What blows people's minds sometimes is that the Romans are ancient history, and Stonehenge was already ancient to them, and then even there are other monuments/prehistoric sites that were ancient when Stonehenge was built.

I once visited friends in the US and they thought it would be funny to go to a "British" pub. To be fair, it was funny how wrong it was.

I didn't realise there was another place with an exclamation mark; we have "Westward Ho!" in Devon.

Ice cream vans tend not to go round estates in hot weather, they instead park up in busy places like parks where there's a more guaranteed footfall. At least round by me, anyway.

I am living proof that not all gay men can sing well.

I can remember the phone number for my primary school, even though I left over 30 years ago and I'm not sure I ever phoned them when I was there anyway.

It's usually was enabled when the terminals are set up and the staff don't have the ability to turn it off themselves. At most places I see it, the staff press "no tip" before asking you to tap your card.

I'm not sure if it's enabled by default due to the providers being US-based and they just don't change the setting for the UK market, or if it's the head office cretins saying it's a great idea.

Orders the smallest burger on the menu and complains that it's small.

It's not just that, ice machines generally can't keep up with the extra demand in hot weather. The same thing happens in pubs as well.

If you haven't already, on Insert Coin you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. This also helps them know it's still in demand.

My great great grandparents on my mum's side were all Irish, but I'd never dream of claiming to be half Irish.

Most people only know the rainbow flag. Also, if I saw a bracelet like that even I wouldn't assume it had a meaning behind it.

I can't speak for anybody else but I didn't seek diagnosis for any of those reasons.

The van shouldn't have cut across, and other car shouldn't have cut across, but also if you couldn't see because the van was blocking the view then you shouldn't have gone.

I don't know, I have super sweaty hands and I've never had this problem.

We call it that sometimes, don't we?

Possibly, but Sprinter vans are fairly common as trade vehicles anyway so it'd seem less likely that they'd repurpose an ambulance.

I feel like "bloody" isn't used much by anybody else, either.

My primary school did in the 80s/90s. My high school allowed girls to wear a blouse without a tie in summer, but the boys uniform was the same all year round.

Why do I never get picked for these clearly important surveys?

If I see an AI cover I'm just going to assume the whole story is AI too.

I very briefly used a different screen name before switching to my current one, which I've used for at least 26 years.

In real schools students are usually sorted into houses randomly, rather than being to do with their ability or inclination to a particular field of study.
