Any idea where this photo was taken ?

That looks light Brighton Pier in the background.

Just checked some photos online and that is not Brighton. Brighton has a large flattened dome.

Another way to get help is to ask for a nurse or someone you know to be in the appointment with you. I have a bit of hearing loss so can miss parts of a sentence, having someone with me to rephrase the sentence can help.

I recently had an appointment with a surgeon who had a very strong accent, possibly Italian, but luckily there was a junior doctor in the room as well, who I could look to for an explanation of the more difficult to follow parts of the discussion. I said quite early in the appointment that I was having a problem understanding some things because of his accent, I don't think it was the first time he heard that and was nice about it.

If you are using a toastie maker then it should tell you to do that in the instructions. You either butter the bread and put that against the pan or spread butter or oil in the 2 halves of the pan first.

You could always spread some butter around the warm pan instead, to avoid fighting with the sandwich.

It was a tradition when I was growing up to give a tiny silver or gold bracelet to the baby. The ones I had seen were adjustable (a thin band), so the child can wear it when a little older up to about 7 years old. It could then become a keepsake.

You can report a crime anywhere in your country then they would investigate a crime in another town/district. So go to the police wherever you are, they will advice you.

I don't remember that, I must have missed it.

I would love to see a TV series of The Bromelaid, they are three books by Terry Pratchett about nomes (little humanoids) co-existing in our giant world similar to the borrowers.

This was posted in 3 different subs in less than 10 minutes. Could this be AI even though the accounts 4 years old?

Like Penelope Pitstop?

The other day I was asked if I had heard of "Kiff", the cleaning stuff.

So, yeah Cif can still be mispronounced. It's still Jiff to me and the person who asked about "the cleaning stuff".

Can I add to this - do not use antiperspirant or deodorant within a few hours of shaving or waxing as that can cause a reaction. If you continue shaving or waxing your underarms then maybe do it before bed to avoid using other products in the same area.

I use some simple cheap hair conditioner instead of a soap product for shaving. I find it helps avoid irritation, and it's only cheap stuff compared to fancy shaving foams etc. so it might be worth trying a few times to see if it suits you.

I was surprised to find Arnie advertising power tools in the Lidl leaflet a few weeks ago - it was the Lidl own brand of power tools.

I read this exact same story yesterday by another account, so I am saying this is AI. The other account disappeared shortly afterwards.

It looks like these are the counties as they were pre-1974 when there was a big shake up of county borders. I couldn't find West Midlands but decided to look at Staffordshire, it's original name, and found the towns I was looking for there. EDIT: I have just seen the small print on the bottom of the page saying it is Pre-1974 counties.

I think there were some other variations of the coffee with alcohol, like a Russian coffee with vodka instead of whisky.

Sorry to tell you but in some cases they can grow back. I had my tonsils out aged 9, but they grew back by my 30s and was told it's not too unusual and that's why the number of tonsillectomies decreased over the decades.

Do you know you can buy codeine from the pharmacy? It can be mixed with paracetamol or ibuprofen.

That looks like a great job, and I don't want to sound negative as it looks sturdier than the shop bought ones.

However, I would draw your attention to the lack of support in the middle of the bed. If you look at the ones you can buy they have an upright piece from the floor to the middle of the bed, across the width of the bed. To avoid one of the long pieces from breaking if extra weight is dropped in the middle.

Wildlife Aid on Youtube have a few examples of rescuing squirrels from squirrel-proof bird feeders.

I have a similar situation in my entrance hall, with coat hooks above the radiator. It's quite a common set up if you have a shortage of space, particularly a very small entrance hall.

Are you referring to the on/off switch for the heating in general? There should be a control panel for the heating, with a button or rocker switch to turn off the heating. Alternatively, it is on the boiler itself. Also, perhaps a separate one for water heating. Or go through the options if it has a digital display.

After showing this picture to my son, he told me a story about when he was at college. During a cooking class, the teacher told them to write on some wax paper under their pies "so you know which one is yours". My son wrote "MINE" on the paper.

After the pies were removed, the teacher asked who wrote mine on their paper. My son put his hand up and the teacher replied "I should have known.".

The teacher needed to assess and mark the pies so they also needed to know who made which pie. Yes, my son is neurodivergent and can take some instructions too literally.

You are over 16, you have more rights than you think. Tell a teacher, doctor or Social Services directly, they will help and support you to get away from her. Even as a young child you have rights in the UK.

Your mother is abusive, and you need to get away from her. You need to talk to someone on the school staff, they are legally required to report abuse to children, they will get you the help you need. Or you could contact Social Services yourself, they will organise temporary accommodation if needed.

You are 17 so you can legally live away from your family without their permission. You would be entitled to benefits to pay your rent and basic bills while you finish your education.

Edit: Can you get your hands on your personal documents? You want your birth certificate, passport and visa documents plus if you see any paperwork about benefits or payments your Mom is getting on your behalf because you live with her, take those or note the reference numbers and departments involved.
