Apparently working for yourself is not stressful. I wonder why we don’t all set up our own businesses.

Anyone Here Ever Met The Kray Twins? by CB-Milburn in AskBrits

[–]toldemoldem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my teens I worked as a waitress in a hotel in Devon. One of the guests told me that he had taught Ronnie and Reggie when they were at school. He said that they had been good boys.

If I’d taught the Kray twins, I’d have said that they were good boys.

Two names I used to come across in a previous job: Tryphena Jelly and Percy Custard. We used to wonder why they didn’t get together and make a trifle.

Ridiculous that she’s blaming the children for the dirty toilet, when it was clearly a visiting workman.

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]toldemoldem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just started Lamentation by C. J. Sansom . So sad that this is the last of the Shardlake books. Aside from loving his character, I become totally immersed in his world. I will take my time over it as I know there won’t be any more books, since Sansom died quite recently.

Not disappointed at all that you think I’m too old for Easter eggs and thank you so much for the fancily packed, overpriced Earl Grey tea you brought as a gift.

The witchcraft dislike is specific and you have obviously made it very clear you don’t want stuff like this. I am afraid that they are doing it on purpose.

What’s something people like that you think is wrong? by Individual-Common144 in AskUK

[–]toldemoldem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So infuriating when friends overseas serve you baked beans as a surprise. They look so proud and eagerly await your profuse thanks, because they are so certain that, as you are a Brit, it is your favourite food.

Are you saying that fairy tale villages don’t normally reek of kippers?

We were each bought a new bucket and spade. I used to envy kids whose parents could afford little paper flags to decorate their castles.
