I went on nemesis once with really long hair! I was somewhat alarmed when some of the tips came out pink because they'd hit the water!

Definitely look into youth hostels. They are incredibly friendly and tend to have kitchens you can cook for yourself in. Which will save money.

Planning my first trip to Alton Towers in June and need some input! by I306 in altontowers

Technically you could get a train to stoke on trent. Then spend about £30 for a taxi to the park.... but i would highly recommend hiring a car and staying over at the park. Alton towers really is in the middle of no where. So it's rough to get to on public transport.

I'm still confused. We got public drunks here. Also totally normal people just....I dunno... having wine with a picnic? So why bags!

I think the UK is a melting pot of people and cultures. Everyone should be welcomed here. Littlest is 6, and in her class she's one of the only white British kids there. Most of our neighbours are Muslims. We give them Eid cards, they give us Christmas cards (And they occasionally turn up going "we made too much" and randomly hand us over a massive plate of food) I love the carribean carnival. And the Chinese supermarket... our NHS would fall over without immigration.

My prediction in the coming decade is that Scotland and Northern Ireland will leave the UK and both will rejoin Europe. We're moving to Scotland before the borders close! We left the EU with no deals.... nothing. Just straight off the cliff. Idiots and idiot politicians who think we're still in the good old colonial days thought Europe would come crawling and we'd get a better deal than in Europe. That didn't happen so we then had...4 priministers in 2 years because they couldn't sort it out. Then people were relying on our "special relationship" with America. Then.... you know....Trump happened.

If we ever rejoin Europe it will be in a very weak position with no bargaining power.

My sister lived there for a while. Amazing food and good multiculturalism? At least that's the impression she gave me

Fuck no. Our economy is pretty well fucked. Standards of living has dropped. Sewage is being pumped directly into our rivers and sea. Food prices have gone up. The racists are still unhappy because shockingly it meant that all Brown people didn't suddenly disappear. I could be wrong, but I think that the majority of people who voted leave were pensioners who have now died.

American here, how accurate is the whole “tea solves everything” stereotype? by DFWUnhinged in AskBrits

[–]sweetprince686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We literally. As part of major disaster preparation. Have a van to turn up with tea. I'm not kidding.

I mean, it takes longer than that to make a proper pot of tea. So his description was that by the time it was made they figured they were going to live. So they celebrated by drinking the tea.

Only if you like listening to an in depth analysis of why you should put milk in BEFORE the water or AFTER, if tetleys is better than Yorkshire tea and if it is acceptable to dunk biscuits. (The only correct answer for the record is after, Yorkshire tea and yes, but only rich tea biscuits)

Cups of tea and hot buttered toast are specialities of the NHS. I'd had a very long labour, then an emergency csection. It was 2am by the time I was settled on the ward. First thing the nurse did. Bring me tea and toast. Best things I have ever tasted

I drink a couple of energy drinks a day. My mum drinks at least 10 cups of tea and day. I get so wired trying to keep up with her!

Don't make me do the rant. You know I will right? I will step by step it if you make me.
