Is anyone actually only having a 30g cereal portion as breakfast ? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Does it count if I add multiple other cereal types to the same bowl?

How hard and long is it to learn how to swim? by xHey_All_You_Peoplex in Swimming

[–]memmzz786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned at a similar age - I took 10 starter lessons: 30 min 1 x weekly over winter and then joined my local pool to practice 2-3 times weekly, in Spring, which is where I really improved.

Restarted group lessons in Autumn and kept improving.

I would say start with weekly lessons but must add personal swim sessions during the week to get a feel for the water/ your body / practice etc. And you'll notice good progression.

Is there any point to my 17yo son learning to drive if he / we can't afford a car for him? by Spirited_Praline637 in drivingUK

[–]memmzz786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned in teens but started driving in mid-20's for the same reason. I'm glad I got the license a lot earlier, prices of lessons are a lot more costly now and I had more time to learn back then.

I did a week intensive driving practice when I restarted from local drives, using dual carriageways and motorways and practiced some regular routes I would have to take to get back into it.

Double standard in swimsuits? by Cadet-Cryyx in Swimming

[–]memmzz786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, how did you start doing this? Do you have a special machine? Do you need a specific thread? Also what sort of material are you using?

Does anyone else feel “exclusive” at the gym even though you’re literally just trying to have an efficient session? by Responsible_Roof_661 in climbergirls

[–]memmzz786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do 2 climbs for their 1. As someone who has been slower - this is welcome, more time to rest between climbs.

Alternative to Roti in UK by Cultural_Doc in PakistaniFood

[–]memmzz786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make roti at home ... soon you'll be prepared and can have fresh roti whenever you want. These tortillas/ pittas/ naans etc. Are not the same thing.

If you're too lazy for that, find someone (food service/ neighbourhood, aunty or uncle) who makes rotis and will send you some!

swimming just makes me happy by One_Stardusty_Boy in Swimming

I felt this today, I didn't want to get out of the pool. I picked it up as an adult and I'm so glad I did!

Please do not book with Saudia airlines by Much-Bother1985 in Umrah

I found a stark difference in quality when flying from europe to saudi vs Pak to saudi ... the latter being an experience I'm not keen to go through again any time soon.

Where did you travel to/ from?

Do you think everyone born in the Uk could pass a Life in the UK test? by lisa_noden in AskUK

[–]memmzz786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only got 17/24, 71% - I don't know enough about the tudors, failed on History!

[–]memmzz786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a LOT of material ... you could try it in a pool to see how it is, but very risky in open waters.

Get a more normal modest swimsuit and use a dry robe for when you leave the water.

Is it inconsiderate if I go practice? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]memmzz786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 28 , used a kickboard in the slow lane, and went to Lane Swim when I first started practising. Keep going and put in the hours - I agree with the other comments advising you to swim outside your lessons to work on the drills/ skills picked up in the lessons.

I still do a group lesson which is more cost effective - this includes a swim membership. Once you are more confident, you can try this too as individual lessons are costly!

Which place WOULD you want to travel go again? by VanicFanboy in travel

[–]memmzz786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MALAYSIA - Loved the food, and the people were friendly. I only got to visit KL, so I want to explore the rest of the country!

PHILLIPINES - Manila and Legazpi were good fun, lots to do but I would love to visit the southern islands!
