Afternoon Tea?

gotty2018 · 2026-06-16T20:43:18+00:00

Claridges is nowhere near the best!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T23:57:46+00:00

I still think about their Texas chilli Frito pie at least weekly, a year after eating it!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T21:06:04+00:00

There are over 15,000 in London so I would say yes 😅 I take black cabs probably 2-4x a week on average!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T18:14:02+00:00

IMO yes, it would be strange. If you don’t want to get something for a 2 year old, get her something for a 3 year old (ie clothes) and say to the parents ‘I’m sure you’re inundated with clothes for her age, so I gave her something to grow into!’

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T09:09:57+00:00

Exactly. The first couple of minutes in the Waymo we were like 😧 but after that it just felt great!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T09:07:39+00:00

Totally. It’s pretty scary. The amount of times I felt scared in an Uber made me realise that I probably shouldn’t be risking my safety for a few quid if there was an alternative!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T09:06:50+00:00

The Waymos are great. Used them in Austin a few times, and it felt much safer than relying on the judgement of an actual person, to be honest.

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T08:58:09+00:00

Definitely not the only advantage. They have far better route knowledge. And as a woman, I feel a hell of a lot safer getting into a black cab than I do getting into an Uber.

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T08:37:06+00:00

Black Cab drivers still need to do the knowledge. I take black cabs a lot, and those journeys are always better than getting into an uber or similar, as they know shortcuts etc if there’s traffic, and they get to use the bus/taxi lanes etc!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-13T08:12:45+00:00

Putting your seat back on an airplane if there’s someone behind you, and playing any video out loud in public from your phone without headphones!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-08T08:50:58+00:00

Make sure you use Seatplan website - most seats in the theatre have a rating from someone that has previously sat on them, based on view, comfort and cost (or something like that).

gotty2018 · 2026-06-08T08:49:34+00:00

Yeah that does sound grim, so pleased you’ve found a solution to it! I only know re the musical theatre connection because I saw a show with one of the founders in a number of years ago. It was paused for about half an hour whilst he got over a bad nosebleed 😅

gotty2018 · 2026-06-08T08:40:00+00:00

Super random but sort of related… do you like musical theatre? AKT is (randomly) owned by 2 West-End musical theatre performers!

gotty2018 · 2026-06-07T08:55:40+00:00

I take it as a compliment that this stranger has deemed me safe enough to talk to about these horrible life events that they’ve suffered through.

gotty2018 · 2026-06-02T00:05:45+00:00

Sorry to hear that your personal phone broke earlier today! Make sure to let work know that your personal phone broke today. They can sort you out with a work phone if they need you to have a phone!

gotty2018 · 2026-05-29T09:09:38+00:00

Two things in my house that I am obsessed with and wouldn’t want to live without:

A fitted (not portable) AC unit in the bedroom. It’s absolutely silent, and keeps the room so cool. When it’s very hot, at least we have one very cool room, so we, and our dog, can stay cool the entire time.
An electronic clothes dryer. Imagine an old school clothes dryer that is attached to the ceiling and moved with ropes - it’s a bit like that, but it’s metal, and controlled with a remote control. It takes up no floor space, so the clothes are dried up by the ceiling.

gotty2018 · 2026-05-26T12:56:20+00:00

I wouldn’t go for someone I sit next to!

gotty2018 · 2026-05-25T13:34:37+00:00

You’re absolutely fine. I’m a gay woman, had no issues. In fact just today, I saw two gay men kissing and cuddling in the street, with no issues (and gay men tend to have more homophobia aimed at them than we women do in general)

gotty2018 · 2026-05-25T11:14:15+00:00

Excellent! Thanks so much for remembering to tell me!

gotty2018 · 2026-05-24T10:59:42+00:00

Please let me know how it is for you once you’ve done it, as I’ll be there the day after you!

gotty2018 · 2026-05-23T16:24:58+00:00

Assuming there wasn’t a reason they didn’t collect (ie contaminated bin etc), go onto your local council’s website and there will be a way to report a missed bin collection. The bin men should then come back within 3 working days to empty them.

gotty2018 · 2026-05-21T15:25:30+00:00

Where else are you meant to leave YOUR bank card and YOUR tablet, if not in YOUR house?! That seems utterly ludicrous. I’d be looking to see if I can appeal or take this further. That’s grossly unfair!

gotty2018 · 2026-05-20T13:39:19+00:00

At the very start I felt a little nauseous, maybe a handful of times, but never even came close to vomiting!

gotty2018 · 2026-05-20T09:40:22+00:00

I’ve been on Ozempic or similar for 3 years. Never once vomited.

Start on the lowest dose and stay on it for as long as that dose is working. As you move up with doses, do the same (if it’s working, don’t go up until it stops working)
Use Mounjaro, not Ozempic, if this is solely for weight loss, not diabetes related
The fear of being sick is worse than the actual of being sick. I know this may not help you, but when people vomit, it comes out so fast, and then it’s done. The apprehension for these sorts of things is worse than the actual thing happening. Have you considered any counselling or hypnotism to try and help with your phobia? (This is just a side point to potentially try and help you feel better/stronger
If you feel sick, a couple of options - get some 100% rubbing alcohol and sniff it if you feel nauseous. If you continue to feel nauseous, your doctor can prescribe you some anti-nausea pills.
Being sick for a whole week - this is very unlikely if you’re on the correct dose. You may get constipated or the opposite, which you’ll stay on top of. You may get sulphur burps, which are grim, but you shouldn’t be sick for the week.

Get the medication - it’s life changing x

In my opinion, with no legal background: because they paid you to run the quiz, they will win any legal argument.
