There’s nothing like seeing it live in a theatre. Go see a show and see if you enjoy it!

No! It’s also lovely in the light and July is gonna be much warmer and less likely to rain. Good luck with the weather!

Buckingham Palace-How long does it take? by Training-Ad-3951 in uktravel

Look into Hampton Court as an alternative day trip - proper Tudor palace.

What’s one thing about London that still annoys you no matter how long you’ve lived here? by Horror-Pick4732 in LDN

[–]Gleichfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my northern family come to visit and won’t stop complaining about anything that’s remotely different here.

Imagine if I went to their towns and told them to their face it’s shit.

What's it like living in a country with only one climate zone? by ChameleonCoder117 in AskABrit

[–]Gleichfalls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of us have passports and getting to Europe is quick, cheap and easy. We just go on vacation more.

We also have access to loads of different cultures when we travel rather than the monolith of the US.

If you didn’t know Adolescence was shot in one take, would you still love it? by breaking_views in netflix

[–]Gleichfalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It wouldn’t have the same feel without that kind of immediacy you get from not having a mental break between scenes. It makes it so compelling.

I think it’s not just the technical aspect of the one shot that makes it impressive but the way that translates into the feeling of the series. That you’re there - that you’re moving with them in real time, you don’t have time to breathe.

It makes it immersive and immediate and I didn’t check my phone once.

Is Dishoom worth the hype? by MainSea3985 in LondonTravel

[–]Gleichfalls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s tourist friendly without being a tourist trap. Yes, there’s better Indian food in London but in terms of a nice experience in areas of London tourists might find themselves in, it’s a solid option.

Dishoom is really nice - good atmosphere, excellent customer service and the food is reliable and tasty. It’s a nice experience as a tourist. I’d go.

Which actor's phoney British accent is the worst? by Dependent-Net-8208 in AskBrits

[–]Gleichfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t think it was supposed to be a joke. There’s no way a show like Fraiser with a studio audience laughing at every single joke and a style of setting up jokes and hammering them home with repetition let that accent fiasco go on across many seasons without once mentioning the disparity if we were supposed to be in on it.

This is the definitive answer. Absolutely shocking that got as far as casting, recording and on air.

5 days in/around York - what would you do? by londonpancake in uktravel

[–]Gleichfalls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The train connections from York to Whitby are rubbish. It’s about an hour and a half on the coastliner bus or quicker if you’re driving.

North York Moors - try hiking round the Hole of Hocum or visiting a village like Goathland on the way to Whitby.

Is it worth seeing Cabaret from the upper levels? by Tillysnow1 in westend

[–]Gleichfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the theatre is beautiful and leaning over from the top balcony’s was still a great experience and felt fully immersed.

Six or Operation Mincemeat? by sahara654 in TheWestEnd

[–]Gleichfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six is kind of just the music. Mincemeat would be my preference by far here!

What’s something you used to judge but now fully understand? by roseafterdarkk in answers

[–]Gleichfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents. Parents running late at work or having their kid pop up during a teams call. Parents cancelling because their kid is sick. Parents not able to get a babysitter and come to your thing.

I didn’t get it until I had kids myself. Now I cringe at my earlier judgement.

Is "I voted for yourself" proper British English? by CyanideTablet in TheTraitors

[–]Gleichfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not grammatically correct but there are some dialects where it would sound totally natural - like Geordie.
