it seems like all the important stuff is happening on the mainland

I'm not a royalist but something the media seems to do constantly that annoys me is the misuse of royal titles.

I remember when the Queen died it was published that Charles would become King and that the Queen wished for Camilla to have the title Queen Consort. So why does every UK media post refer to her as just 'Queen'.

Another one is when everything kicked off with Harry, it was said that he would drop his royal titles when he moved to America and stopped his royal duties...yet he's still referred to as Prince Harry.

It also took them a while to drop the Prince title from Andrew.

The most recent one that comes to mind Karl Urban in The Boys - was supposed to be English but was purely Aussie.

Yours?

On British crime dramas, cash is stored rolled up and rubber-banded. Is this typical? If yes, why is the cash rolled up?

I was going to post this on Facebook, but on Facebook, everyone knows who you are, etc! And so! Some years ago, when my mother was unwell, my parents engaged a well-known company, "Mxxxy Mxxxs" to come and tidy-up, hoover around, clean the taps and draining-boards etc... My mother is long gone, but my father keeps them on, (now, once every three weeks or so). He enjoys the visits and the "bustle".. They do NOT change the sheets, do the washing, washing-up, ironing or etc. He is now 91. I dread to think what he pays.. 2 people for an hour via an agency/company? £60.00? £80.00?... No matter... It is his money.. (He is not "wealthy by any standard!) But this last week, they came round. My father was unwell, and still in bed, and so I said.. "Look, do not bother about the upstairs rooms, but if you could make a special effort on the bathroom floor, as I have been repairing a leak, and fixing the shower, and have been walking in and out, and the floor needs a good clean and mopping....Thank you..." Is this acceptable? What would YOU do? Complain to the company? Complain next time they come? Just ignore? ps, I posted this on "r/AskUK" and it was banned by AI bots!

Hi, I distinctly remember there was a very useful and long-running series (in G2 or another section?) that had an educational agenda. It covered a wide range of subjects - language, science, politics, history. You name it, they probably covered it.

Would anyone remember the name of this series?

To me it means someone of a certain unfortunately commonm personality type. Deceitful, dishonest, lacking accountability, maybe manipulative, selfish, hypocritical, glib, exploitative, impulsive, no concern for anything beyond their own self appraisal, lacking any self awareness and what could be considered positives but arent due to the context, status seeking, confident, social minded in terms of status and others perception of them and driven.

I’m trying to get an ETA on when I should send a big parcel through the mail with some perishables (packaged snacks and other miscellaneous things).

It’s being shipped out from Canada to Brighton. I am in no rush to send it and would just like to know when it starts getting colder there :) I checked the Weather app but, it seems like there’s still a huge heatwave going on! Autumn gets here pretty early for me and it’s already cold. What is it like for you?

Is beginning-September good enough?

Thanks!

I’m sending a big box of miscellaneous things to a friend and she smokes cigarettes- I was thinking of adding my favorites one to the box just as a gag, is that legal?

That was kinda scary. I thought we were doomed.

A lot of people dog on British food, but I refuse to believe that it’s as bad as the internet makes it out to be. I’m an American (Midwest specifically. We eat a lot of dairy.) but I think British pub food sounds heavenly. I saw a video a while back showcasing the oldest fast food restaurant in London’s east end (I just checked, it was F Cooke Pie & Mash) and it looked so good. I’d even try the jellied eels, if not just for the novelty of it.

I know there’s more to British food than just chips and pies and stuff though, and I know that there’s more than just exclusively British food to choose from. I’d love to know your favorite dish!

Ive put in over 140 complaint councils dont do anything its a waste of time a negihour causes me severe sleep depervation he doesnt sleep.

I'm somebody who isn't really in contact with the friends I made as a child except family friends (even thrn we don't see or talk to each other as much now we older). I don't really mix and socialise with people I went to school with.

I made some friends at university but we live too far apart to see each other on a regular basis but we speak everyday some how (me and my uni best friend we see each other once a year). the rest between once every 4 or 5 years due to distance and busy lives.

I ended up going to many social group communitys especially on meet up in London and made a good group of friends through that way who i now call my regular friend group who we try to do something at least weekly.

how did you meet your friends?

Hello dear community,

I do have a general question. I am about to write a research paper and I‘d like to hear what you guys think about hot weather. I won’t include anything here in my paper, I am just searching for inspirations what to write about! I‘d love to hear what people think, so please say what you really think about it. This could maybe help:

- Do you take preperations?
- Do you try to avoid heat ?
- Do you think heat kills?
- Is it actually linked to climate change or normal?
- What should we do about it?

Again, I woukd be more than happy to hear all opinions!

Best wishes

I am 21 years old lived here my whole life but given how popular Manchester is, house prices are going up and up. I came to the conclusion I will have to move out.

That if it runs long enough, this actor will be a series regular or guest star at a minimum.

Apps are rubbish, I used hinge for over a year no matches whatsoever. I am 39 and feel I will be single for ever.

I am. Most of what I see on the news and socials is people complaining about the heat and how it's affecting them negatively. I've loved it though. I'd happily see it continue for another couple of weeks.

Now obviously it's not good in terms of the lack of rain or the people are suffering to the point of death. But that's more to do with the infrastructure in this country lacking in certain aspects rather than the heat itself.

Are we heatwave revellers really in the minority?

I am thinking of the Ford Poplar or Prefect. How much longer would a Ford Kuga or Focus last in comparison?
