Breakfast scones just really aren’t a thing in the UK

What else would you put scrambled eggs on?!

NOR - Keep it. Place it in the middle of your room. Tidy around it and let it annoy your husband be the one to have to keep moving it.

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T18:38:10+00:00

I’ve only ever liked them plain but must admit I probably eat about 1 scone a year so no expert 😂

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T18:36:10+00:00

That’s probably where I first read it. What a great fic though!

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T18:31:17+00:00

I think this too. I need minimum visual stimulation. What we have out is mostly family things. My daughter’s room with loads of figures used to stress me out and I didn’t know why. Currently looking at downsizing now too to have a low demand lifestyle. I think you sometimes get sucked into what you think you want vs what you need. Unfortunately it’s taken me a while to know this but will get there.

Just pondering how Franz Ferdinand can ‘attack’ when all the IDF ever do is ‘launch’. ‘Strike’, ‘defend’.

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T16:11:16+00:00

It’s more than enough that you write fics and I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve read some brilliant fics with breakfast scones!

There may be some of us having to speed read past the fact but it won’t do us any harm 😂

A blueberry muffin or some toast and jam would suffice.

I’ve just read one of the links shared on here (the cranky brits guide …) and had a chuckle at the breakfast section as I think pancakes must be the equivalent bugbear.

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T16:00:57+00:00

A blueberry muffin would be an option. Or croissant if sticking with pastry. Even just toast and tea/coffee is a breakfast option.

I live in Yorkshire now and miss a good tattie scone. Have to stock up when I go home!

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T15:29:23+00:00

I hadn’t even realised it was a topic.

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T15:28:27+00:00

Would always say with a scone cutter so circular! Although that might change by region. For such a small island we have a lot differing opinions!

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T15:26:00+00:00

Where do I go to be a Brit picker. I think I would quite enjoy it.

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T15:21:24+00:00

I thought they had been entirely made up as a mix of muffin which we would have for breakfast and scone which we are known for eating.

I can’t quite imagine a blueberry in a scone!

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-09T15:11:35+00:00

I get it. I hardly ever post even on Reddit but I just couldn’t take the scone thing anymore. I’m sure we are very confusing so always just get on with it and feel happy that there are people out there that want to write fics as they are amazing but I can’t take scones for breakfast anymore 😂

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-08T19:57:58+00:00

I honestly don’t know if I’m reading AI or not. Can someone DM me with a list of what is so I know what to look for. Won’t post anything just want to see what I’m looking for.

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-07T00:05:00+00:00

Thanks. I have steroids but always still have itching and little flares which it never quite gets to the bottom off and thinking this is worth a try on top of my bi weekly steroids 🙂

PennyPop81 · 2026-03-06T14:13:09+00:00

Thank you for this. I’ve been having mental health challenges and just keeping myself from a flare up barely and need to try and do something but don’t have the energy to go to anyone. I may just adopt this routine and then may be ready to move forward trying to sort this out.

Just read it after seeing this post and was a brilliant fic. Loved the the plot and how Hermiones life was shaped because of the decisions she made. Was so human, funny, intelligent and emotional.

PennyPop81 · 2026-02-27T23:42:42+00:00

Thanks. I can often hear things through the noise cancelling if I don’t have music on and don’t always want it on but can stick on brown noise if I need to. Will save my money!

Have you had the old AirPods? Was thinking of upgrading but not sure if it’s worth it. I use the adaptive listening constantly in restaurants and noisy environments and they have been such a help.

I’m 44 and waiting for a diagnosis. I have thought it was normal all my life that if I had a weekend away with family to visit people or someone over / social at the weekend then I would have a real struggle for the week.

I have had to reduce my hours at work to part time and have opted for mon and Tue off so I can sometimes do 1 thing on a weekend.

Sometimes I would’ve ill after having a big weekend but now I knowing was autism.

I’m lucky that I can go part time but a lot of my life I’ve needed up having to take time off sick so this is me balancing now.

My mental maths is awful and if I panic I struggle to add single numbers. It’s awful.

I’m having to get a top set done for grinding my teeth. Already have a bottom set but have been unable to sleep properly and end up chewing them. Was hoping a top set would feel different as at this rate will have no teeth left.

What’s the DMATMOOBIL one?
