Same here, but no-one offers cash prices except in some small Indy outlets.

Miranda Arnold @mirandaa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Does everyone pay in cash? (UK person here, we have same price no matter how you pay, card usage huge here.)

@themerl.bsky.social Absolute units at auction for our delight.
An article from Antiques Trade Gazette about a high-priced sale (£3000) of a blue and white China oval platter with a HUGE bull - the Durham Ox, bred in 1796.

Fair enough! I should have checked.

We have too! We read them out in order at Christmas, a tradition that makes our kids cringe.

My google maps (London, UK) says “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”

Yes, used to happen at our primary school in the Sixties.

We used to have High Tea as children to differentiate it from 4.00 (cake-oriented) tea at teatime. Served at 6.00, something hot like boiled eggs or cheese on toast. Parents would have dinner later at about 8.00.

Miranda Arnold @mirandaa.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
Yes, our not posh granny always gave us a biscuit and squash at 11.00.

Omg I bought one two months ago because of new radiator/old loo roll holder space issues. Had NO IDEA they were called such a thing. Mind you, bloody useful in our shower room.

My mum worked on those ads! We always had Smash at home, leftover bags from the shoots.

Our tomatoes are the tastiest we’ve ever grown, loving all this sun and heat (as much as I’m hating it)

Miranda Arnold @mirandaa.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
Yes, absolutely.

Miranda Arnold @mirandaa.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
Yes (from UK), GP or GP nurse, only gynae if an issue comes up, I think.

Took my toddler daughter to Whittington for x-ray, poor woman also there for x-ray, handcuffed to prison staff. Grim.

They thought my twins had that in utero, loads of tests, luckily not, just one little baby and one even littler.

Had to clear out parents in law’s house, rooms and rooms of books, old, antiquarian, new, you name it. Was a nightmare tbh, sad.

Miranda Arnold @mirandaa.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Anyway very good. Was it her choice?

Watching game on phone, dodgy Spanish-language YouTube channel, (on account of being in France, no handy sports bar) to find we’re 1-0 down! What the hell!?

If you’re not following this guy on Instagram’s day-by-day account of building a lightweight Phoenician war-elephant outfit centered around his toddler in the command seat so that he can hike over the Alps in it in the footsteps of Hannibal—you should be. www.instagram.com/reel/DaOO7iV...

When I smoked, and went on holiday with non-smoking family, I also had a special bag for bringing their duty-free allowance home for me. Could sometimes bring ten cartons home at once. Smoking practically for free.

When he came to London for his first visit, his massive Chinooks would fly over our garden and then spend time circling over a local park where I walked the dogs. Unbelievably threatening. I stood in garden and shook my fist at him.

My father combined the rebuilding of a house near him with hearing a Russian voice in the village to tell us that the Russians were building an embassy the other side of the estuary.

Just had a video from a friend who lives in Somerset, water gushing madly over the edges of his roof gutters. Huge noise too.

My poor neighbours had to be very tolerant of daughter’s trumpet, and then son’s drums. Thank god they were passing fads.

Ooh we had a cat who’d come for walks too, she would follow us and the dogs for miles. V v sweet.

Put my electric blanket on last night for twenty mins. Never needed to feel cosy in June before.
