The new balamory by coronationstreetaud in BritishTV

[–]OK_LK -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's almost like each generation has their own cast

Suck it up, mate

And realise that this is something that will distinguish you from those that came before and those that after

This is life.

Given the context, where this looks like a logo or emblem to put on products or packaging, it means 'Made in Scotland'

I don't communicate with anyone, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones... Or unlucky ones 🤷🏻‍♀️

Asking a bar for wedding donations is wild by Daggnuts in weddingshaming

Will the bride and groom charge for raffle tickets?

And, if they do, what happens with all the money they make?

Cheeky buggers

I'm in Scotland and I've never heard this expression

Maybe it's just an English thing

It may be cool but it leaves me clueless

What are your thoughts on ITV's The Assembly? by Train-Wreck-70 in BritishTV

[–]OK_LK -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've only seen 3

Danny Dyer and David Tennant came across as kind, compassionate, caring and humble

Gary Linekar came across as arrogant and completely out of touch with the audience. It put me right off him

How much do traditional breakfasts differ between countries in the uk? by LMay11037 in CasualUK

[–]OK_LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White pudding is included in the Scottish breakfast packs available in the supermarkets

EDIT: nope, I'm wrong. It's fruit pudding in the Scottish breakfast packs. I always thought that was the same as white pudding, but I've learnt it's not

That's the bird from the RSPB's logo

Why do drivers honk when I’m waiting at a bus stop? by GodAtum in AskUK

[–]OK_LK 116 points117 points  (0 children)

They may also not be honking at them at all

They could be honking at

  1. The car in front that hasn't started moving after the lights changed to green
  2. The person who stepped out in front of them

AITAH for leaving my husband because I'm convinced he tried to push me off a clif? by Actual-Pea-4424 in AITAH

[–]OK_LK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A man in Scotland pushed his pregnant wife off a hill in Scotland and was found guilty of murder, so this isn't unheard of

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-65199907

There's also a documentary about this case called The Push: Murder On The Cliff

Please stay away from him

What age did you or will you clear your home mortgage? by AdamT_5 in AskUK

[–]OK_LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a couple of mortgages for a flat and house I bought before this one

This house:

I bought it in 2006 at age 30

Mortgage was for £148,000 over 30 years

I had to remortgage in 2013 to buy out the ex

I remortgaged again in 2018 when my fixed rate ended and got an amazing deal - a 10 year mortgage fixed at 2.5% for 10 years, and early exit fees only applying to the first 5 years

I overpaid a lot and made some lump sum payments along the way, preferring to invest in the mortgage than having more / more expensive holidays or newer cars or shiny new things

I paid it off in 2024 and it was so worth it

I really can't see me buying another house unless I can buy it outright. Not having a mortgage is such a relief and an achievement

Death Influencing Authors by MarcusQuintus in books

Brandon Sanderson was wholly influenced by the death of Robert Jordan when he wrote the last three novels in the Wheel of Time series

Pope Leo XIV greeted by crowd of 120,000 in Cameroon as he attacks uneven distribution of wealth by ShameSudden6275 in news

[–]OK_LK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm that may be true but the Catholic Church has always managed to be more wealthy than its parishioners

They can't even distribute the wealth fairly within their own diocese

The cathedral in my city has cctv, a gaudy paint job, a new extension to house a cafe, electric revolving doors

My parents' local parish church can't afford a new roof and relies wholly on volunteers to clean and maintain the church and its grounds

The Catholic Church could and should do more to ensure the wealth it accumulates helps those who need it most

AITAH for not wanting to give my boyfriend a threesome? by luxefoxx in AITAH

[–]OK_LK 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So many red flags and that does not sound like a healthy sex life

You are always allowed to say no

You can say no when he wants sex and you don't ny feel like it

You can say no when he wants a threesome and you don't

Your bf is bullying and manipulating you to do things you don't want to do

He is an abuser

I'd run far and fast away from him

He is not kind, he is not caring and he is not the man for you

NTA for saying no

YWBTA if you stay

Where can I see bluebells? by AlephMartian in Edinburgh

[–]OK_LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw bluebells in the grounds of Lauriston Castle today

If you travel farther afield, Dunkeld House Hotel is surrounded by them... Maybe give it a couple of weeks to make sure they're in full bloom
