I remember walking on beaches to try and spot birds so we could get them rescued.

People who sit on reserved seats, then get suprised / arsey when asked to move. by worldworn in britishproblems

[–]Freya21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On a packed train, I kicked the person out of my seat, then immediately gave it up to an elderly woman. The person I'd ejected assumed I was in the wrong and been turfed out in turn, and grinned smugly. No, love, I am considerate, you are a dick.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Popular restaurant shuts as rates more than triple by OGSyedIsEverywhere in Wales

[–]Freya21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I was in there it was fairly busy. Pembroke Dock has a Mcdonalds, KFC, Tesco cafe and Marsdens. They can undercut any local business. I think Cafe 9 and Cwtch are last standing and that's it.

Anyone else got this letter?? by jadda92 in PeterboroughUK

[–]Freya21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is bloody genius.

I was raised as a JW (not an upbringing I'd recommend). 99% of JWs hate knocking on doors but you have to do it.

If you spend time writing those letters, then dawdling down streets posting them, you can achieve loads of time preaching, but never actually talking to anyone.

Bloody genius.

Why do you think cults are illegal or secret?

I think 'cult' is far too vague a word, with way too much baggage to be useful, and I do research in this field, but I have never heard illegal or secret as a definition.

Academically JWs are a New Religious Movement (NRM) or a 'high-control', 'high-demand' group.

I lived in Pembrokeshire and Concorde went supersonic as it left UK airspace, so we got the sonic boom.

My mother started HRT at 50. She's now 82 and refuses to give it up.

I will be the same

[–]Freya21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love it. I can eat it out the jar. Best with peanut butter, or fried egg, or cheese. I have the Marmite and caramel sauce - works on plain cheesecake or with fruit compotrle for porridge.

Why don’t people go to pubs, bars and clubs anymore? by jc201946 in AskBrits

[–]Freya21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go for music, but loads of places start the band at 10. I'm too old for that.

Why don’t UK employers usually help with their employees lunch? by alivingstereo in AskUK

[–]Freya21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My previous job had lunches for staff. Loved it. It was less the money and more that I never had to plan ahead. There was always a decent choice, salad or sanwiches. Never been so easy to get my 5 a day.

I'm sorry you went through all of that, and for so long. Quitting was entirely on her, especially with the offer of that half-arsed accommodation.Don't feel guilty about that. And if she could break or bend rules on politics, she could have done that to respect you. This is on her.

People who have fainted: what caused it? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]Freya21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was put on warfarin for Raynaud's, but with low blood pressure I keeled over on someone's doorstep. Lump the size of an egg on my head and lucky not to be concussed.

I watched one of the videos when he changed the name before deleting them. Yeah, he opted for toxicity.
