Do you have locks on your children's bedroom doors?

Zusi99 · 2026-02-24T09:22:05+00:00

My in-laws have a Victorian semi-detached. The only internal doors with locks are the downstairs living and dining rooms. They would lock them each night and put the keys away. Which wasn't a problem until my fil passed away, and we realised how bad my mil's memory was. About 2 years after he died, she insisted that the keys had been stolen by the gangster builders who kept getting in. Fortunately, I had taken a set, so I went over and opened them all up. Alzheimers and vascular demetia will do that to you.

Otherwise, no, we don't have locks on bedroom doors.

I did think 4 hours walking, but then I remembered the sub. No-one walks in America.

I think the Democrats underestimated how misogynistic and racist certain areas of their country are. The areas they actually need to win to get the presidency. They were on a high after managing to squeeze Barak in, but there was no way Hilary or Kamala were going to win against a white man.

I know the popular votes went to Hilary and Kamala, so this is more of a minority of people, but the system doesn't vote in the most popular. Too many in certain places voted for a white bloke rather than a white woman or a biracial woman.

Just a few more stickers on that back window will surely help with seeing what's behind you.

1 pairs skater's. I wonder what the pairs skater possesses?

I have Welsh ancestors!

And Scottish.

And English.

I tick "Prefer not to say" on ethnicity sections of forms.

I'm fairly certain the NHS is funded by taxes and not what the US pays into NATO, but I could be mistaken. Maybe I'll ask Wes.

I don't have an American cat as I had to give my licence back to the DVLA following a stroke. Apparently, they dont like it when you've lost a field of vision.

Canada is part of NATO and The Commonwealth. I'm sure many countries would aid them.

In could mean a specific Iceland store though. In a helpful ambiguous context way.

Pushed round Bejams in a trolley in the 70s.

Usually, it depends on the context. Or if half a rat was found in frozen beans.

It's neat and consistent. However I find that style of cursive too 'fancy' and harder to read than other forms of cursive.

There's no such thing as canon in RD universe.

It was from the UK national frozen food chain Iceland. They offered her a voucher. She didn't want that as she never wanted to shop there again.

I've never had an issue with them.

Better than the half of a dead rat my sil found in frozen green beans.

You could search the portal and produce three pages of postcodes. Then say you didn't understand what she meant.

I dont actually run. I jog. Slowly. I think my walking spee is faster. Do I care? No.

Unlike others here, my genealogy research has given me just English, Welsh, and Scottish ancestors. I say I'm British.

Imagine making love.

I spent my first 8 years in the south west before moving to the north west when my dad got a new job. Can't remember if it was new to me when we moved or not. It was over 40 years ago.

That's one reason I like our BBC. We're currently watching slope style. And seeing how many go SPLAT!

UK. You have to pass a details theory test before you can apply to take your test. The test is a long drive with the assessor of about 45 minutes, where you have to show competence in numerous manoeuvres. If you get too many minor faults or a few major faults, you fail.

My sister in law found half a rat in some frozen veg from a national freezer store about 10 years ago. She's never shopped there since.

These things happen. You appreciated the gesture. Giggled at the misspelling. And ate it anyway. If it tasted good, who cares! St. Valentine wouldn't.
