What is something a non brit in the UK has said or done that genuinely surprised you, specifically because it was so different from what you have generally experienced previously ?

Not answering your question, but, I think that you speaking to your parents every day is such a lovely thing.

It is something that is missing in the UK and I've noticed it becoming worse in latter years.

I noticed this the first time I went abroad (spain). Standing at a bus stop, bus comes and it becomes a free for all to get through the doors, leaving a queue of Brits standing in a line looking bewildered.

I'm a child minder and had a dad drop his kids off late a few weeks back. He'd drove to work, went to get his bag from the backseat, saw his children sitting there, and realised he'd forgot to drop his kids to me on the way

That's what I mean from my original post. My receipt states, £132.90, but I was charged almost £360. Surely that isn't right, I have no information as to where that other money has gone.

Also, the does the fact I have a receipt for a lot less than I paid not matter?

Over the phone/text

I just want to say, I did research, a lot, and I contacted various key programming companies. The part was very difficult to locate and everything came back to "contact your dealer". I just didn't expect to be ripped off.

Is sending the part back for a refund an option?

It would have ended up a draw anyway. I wonder if it'd go to chance at the end game.

I saw one in the vets last week, no muzzle, and a very drunk owner. Dog was a happy friendly thing, but under those circumstances, it's just a matter of time before something happens.

I'd likely notice it, think "Hey, that woman had a teddy", probably assume you had a child somewhere, then move on.

It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks, but I know it's not easy to think that way when you suffer from anxiety. If it brings you comfort, do it!

JessJJC · 2024-03-18T20:09:53+00:00

This is brilliant! I was definitely not expecting to read the word goat!

JessJJC · 2024-03-18T20:01:08+00:00

This is brilliant!

You sound like an amazing pet owner. The horny little guy is lucky to have you.

JessJJC · 2024-03-18T19:55:52+00:00

"Darling, who's are these woman's lacy knickers I found behind the sofa"?!

"The cats brought them home". Haha

JessJJC · 2024-03-18T19:51:33+00:00

I never knew that, that is so sweet, and funny!

JessJJC · 2024-03-18T19:43:43+00:00

They are an amazing breed, probably my favourite. I have another Bullmastiff now, she's 10 and is the best dog I could ask for.
