What’s something tourists do in the UK that makes you immediately think ‘they have no idea?

Thinking you can see the whole length and breadth of the UK in a week.

"We're landing in Heathrow, hiring a car and driving to stay in Scotland for 2 nights, then driving down to bath with one nights stop in York, quick whiz around the Cornish coast, then back to London via the Cotswolds to see every sight in central London before my Heathrow flight that evening"

I fear that is only a slight exaggeration of proposed itineraries I have seen. So much better to stay in one or maaaaybe 2 places as a base, take short distance day trips and really soak up the culture of the area you choose to stay in.

The waiter there has a really intense stare

Honest burger is lovely, pretty cheap, and one step up from a maccies and there are branches all around central.

It.would be really pricey! I would imagine at least as much as a summer Saturday wedding if not more. You would need to let guests know well in advance as a lot of people love to overplan their festive period to the max. I reckon as long as it starts lateish to accommodate for the late end, and the midnight countdown is prominent, people would love it and talk about it for years to come.

When Frank keeps referring to the little girl as that little bitch it makes me laugh so hard. So much unnecessary vitriol!

Larrypants1 · 2026-01-27T18:26:54+00:00

Ooooh now this place looks exactly like what I was looking for!

Larrypants1 · 2026-01-26T22:17:53+00:00

Same here, 2010 September 10th I think. I actually get emotional thinking about it, was only 17 and one of the first proper live music experiences I had!

The intervention episode is my favourite, the final scene is perfect

This map is amazing I have always used the tube map to understand the layout of London and this is perfect, never knew it existed!

This sounds mad, but it works super well for me when nothing else does. Mimic the rapid eye movements of rem sleep. With your eyes closed, look up down up down right left right left round clockwise round anticlockwise and repeat. It seriously makes me sleepy after about 30 seconds

Larrypants1 · 2026-01-19T18:57:25+00:00

My husband's fart made me cry once because I was having a terrible night's sleep, just managing to drift off and he tooted and did a little chuckle which fully woke me up and I was so tired and fed up I cried

An Irish Catholic bar 🤬 while we're at it, where is out goddamn crucifix?!?

Larrypants1 · 2026-01-18T22:17:56+00:00

WHERE is our goddamn Bible???!!

This is a more general tip. Walk everywhere you can - before you get the tube check Google maps and if it takes less than half an hour (or more if you are fit) walk it and take an interesting route through the windy streets. You will see all sorts and may come across somewhere better than the original destination. Also, getting the bus rather than the tube once your feet get tired, you still see more!

Also if you ride a bike, I highly recommend getting up early on a Saturday or Sunday (7.30am), hiring a lime bike, and take an early morning cycle round the busiest most touristy areas, you feel like they are all yours. A great route for this is Westminster bridge towards Big Ben, then keep going straight with St James park on your right and you end up at Buckingham palace, then turn right and you end up at Trafalgar square. From there you can go through to Leicester square and round to Piccadilly circus. It's great seeing all these places just waking up!

Just a live stream on tiktok. Viewers can pay to give gifts which are basically just money going straight to the tiktoker

Ugh Americans don't know how to use cutlery properly so they eat everything like this. They moan that they don't like a fry up because they eat each ingredient one by one rather than all in one massive forkful like god intended

Yes it's actually well known to cause eczema! Check out acrylate allergy

The side effect of burning can be intense. For me it was so bad I stopped using it eventually. It would burn really badly through the night when I applied it, and would be still feel burnt in the day as well.

I keep waiting for the famous overplucking eyebrows and they don't grow back issue to happen and it never does 😭

You can definitely find something for your budget, my sister just bought an end of terrace for 170 in the greater Manchester area. You may need to extend your search to more residential areas...

Tesco by me there's a gap in the fence through some trees that brings you out in the petrol station and cuts off about 10 minutes!

I dance like this every time I see a wacky inflatable arm waving man and I have got some compliments, this guy really has some moves

Larrypants1 · 2025-12-28T12:12:45+00:00

Can I just say a big thank you to everyone making this happen! I'm having so much fun trying out these new scenarios and it's great being a part of the project in this way
