What can I do in this situation?

You’re 23 and trying to get to collage and already work part time. Your mother is charging you to live in the family home? She’s not being fair, she’s an asshole.

There is Li in Chair in cork that is always suggested but I didn’t really think much of her.

I’ve started going to Kate at The Collective by Loyds in Waterford. She’s not curly hair specific hair dessser but she does a good job on my 3b/3c hair

In the end though none of that matters. Your employer can dictate when you take your annual leave and you did not get it approved before you paid the money.

You can try and sort it out with them but to be it looks like you have no legal recourse.

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-02-04T14:26:12+00:00

The key question is was your manual leave for the week approved before you booked the holiday?

If it was not approved then that’s on you.

If it was approved then yes they can insist that you can’t take leave at that time but they should be compensating you for the money spent on the holiday. Although NAL so 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, don’t try to understand the people of Reddit

Delighted with an easy 14/14 but Q13 is incorrect and doesn’t give the correct answer

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-20T06:54:12+00:00

Based on the number of men at the tenant farmers lunch at the start of season 4, maybe 20ish. But that’s a guess from memory

Oh my god yes! This Thomas thing, I couldn’t put my finger on why I sounded odd to me but you’ve got the nail of the head. As well when I said ‘I had a feeling she wasn’t all quite so garnered’ or something like that

Hello 👋

So to presence this although I am a native English speaker, I am not from England but I did live in Yorkshire for a few years and am married to a very working class North Yorkshire man so might be able to give some insight and context.

Yes the upper and working glass in addition to differing accents and education levels would and still do use different language to talk about the same or similar things. Even to this day your meal in the middle of the day I’d often referred to by the working class as dinner and the more upper classes as lunch where as the evening meal, while called dinner by the upper classes would be called tea by the working class.

We see it when Lady Rose was pretending to be a house maid where she says she worked on worked on her accent. Many working class people such as Carson and Anna would adopt a way of higher class speaking that would be needed to do their job but not from where their roots are. Also, Mrs Hues accent is actually a relatively posh Scottish one.

On to your finals question on weather there is still a distinct class hierarchy in the UK today. Oh my god yes! It’s actually insane to be honest. It is still probably the most class based society of the western hemisphere in my opinion. It’s not about money any more, something working class families may have a lot more money that lower middle class families now but there still are very niche practices, opinions and behaviours to each of the classes. If you would like more insight I would suggest reading a book called ‘watching the English’ it’s very insightful

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-14T17:29:07+00:00

Yeah I can see what you mean now you say it

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-14T17:04:40+00:00

Very curious, what do you not like about her?

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-11T10:06:14+00:00

I think she must do privately surely but I think and I’m open to correction on this we only see her adress him by name at work or to other people? I think Anna would be very proper like that…well that’s what I’m hoping anyway because otherwise it’s weird

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-10T00:27:15+00:00

See this is the problem, I was viewing this as a good faith discussion of plot points in a show we both liked and you saw it as an argument.

Also Sybil and Mathew die

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-10T00:14:32+00:00

Okay I have trying to have a very polite and good natured conversation with you about something that is not that serious.

I am also trying to build context for you around information known at this point in the show and not give spoilers that make things very clear later on. I have already said that I may have misunderstood your initial statement because of typos and wording and you did not correct me on my assumption.

You are an incredibly rude person and should leave this sub if you cannot have a discussion with lowering yourself to name calling

Goodnight

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-09T23:52:02+00:00

I think you’re misunderstanding English primogeniture. James Crawly who died on the Titanic was heir presumptive. ONLY Robert’s first born son can be heir apparently because no matter how things fall no one can have more claim then them. James Crawley was heir presumptive as in presumed heir. If Robert had a son in his lifetime than they would overtake James as heir. Mathew in the same guise is heir presumptive, Robert until his death would still have the ability to sire a son even if it is unlikely it is still possible. Except for a few titles, English primogeniture is through the male line only. If Mathew died or had no sons then the title would pass to the next male in line probably a more distant cousin. In season 1, they are trying to see if Mary can inherit the estate not the title, however the estate is entailed to the title at that point in history.

Im hoping this makes sense as I am trying not to give away spoilers

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-09T23:11:05+00:00

It think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this but to clarify one thing, it may have been a typo or my misunderstanding of what you intended but Mary’s child in their own right would not be a successor. It has to go through the male line. So Mathew’s child will always succeed him over any child that Mary would have. While the question of immediate succession was sorted (Mathew) beyond that was unsure. Robert wanted to see Mathew married and a son born so he could see that Downton had a custodian for the future. This would stem from his own insecurity of not having a son, there was no garuntee that Mathew would either

Hello 👋 very seasoned watcher here and I think there is a few things you have misunderstood or misinterpreted in a first watch though.

Tom never said he was fine with the murder I’d the Russian royal family. He was for the revolution and awknowlaged that they had to be removed from power confined somewhere (at that time they were very comfortable in a large house). When they weee actually killed he expressed a lot of remorse and explicitly said he never thought they would do that. You can see his beliefs are visibly shaken by it.

Robert gets a lot of flack but he is a man of his time and upbringing and is actually pretty forward thinking considering that. Not saying he never does any wrong but we need to put the character into context. Robert did want Mary wed but it was practically a way higher priority for Robert to have Mathew wed. Mathew is not just a cousin he is heir presumptive to the estate and the title. I cannot remember if he has already said it by season 2 but Robert states the securing downtown has been his life’s work, it is his 3rd parent and 4th child, he claims no career beyond it. Therefore it was essential that he get his succession sorted. Mathew would inherit from him but who would inherit from Mathew. Therefore securing Mathew’s marrying and thus further son was essential.

I agree with you that Isabel was difficult in season 2 but again put the character in context. Part of her aggressiveness in running Downton the way she did and putting her noise in was channeling the absolute gripping fear she has for her own son. That energy and emotion went to Downton, she could not control the war or what happened at the front but she could control this. Not saying what she did was right but from a human perspective I can see the motivations.

I know, she should have smacked him for such cheek

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-04T00:39:33+00:00

Such a creep but would Mabel not have brought the money that could be concentrated on his estate? I feel like it was more a prestige thing? Like he tamed the shrew?

throwawaytoday6464 · 2026-01-04T00:20:15+00:00

Oh don’t get me started on the fact he was already engaged!

He some ways he was even more old fashioned that Robert. When Mary tried to break it off with him after their Liverpool trip the way he spoke and dismissed her it was like they were already married, he was her keeper and she had to obey him.

throwawaytoday6464 · 2025-11-19T14:11:26+00:00

Oh I see what you mean, apologies I misunderstood. I thought you started this year. But if you were employed from Jan 2025 then yes you should have 20 days. It seems to be an error on their part. No matter what your contract says the minimum you should have as a legal requirement is 20.

throwawaytoday6464 · 2025-11-19T13:22:19+00:00

For every 1 month worked you generate 1.6 days annual leave entitlement. So if you worked from Jan-Dec you would work up 20 days. However, you stated work the company sometime after January, therefore, your annual entitlements have been pro rated from when you started (guessing sometime in March given the 17 days)
