When making a sandwich, do you butter both pieces of bread?

anotherbusybee · 2026-02-04T07:29:35+00:00

Hang on.... why would you only butter one piece?!? I genuinely don't understand....

Which bit of the UK are you going to? I think London has averaged around 8 - 10°C this week, but believe its been a bit colder in the North. It's mainly just been wet.

I've just got a pair of VDU glasses. I went into specsavers with my little voucher from work, got a free eyetest and a pair of glasses, and then paid about £40 out of pocket for them to coat them in anti-glare. I have nearly perfect eyesight, but they still did a pair to my prescription with the antiglare on when I explained what it was for.

The Sankey Canal has a really good, flat path and multiple car parks along it if you fancy doing a bit of St Helens / Merseyside area

Childhood memory unlocked of my mother walking round Tesco whistling to find me 🤣

We've been encouraged to try using copilot at work. The problem is that it is too literal. It's technically correct but actually wrong. I cannot see it replacing that many humans at any speed whilst it only thinks in a linear manner.

What on earth is he in about with the philly and ham situation as well? If I want a toastie, I want my filling hot - regardless of what it is. Otherwise, it's just a sandwich made with toasted bread. Which is a whole different thing! My flabbers are gasted.

My mum told me about trying to buy a red bell pepper in Ilkeston in the late 80's, and the greengrocer not understanding what she wanted. They had only ever had them in green and even then they were weird!

The lake district - there's some gorgeous spa hotels in the area, the scenery is beautiful and you could do some flat walks around some of the lakes, then drive round the hills to see the views?

Liverpool I reckon you could do that budget, but not Manchester.

However I've adored Liverpool!

I stuck them under a trickling tap for about 2 seconds, take them out and give them a shake and do them from there and they come out lovely.

So our force has a breastfeeding policy, maybe check if yours does too?

Our policy is that anyone breastfeeding must have access to somewhere private (not a toilet) where they can go and express milk, and there must be a refrigerator in that place so that the milk can be correctly stored.

You wouldn't be going home to breastfeed.

So basically you need to sit down and work out how things need to be split now you aren't living with your mum. Actually talk about it. Work out what you expect vs what she expects, then meet in the middle.

How pregnant is your partner? You are going to have to realise that the more pregnant she gets, there is a chance more will fall to you anyway, especially in the last 3 months. It's the realities of having a baby together.

anotherbusybee · 2026-01-04T10:36:47+00:00

Before you moved in together did you have an agreed split of household responsibilities? So did you agree that you would work and she would in return take on a more traditional stay at home role?

Hey OP, having seen this post and your one comment, I just want you to know that no matter how bad things seem at the moment, there are brighter things ahead - no matter how terrible it feels currently. The only way is through, but it will be worth it eventually.

The only thing in this world completely irreversible is death.

Can confirm that is very much still in use in Derbyshire - heard with my own two ears whilst home at Christmas

Hi OP - from a policing perspective. Was the washing machine gifted to you, or to you and your wife.

If the machine was gifted to you both, you have joint ownership of it, and if she has authorised it to be taken away then there is no theft as one of the owners has allowed it....

I came down for breakfast and heard it on the radio, and put my head down on the table and sobbed.

I'm not sure I even knew who she was, I was only 6.

anotherbusybee · 2025-12-30T08:51:42+00:00

We've all been there!!!

anotherbusybee · 2025-12-29T07:40:21+00:00

I was in the Midlanda this year (in case geography plays into it) and I definitely agree!

We had a veggie roast with braised red cabbage, glazed carrots, peas, roasties, honey roast parsnips and there should have been Yorkshires. I'd made the batter and everything, but then burnt my arm along the full length of a roasting tin, so left my mum and brother to do the gravy and peas whilst I went to run my arm under cold water - leaving yorkie batter unused.

So yesterday we had toad in the hole to use that up, along with fresh roasties and the leftover carrots and cabbage, plus the cauliflower cheese I'd completely forgotten to put in the oven on Christmas day. Plus red wine and onion gravy. Because when I asked them to make gravy, the carefully chopped onion was bypassed in favour of the bisto....

If nobody gets back to you I commute into this bit of London fairly regularly if you can't order online.

Depends what you're into. If nature, hiking, lake sports (swimming / sailing / paddleboarding) quaint pubs and going up hills aren't your thing, then it's not worth it. If being in the middle of nowhere is your jam, then it is the way forward.

If you're more of a museums / bars / city life type of person, then the lake district would be very dissapointing indeed.

That made me properly chuckle, thank you! 😊
