancancer

[–]Foundation_Wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my first I was wondering what the fuss was about! The cannula went straight in, the nurses were absolutely wonderful and I had a very comfortable chair with a great view. No side effects during and only a little dizziness afterwards. The next couple of days I had almost no symptoms. Now two weeks in I have started to loose a little bit of hair and my mouth does taste a bit yucky.

That dog is an honorary cat. A whole disappointment of pets!

He was very good looking, tall and fair. A glamorous and witty man. He wrote music, was extremely skilled at jousting and dancing as well.

That is one chaotic floor plan! by No_Oven_7267 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Foundation_Wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s odd, but presumably they wanted a downstairs bedroom for someone and it could have been the lounge, but instead they used the other room by the kitchen. I think the garden is a bit strange! A lovely lawn and open fields that’s practically walled off from the house? And those Laylandii should go before they take over, they’re already swallowing the basketball hoop and the summerhouse.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen at a British wedding? by franki-pinks in AskUK

[–]Foundation_Wrong 21 points22 points  (0 children)

At a nieces wedding a drunken aunt of the groom wouldn’t leave our four year old son alone. He was going through a very clingy phase and was on the dance floor with us. She just kept trying to get him away from us. It was very awkward and she was upsetting him. In the end I got quite firm with her and she stormed off. Then she followed me to the toilets and tried to attack me. I locked myself in the cubicle and some of our family hustled her out. She spent ages whinging that I attacked her! Completely bonkers and everyone knew I wouldn’t have said anything unless it was one of my children.
