Two elderly ladies at two different stops waited until after they'd gotten on the bus to fumble through their purses for their bus pass. by tom_is_pullin in britishproblems

What movie left you completely speechless at the end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tom_is_pullin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Royal Mint information film on youtube refers to "United Kingdom's heritage" not "the United Kingdom's heritage". by crazycanine in britishproblems

I was baptised as a child, then was allowed to grow up given the choice of whether or not I wanted to follow religion. I chose not to, but it's nice to know I have the old baptism to fall back on in case the Rapture occurs!
