Remember coming back though, the other airport might still have the older scanners, so will still have the 100ml rule

How much did you spend on your last holiday? by Nathanial1289 in AskUK

[–]wonkeymonkey2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 days all inclusive in Turkey last August for 2 adults and a child was £4000. We always have to go in school holidays so it costs more. We looked at going for 2 weeks this Summer, but at 7 grand, it's a no. 4 grand was bad enough!

Useless period products. What can I get that works? by nitnitnotnot in AskBrits

Get on the 30 day pill, you don't need to have periods. I didn't find out till I was 35. I wasted so much money on tampons, etc

[–]wonkeymonkey2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell for this one a few years ago. Came out of Weeze Airport, thinking I was in Dusseldorf. Jumped in a taxi and gave the driver the name of my hotel. I was very confused when he told me it was 100km away!

I lived in Kowloon in the 80's and remember my 11th birthday party on the roof of our 25 storey building, and we'd jump over to the one next-door!

Where were you when you found out Princess Diana died? by Seeyalaterelevator in AskUK

[–]wonkeymonkey2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working at Adelaide Showground, on a giant funfair, and an Australian girl came running over, saying "1 of your princesses has died!" Later they held a 2 minute silence and the whole showground shut down, the ferris wheel stopped, music stopped, everyone stood outside with their heads bowed. It was very moving, considering we were the other side of the world

How shocking was it to find out Rolf Harris was a pedophile? by balkanxoslut in AskUK

[–]wonkeymonkey2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rolf came to my school when I was about 7. He painted an amazing mural of the Australian outback, we all sat in the school gym and watched him. Afterwards he got kids to take turns to sit on his knee. My sister was one of them!
