omg you’re not from North America. I had no idea. Anyway, yes money is a gift. Though it does rub me the wrong way when people specify what kind of gift they want to be given. And that is most likely a generational thingGoing to a wedding in Essex this summer. They told all guests they just want money. No gifts. Isn’t money a gift? I’m wondering to myself if that’s a good thing that they’re being so direct because it makes it easier or if it’s kind of rude? Maybe it’s a cultural or generational difference. It’s been awhile since I went to a wedding.
At least there will be Eton Mess to look forward to, meeting new people and exploring around the location of the wedding.
I am very much from North America although the opposite coast from you. 😂 I just have deep ties to England and it will be the first time back since before the pandemic. I think it just rubbed me the wrong way with the request because this is only one of many.
OK phew! I thought I was losing my Britdar.
Hopefully the wedding will at least be fun. Will you wear a (funny) hat?

Mostly it comes down to language. Brits also have a sassy attitude but that’s harder to defineeatpolerepeat wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »

works

That’s terrible! Practice more0 -
There’s a job I was thinking of applying for but unfortunately the wife of a man who is starting in my current office works there and it’s a very small, active grapevine.1

You’re hard on yourself.
Your twatdar is clearly working, it identifies me every time I mention Liverpool.

In law drama on the weekend...today someone for our ice show, which is this weekend, didn't like the colour of the skirt she was assigned and decided she was quitting and threw it in the garbage. This is an adult!! I lead the group today, just assigned someone else her spot, rescued the skirt from the garbage, gave it to the person who wanted to trade it to someone so they could get the one they wanted (as an adult would do) and then offered to help out with the kids she was supposed to be helping but I'm sure will now let down.
What's with all the drama lately??!!!!1 -
Grown-ups sure can be childish.

I want to do hood rat things with my friends but I don’t want a hangover. I want to be on a beach somewhere too. Too much other than work and training on my mind. Does that mean I need a vacation?0

I mean, I guess it was fun. But what’s left? So long & thanks for all the fish0

Hopefully it will be really fun. I hadn't even thought about a hat or a fascinator, because I still haven't found a dress. I'll get back to you on that one as it gets closer.
ETA: As far as the Britdar goes, be wary of those Brits that don't support "The Gunners" even if they might blow the season. (I'm joking just in case someone takes that seriously)0 -

No!!! It was red. There was no yellow. Oddly there was a white one. It's going to now be the extra0 -

My vote is YES! Maybe not to the hangover, but definitely to hitting up the beach!
