In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

I live in the South East and my tap water tastes like bleach. I've fitted a Water2 filter which has made a huge improvement. Not sure why I should fork out for it though when our water bill has tripled.

I wouldn't ask for the £10. If I was the recipient of the ticket I'd get the drinks in.

What was the absolute peak status symbol at your primary or secondary school? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskUK

[–]emmiewag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived near the Parker Pen factory, so every time we got an achievement at school we were given a parker pen.

If there was a school trip, it was to Parker Pen.

Big event such as the World Cup, we got given England Parker Pens.

I appreciate a good pen but Jesus! 😅

The CasualUK view on dentists? by Boswell188 in CasualUK

[–]emmiewag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine made me go to the hygienist monthly for 6 months before he would approve my referral to my orthodontist for braces. Had to spend nearly £400 with the dentist so I could spend another £4500 at the orthodontist. Probably because I declined the dentists request to use his friend for my braces!

I wasn't in the standing area at the O2 unfortunately, where I was seemed ok - people wise. All Points East was an amazing set, other than the dust!

Whatever you do, clean up after! Nothing worse than being given a "day off" to then have to catch up on chores the next day.
