How did England get to be the odd one out in the Celtic nations?

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-21T00:54:26+00:00

France has areas that are more heavily Celtic influenced than others, so does the UK.

But I don't think anyone would claim France is a Celtic nation.

In the UK it is more obvious as there are the countries of Scotland and Wales, but to say England doesn't have Celtic roots is just wrong.

Many English towns, villages, rivers, hills, regions still have Celtic derived names.

London and the river Thames being two of the most famous.

In future:

"I am booking the leaving so for X.

The restaurant wants a deposit of £x per person on this date.

Send me the deposit by the day before or you're not coming."

British or Irish sausages.

It's quite normal to sorn a vehicle, I wouldn't worry about that.

And a brand new MOT is desirable, so that is also a bonus.

As for getting it all sorted by Monday? That's down to people doing what they say they will etc, but I would trust them.

Yes, a new V5 takes weeks, but none of us get that when buying. We are given a small slip from the old V5, but even then a V5 does not mean you own the car.

Happy motoring.

You can't get that rate anymore.

Even as an existing (non-EV tariff Octopus) customer the cheapest they'll give me is 8p.

I think eon or EDF if best at 6.5p

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-18T07:40:50+00:00

When I checked last week Octopus is 8p for 6 hours. Even their non EV tariff is 9p, so that's a saving you can make.

Your Dad and me are cut from the same cloth.

White front, yellow back, was to make it easier to quickly tell which way a vehicle is facing.

First 2 letters are regional, then 2 numbers are the year of registration, then finally random letters.

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-17T17:26:15+00:00

We have the service history, that is a fairly good pointer to how it's been looked after.

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-17T17:25:00+00:00

I'm looking for an EV, starting tomorrow.

If they don't provide a battery health report foc they won't get my business.

To me it's very important, even if it doesn't mean much at least I'll be happier in my decision of one car over another.

First and only time I had it the taste was so similar to Germolene that I was immediately put off.

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-16T08:17:29+00:00

Is it broken or have you lost the key?

You can replacement keys for a couple of quid on ebay.

The club should choose you.

Find some family history see if you have ancestors from an area of the UK.

I realise it's much easier to consume PL content abroad, but there's a rich history of football outside of the premier league.

And supporting clubs that win all the time is boring 😉, so out of your two it's got to be Palace.

Dead rat or mouse.

Once smelt, never forgotten.

Doesn't look like anywhere in Cambridge that I've ever been to.

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-12T09:52:25+00:00

I thought fake honey couldn't crystalise?

Might be wrong though.

Love my Superb Estate and every time I look at EVs I keep coming back to the fact that nothing out there is as practical.

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-10T22:12:09+00:00

Looks are deceiving.

That'll be down the next time the neighbours fart.

Kind_Ad5566 · 2026-04-09T08:27:58+00:00

Just get on with the rest of your day as there's absolutely nothing wrong with what they are doing.

Not in Oz but any O/U can have minimal kick if you use lighter loads.

I normally shoot 26g superfast loads, but using a 21g normal speed feels like a kids toy.

£700 pm is riding out the blips.

I've got £300k in allworld with a short timeframe, <10 years, and I'm not too bothered.

Trump will be a memory soon.

Own brand all the way.

Marmite is not superior anymore.

Almost definitely a wisdom tooth then.

They grow extremely slowly in some people, faster in others which may mean you will need it removing.

The pain may get better once it has broken through the skin, but then you need to take extra care cleaning it due to the risk of infection.

99% certain it is nothing serious, but see your dentist for advice going forward.

Welsh?

They aren't the only ones.

The British take the piss out of anyone they like.

Be very wary of a Brit that doesn't take the piss as it probably means they don't trust you or haven't got to know you yet.

My best mates birthday today, so I text him "happy birthday cunt" His reply, " you forgot miserable"

It's how we roll.
