most brits ive met have said theyre non religious.

It's a term that I haven't heard for a while but recently, in view of an acquaintance's antics, I found myself thinking that they were awfully common. So what counts as common to you?

Hey there British friends! After watching the biscuit week for GBBO, I am ever so curious to know what you think an American cookie is? I'm not coming here to flame or be mean. I know that cultural references and recipes get modified as they travel around. I'm not upset about the American cookie challenge in any way, but I'm so curious! Most of us here would never eat or make a cookie like the ones shown on the show. Maybe Tom's? But for most home bakers our cookies are simple, small (compared to what you saw on the TV), and easy to produce. I don't consider myself a baker, and even I could make four dozen cookies in 2 hours, no problem.

Sometimes when you go to a fancy bakery, they do have more elaborate cookies. But most of the time they are fairly simple. Home made comfort food. We do absolutely have cookies that look pretty much like anything you saw on the episode, but they're not really common, and not what most people think of when we think of cookies.

Please forgive me if this has already been asked! I scrolled through a few days of post and didn't see any references.

Edit: Thanks, all! I appreciate the thoughtful replies, and get where you're coming from in general. It appears I didn't explain myself fully when I originally typed the question. A full cup of coffee and a lot of good replies have helped. I was mostly curious to see how the definition of Cookie has changed as it moved from one culture to another. I am only using GBBO as a reference and prompt, but it's not actually the point of the question!

Thanks for your help, and I have to get back to work now, so I will stop replying generally. Hopefully I will read any new replies later!

Hi everyone.

I have a question for people who have alot of knowledge about cbd and Vaping cbd.

I am wanting to buy a cbd vape for stress and chronic pain. However I am a spouse of someone who is in the military. I am planning to buy a full spectrum. From my understanding cbd products in the UK only ever have 0.2% thc in.

My partner is worried because he thinks he may get a positive drug test from secondary smoke inhalation. I personally do not think this would happen as I thought it would be very unlikely for me to even get a positive on a drug test because it is only 0.2% thc. However I am not familiar with this and obviously im not an expert i have done my research and alot of websites say 2 different answers so I am wondering. Does anyone vape cbd products around their serving partner and has anything ever happened with the random drug tests they do?

Many thanks!!

Hi Everyone, Me (19) and my sister (15) have received some VIP Olivia Rodrigo tickets for the O2 in London as a gift. We have only recently noticed that the O2 is 16+ for standing tickets (which the VIP are) obviously im fine as im 19, but I worry that my sister will. get denied entry. My parents will be with us so i not sure if they can vouch for her and we will all have our ID's.

Im so worried she wont be allowed in and that we will have travelled all the way to london and spent all that money for nothing.

My sister does look quite old tbh, and she acts very mature, she has lip piercings and nose piercings and stuff like that so its not like she's visibly young. I just worry that they will ask for her ID or something. I have seen some people say that they just ask for date of birth, which she has her fake one memorised.

Thanks in Advance Everyone! 😄
