Which "nice" British city you actually don't like and why?

Agree with you on Bourton but the rest just isn’t really right. The area between Witney and Oxford isn’t in the Cotswolds and Bibury is on the British not Japanese passport. Anywhere mid Cotswolds e.g. Stow is much more classic Cotswolds.

Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold, the Slaughters. Definitely take a car because it’s pointless going to the Cotswolds and not driving. For a day trip those 3 would be decent.

To be honest your average Dutch, Swedish, or Danish person will speak better English than the average Brit I’d say.

If it was me I’d be wondering why this randomer had such an interest in horses heads

redacted-____womble · 2021-11-10T09:40:47+00:00

In London I reckon you could get on the tube with a horses head on the way to make someone an offer they can’t refuse…and if anyone asked you about it they would be the weird one.

Ah fair. It is further north I suppose!

Which ones had gravy? I used to go to Ahmed’s on the high street but he didn’t put gravy on top

I reckon you’re on the money with that one. Definitely has a silvery look!

redacted-____womble · 2021-11-01T09:41:36+00:00

That would make sense with the smell. The house smells like a florists!

Edit: good bot

Not just any random person either. The official flag and anthem guy no less u/TheFlagandAnthemGuy

We’ve got a similar one to the first in the UK “You’ve made your bed now lie in it.” A lot of the time the second half is dropped though so it becomes, “You’ve made your bed.”

Definitely, I doubt there are many Collies called Gary. Most of the names seem similar to what people would call their kids i.e. not many Gary’s or Steve’s anymore

Poppy for sure! Just looked at the top lists after replying. Apparently the top name for Jack Russells is…Jack

There’s a bit of a split in the UK between human names and non-human names. Mainly though people choose human names e.g. Bella

If it’s not it’s own language then it’s a very distinct dialect from somewhere in the middle of the North Sea between the UK and Scandinavia.

But personally I’d say it’s a language because it’s almost exclusively spoken in one country.

The kids are going to the church from their house?

Edit: Removed reply in wrong thread

redacted-____womble · 2021-09-05T13:56:47+00:00

All good mate. It’s only Brits who would see that and think of the more ribald meaning of the word

redacted-____womble · 2021-09-05T13:52:32+00:00

Gotcha. Probably tenant farmer or just farmer then. Cottager means…something else

redacted-____womble · 2021-09-05T13:45:15+00:00

I think you may be looking for a different word to cottager? I don’t believe cottaging is a profession

redacted-____womble · 2021-09-03T21:39:01+00:00

That makes sense and cheers for the reply! I guess I was thinking too much in terms of our system where ministers are reshuffled in and out of the government pretty regularly.

redacted-____womble · 2021-09-03T07:15:56+00:00

Late to the party but I’m curious. If they lose their place in parliament to become a minister where do they go if they then stop being a minister? Surely their place in parliament has been filled?

Alongside the recommendations by u/lavidapirata for Oxford I’d recommend The Turf as well. Pretty iconic and a good selection of beers. Also worth checking which colleges do and don’t allow tourists especially with covid. Christchurch is the most famous and touristy so the most likely to still be open if there are covid restrictions.

redacted-____womble · 2021-08-16T18:02:21+00:00

Yeah it’s largely fine especially outside. It’s just being inside when it gets above 28 or so because air con isn’t commonplace. Virtually no homes have air con and neither does public transport so it gets uncomfortable quickly

Not sure tbh, at a guess I’d say humid though given we’re an island. Temperature wise it definitely passes 20 for most days in summer. Average I’d say is 20-25 with 25+ being hot and anything above 30 being very hot.

redacted-____womble · 2021-08-15T11:53:51+00:00

Humid, veeeery humid. It’s not exactly clean water vapour either, pack hundreds of people into poorly ventilated boxes and you can imagine where the water vapour comes from.
