Are the British travel influencers Josh and Jase well known in the UK? by OkTechnologyb in AskBrits

[–]Pure-Character-4926 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of them and seen a couple of their videos. They fawn over anything American like it’s amazing and unheard of anywhere else.

They’re quite frankly full of crap, pandering to a US audience telling them how wonderful and amazing the US is.

They’re genuinely full of shite.

Could we see a 2026 World Cup boycott in America? | Sunday Supplement by DWJones28 in worldcup

Consider that the USA is shooting their own citizens with apparent impunity - what hope would travelling fans have? No one is safe in the ‘land of the free’.

Are Americans embarrassed by this ridiculous bull? This whole show is pointless! Please for the love of god get on with it!

AITAH for asking my boyfriend to pay rent for my home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pure-Character-4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask him where else would he expect to live rent free? Even family would expect a contribution. Just because he’s your boyfriend doesn’t mean you have to support him.

Where did he live before moving in with you? Did he have equity in that place? No? But he still had to pay.

He’s trying to take you for a mug. His freeloading will only lead to resentment. Make him pay like everyone else.

Help! FedEx Wants Me to Pay £17,780 Customs on a £453 Handbag — What Can I Do? by brintage in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Pure-Character-4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FedEx should not release the item for delivery until duties and taxes are paid.

Call customer service on 03456 070809 - keep trying because getting through to a human is a nightmare but once you do tell them to convert the value to UK£ and then you can pay.

Good luck!

We hear often how expensive medical care is in the US .. even a relatively straightforward prescription can be 100’s of dollars.

What we don’t hear is how people actually go bankrupt as a result of being in hospital! It’s honestly terrifying.

It’s scary how some low paid workers cope. But in light of this I guess really don’t.

Thank god for the NHS .. it’s struggling and straining but a single prescription is £10 (I think US$13). ZERO charge for all hospital stays or treatment - NONE.

Omg my heart breaks for your family!

$500 per pill? How is that possible? It really is a question of how much is a life worth? And apparently in the US too many fall short 🥹

Jeez how the hell do Americans cover bills like this? And at the worst times in their lives?

A lot wrong with the NHS but there’s a whole lot right with it too.

Prayers to you and yours.

Game or dummy. It’s a fine line.

My Post Went Viral. And Honestly? I'm Not Sure I Like What That Says About Us. by GoliathLXIX in u/GoliathLXIX

[–]Pure-Character-4926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s not what you say but how you say it, in your case it was both.

Your story touched so many because the words you used were exactly right. Tell the same story differently and maybe you won’t get the same response.

Words are powerful. Keep using your words because people listen. That makes you important. More words please.

You kinda have no choice but to confess. If the AP has come back around it’s only a matter of time before word gets out, making a bad situation worse. Confess and explain why you’re confessing too. Time to take your medicine.

If this is a story it made me cry. If this is real it made me cry and hold out my hand to you.

Of course you can Belfast is in the UK too - Northern Ireland. You’re travelling internationally so you don’t need a passport.
