New UK Thread

I was asked once if I knew what Irish Pimms was. I didn’t, I was told it was a pint of Guinness with a raw potato floating in it 😂😂😂
We always called that "the Irish cocktail".

I am rather partial to a depth charge, which is a pint of Guiness with shot of Baileys dropped in it. You have to drink it quick though
 
I'm not sure we ever completely left. We'll be going back to Pounds, Shillings and Pence next. How much is a Guinea?
Our local butcher (Yes, we still have one) displays prices per pound and per kilo - per pound first, of course :)

A token gesture to the EU. He can stop that now. The several generations of kids that have done this metric thing will have to take the pain we did when it was introduced and convert back again 🤣
 
Hello fellow members from the UK.

Got to follow the generalisation and start by talking about the weather! So…

what lovely weather we are having (if you like it hot!)

Enjoying it or too hot for you?
I’m up north at the moment in Yorkshire and while still very hot yesterday, I’m dreading heading back south tomorrow. So to summarise, no I don’t like this heat 🥵😰🥵
 
Are you Brits going to Imperial measures and weights?
We never actually left them behind ... still using feet and inches, gallons and pints, pounds and ounces

Pretty sure it will be kicked into the long grass again after Boris has been replaced

As above, this announcement was about keeping a certain demigraphic onside and nothing about changing anything.


Anyone under 60 was only taught metric measurements in school.
 
Crustless sandwiches, you'll never grow big and strong if you don't eat your crusts 🤣
I thought it was "you won't get curly hair if you don't eat your crusts"

Possibly a Geordie thing.
Maybe you could quiz the caravan park owner regarding this matter given Pickering is in the North-ish.
 
Yes indeed. Sorry if you got told off by a chat moderation team member.
Lol, no worries. That group is awfully thin skinned to be moderators at a site like this. I have no idea what they are talking about accusing me of attacking them, but I have read lots of accounts that they banned people from chat for simply disagreeing with them (calling it “mod harassment”), so I don’t necessarily trust their perception. I hope you all have fun in your new thread! :)
