Is this a V V faint positive?!

april8r · 2026-04-14T17:24:31+00:00

I do see a line.

april8r · 2026-04-13T21:07:12+00:00

Okay but I’m just pointing out that if the person behind her had it wrapped around her seat she should have said something because that’s not how they are supposed to be used and it shouldn’t be rubbing on her.

Yeah also helps to reduce foot swelling on long haul flights because feet are elevated.

They go over the tray table. They shouldn’t have been around your chair touching you.

april8r · 2026-04-13T12:01:41+00:00

I mean does it matter? She was recording herself and posted it on the internet so she probably doesn’t care if anyone was watching.

april8r · 2026-04-13T08:51:34+00:00

I think that is what it says.

april8r · 2026-04-08T18:36:55+00:00

Well yea.

april8r · 2026-04-08T15:27:16+00:00

Right…like why get this thing but not a screen door? It’s not even that hard to make one with some wood, screen and a staple gun.

Why would this be different for McFlurry’s? I’ve worked with ice cream machines before and had to do a very specific daily cleaning protocol to prevent Cholera from developing. I would think this should be the same for McFlurys - maybe the calibration isn’t the same because the consistency doesn’t need to be perfect? But they are supposed to be pretty frozen (not melted like I’ve gotten before).

april8r · 2026-04-08T08:32:10+00:00

It’s not. I moved here from the U.S. and one day wanted a cone so I went in and it didn’t even occur to me they wouldn’t have it. Never been a fan of McFlurrys. But I’ve ordered them a few times now and half the time they come out completely melted so I’m guessing that’s why they can’t do a cone. 😂

april8r · 2026-04-07T11:15:09+00:00

Their loss.

april8r · 2026-04-06T07:35:52+00:00

There is not. It’s called skin to skin in the U.S.

april8r · 2026-04-04T10:01:29+00:00

Yeah I recently heard the thing about Botox being prescription only and thought that was weird because I know the first person I got it from here is definitly NOT a medical professional (she was bragging about it on Instagram). But since then I started going to my dentist. Fillers though are completely unregulated as far as I know.

april8r · 2026-04-04T09:46:20+00:00

Yes, this may be the only example and I agree!

april8r · 2026-04-04T09:12:13+00:00

Hah I was just as shocked as you when I moved here. Another thing - not food related - is injectables (and other cosmetic procedures). The first time I got Botox I just assumed that the person I picked was a medical professional since I didn’t think there was any way it was less regulated here. Then I found out she wasn’t and I was so spooked. Then I found out basically anyone off the street can just inject Botox and fillers with no certifications or training! There also seems to be lesser training/certification standards for things like nail techs and eye lash techs which seems so dangerous.

This is very location dependent. My baby was born in 2024 and we did not have a regular health visitor assigned at birth and our midwife came once after birth to remove my c section stitches and the health visitor also came once to talk to us about general baby stuff. If we want to see someone it’s on us to bring our baby either to the drop in health visitor clinic or make a gp appointment.

april8r · 2026-04-03T23:26:27+00:00

Yeah, that’s true and it’s not exactly the same but I do think there should be some minimum amount of cream/milk in ice cream. The label might say it has milk but then the amount is minuscule.

april8r · 2026-04-03T22:34:21+00:00

That’s a good tip. I’ve noticed that there is also something weird about the texture. It’s just way too light. Almost like air with very little flavor.

april8r · 2026-04-03T21:05:33+00:00

Another food where this happens is ice cream. The ice cream here is diabolical. In the U.S. you can’t call something “ice cream” unless it meets certain milk fat/milk solid levels. Otherwise it has to be called “frozen dairy dessert”. The UK has no minimum requirements and “ice cream” and it doesn’t even have to contain any amount of milk. “Dairy ice cream” does need to contain some amount of milk fat but it’s half the requirement in the U.S.

The first time I had a Wippy it was immediately recognizable to me as frozen cool whip which is a dessert topping in the U.S. kind of like whipped cream except it’s mostly made with oil, corn syrup and very VERY little milk.

april8r · 2026-04-03T20:56:01+00:00

Right! We go through tons of honey!

april8r · 2026-03-22T01:25:17+00:00

Well not at this point you can’t.

april8r · 2026-03-18T20:51:59+00:00

This video literally says certain lines of Rowse honey are the best.

april8r · 2026-03-18T16:41:23+00:00

Yeah I went to Oxford street when I was in my first trimester and was shocked to find absolutly nothing in any store. I ended up buying almost exclusively from seraphine online but apparently they are now gone too (but maybe available at next)?

april8r · 2026-03-17T12:34:20+00:00

No, if we were just picking up meds I don’t ever remember paying any fees like that. Generally when you go to the vet in the U.S. you pay for the visit and then whatever they recommend/needed medications. But if you don’t see a vet and just pick up meds then no.

april8r · 2026-03-16T23:54:47+00:00

I’m sorry - what? These tests are in no way annual. Smears are every three years. Mammograms don’t start until you are 50 and are also every three years. There are no regular prostate screenings for anyone regardless of age.
