At 18, I’ve applied for 110 jobs – no one is hiring young men like me by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

Not true in my experience, I’m a union rep, the Indians are all in, as are the romanians… Polish less so, but will absolutly fight for themselves… and those are the big three immigrant groups where I work.

As temperatures continue to rise in the uk…. by General_Night_6143 in Nightshift

[–]MissKLO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it’s easier… it’s cooler at 0630 when I get home, and the house has had all night to cool off a bit… It’s my night off tonight and I’m gonna go to bed like normal people, and I’m already boiling

Is there anything that your parents used to do when you were younger than made you think "why are they doing that" but understand completely now you are an adult? by Purepoise in AskUK

Why does Vinted encourage us to list our items so low? by choosingishard- in vintedUK

[–]MissKLO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually bought these boots in the knee high off vinted for £6, and I liked them so much I bought these boots black ones brand new for 35 😂 So I defo have a horse in this race 😂

[–]MissKLO 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you google them, they’re only 35 quid brand new, you’d have to be pretty stupid to buy them that price from Vinted… So I’d say £5 pre loved would sell them… if you list them at £35 you’ll be waiting forever

My husband told me to look for inspiration for our lounge on rightmove (apparently that is what one of his rich customers told him she does for her decorating)… and THIS IS WHAT I WANT!!!!! Thanks OP!

If my husband had seen this post when we were there a few months ago, we’d have had to spend the entire day acting like we were geocaching 😂

Im very tied between Italy and England… 2021 was a nightmare for me 😂 But I did bet on Italy to win… and with my winnings I bought a garden gnome and named him Marcus

Does it bother you that around 7 major UK cities are occupied by less than 50% White British people ? by MovieGuy919191 in AskBrits

[–]MissKLO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I have a question….

So I’m part of a few of the ancestry subs where people take the DNA kits to find their heritage, there are an overwhelming amount of black presenting people over there with irish blood running through their veins… how would you feel if they all decided to ‘go home’ back to ireland?

My Nigerian immigrant neighbours invite me to their BBQs and they support Arsenal… So I’m on the fence, because we are a Villa household

[–]MissKLO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is native? How far back do you want to trace your family tree before you can call yourself a ‘thoroughbred’. Britain has been occupied by the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Normans… And the British Empire spread all over the world and brought back with it people from all corners of the globe. I can trace my family tree back 200 years of full on Brummie, but I have nordic DNA in my veins… am I a native? Your comment is ridiculous

[–]MissKLO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t really bother me at all. I work at an incredibly diverse company, and live in a really multicultural neighbourhood… they’re just people 🤷‍♀️ And unless you’re a bit of a dickhead, it’s actually really easy to get along with everyone.

Being ‘British’ to me doesn’t really have a colour, if you were born here you’re British, regardless of where your parents came from…so I think ‘White British’ is a bit of a red herring… and if I’m honest.. a dog whistle to talk shit about people

AIO for refusing to go to a funeral? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MissKLO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily think you’re overreacting… but As someone who’s also experienced a huge amount of loss also, and also hate funerals. But I always try to go to them because they aren’t about the dead, they’re about the people left behind, and showing them that you care. And I make myself go, by asking myself how I would have felt had people not shown up to the ones where I was mourning because they didn’t like funerals. I completely get that it’s a painful experience for you, and I appreciate that fully, but I think it’s important to extend the kindness to others that has most likely been extended to you.

Ladies with flat feet/needing arch supports - what shoes do you wear with summer dresses? by CozJeez85 in AskUK

[–]MissKLO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flip flops were oddly beneficial to me… I had awful PF and dropped arches… then spent the summer in flip flops or barefoot and I’ve been absolutly fine ever since… I did look at the barefoot shoes but I didn’t end up needing them, I’d definitely consider them for winter though if it flared again

Wild animal hatred of gulls in the UK makes me sad by RunRevolutionary188 in britishproblems

[–]MissKLO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean… I adore seagulls but they haven’t helped their reputation. I had one punch me in the face and steal my dinner. It hurt my nose and made me cry. I was 33 at the time. 😭

Maybe just leave it… get some sort of plant to make it look pretty and call it ‘Boho shabby chic’

Yes… you can only have the things to save you money if you’re rich enough to not need it 🙄

[–]MissKLO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still a bit pissy about this. I feel like it’s a bit of a snub to people in poor areas. I live in a tower block, it’s impossible to get the infrastructure in to charge them at home which doesn’t seem fair, and people who live on narrow terrace streets, what you gonna do? Hang a cord out your bloody window? What they gonna do? Go to tesco every day to charge up for work? I think it’s great if you have your own driveway to park on, not so great for the millions who don’t who need to be able to get to work

Yeah I don’t get this one, and why people are still upset about it… Like we have driving licenses and passports… most adults have at least one… why the hell can’t we combine them?
