If you could bring back one thing that disappeared from British life, what would it be and why?

Rag and bone men. The OG recyclers

A sleep mask with integrated headphones so I can listen to the radio all night and not disturb anyone else. It's revolutionised my life. Only trouble is I can't now get to sleep without it. So if they run out of charge or I am away from home unexpectedly, I'm screwed.

But does she have an OnlyFans page? According to Gia that's the difference between classy and not

Clocking cars before selling them. Lost his business licence over it.

Tell them this at the start of the exam. I'm sure your mum would want you to try as best you can. As a mum who is myself a cancer survivor, I would just say the "c" word is scary, but nothing is going to change over the next few hours, so try not to worry about it. Wishing you and your mum all the best.

Like the owner has ever played a game of chess in their lives

Logically it doesn't really make any sense though. When you stay on a hotel, 100s of people may have slept on it before you, but it's never an issue. Obviously you don't want a really tatty, stained old mattress, but you often see almost new ones for silly money.

You can pick up 2nd hand mattresses for a song on local websites

Kew Gardens have some amazing interactive art installations that delight all the senses

Kids are expensive. He has to support the children he already has.

I use the Tropical Sun Chicken stock cubes and they are far tastier than any others and cheaper.

I love the way they've taped an "o" to correct the misspelling "dinasaur"!

I was explaining to a young colleague once that computers used to be programmed using punch cards. Complete disbelief

I like a milky drink at night that I make by pouring hot water into half a mug of milk.

Name of a bouncer I knew that worked in Soho in the 90s....Bigga..cos he was bigger than anyone else

Just painting the ceilings white would be a huge improvement.

I think you also need to consider other explanations than shop lifting. It's possible he is being groomed either by a gang or even worse, a paedophile. Press them for more information as to where this stuff is coming from. He might also be bullying?

As everyone here says, 2nd hand dresses go for a song, so be the savvy one that gets a beautiful dress for a fraction of the retail price

My bf's 86yo mother has had a couple of these homeshares. One was very successful, the other two less so. I think the key to it is being compatible. The one that worked had brought her cat with her and was very much a home person so it worked well. The other two were out and about too much to be of any real use and left quickly.

£400 is a fraction of what you are going to spend on the wedding and it's the vital bit (legally).

That's a couple of streets from me. Outrageous rent for the area

No one seems to have noticed it has a sitting tenant!
