What’s a t shirt? Is it like a football shirt? ;-) ;-)
Plus where do I find the sun? It doesn’t shine a lot in Eccles. ;-)

2 incredibly annoying affected ways of speaking have developed in the yoof over the last few years.
They started pronouncing words like thirsty and birthday as tharsty and barthday.
They also started pronouncing their Ts as Ds like bloody yanks do.
All meant that yesterday I heard one of these knobbers say that it was her barthday weekend and she had turned thardy.
Royal Mail thinking that GPS takes priority over an actual address and just leaving parcels behind the bin of some random house and attaching a photo of someone else's front door to their shit app as 'proof of delivery'.
Might just start sending them pictures of a £5 note as 'proof I've paid' for anything.

This is a fantastic way to use them. Over 5,000 animals found so far

Yodel left £400 of Xmas presents I’d ordered for the fam on my doorstep last week.
Genuinely blew my mind they didn’t get pinched.
FFS! Glad it wasn't claimed before you got it. That would have proper screwed the whole thing up for you. Nobody in the delivery chain thinks they're accountable for anything.
Funnily enough, my birthday and my bathday are both only once a year.

I had Royal Mail deliver a signed item (PS5) to my next door neighbour. His Fat Worzel Gummidge looking wife then brought it around and put it outside the door.
Don't understand why someone would take an order in like that. I'd rather it go back to the depot and I can rearrange delivery. Don't take in post that isn't yours if you aren't willing to honour the obligations you incur by doing so.
Delivery drivers are genuinely daft because of GPS.
I've had the door open light on and they just walk straight past as they saunter to the next door neighbour.
Maybe read the label and use common sense.

Been going on for weeks....hurry ends 9th December.
Fells like all this shit started around bonfire night. More American stuff finding it's way over here and the sheep being enticed into it.
Halloween, Black Friday, surprised there's not been a push to somehow attach the UK to Thanksgiving Day!!!!

Why ?
I just saved about $750 on a new fridge and washing machine, I waited a month for the black friday sale on purpose.
Last year I saved big on a new Samsung phone.
That’ll be next - look at how Halloween has taken a grip on the UK - that’s a pile of old shit as well.
We already have a January sale that usually starts December 19th. We will have a summer sale no doubt Spring and Autumn too.
I think the British posters on here are railing against 2 things.
1. We are being Americanised.
2. How does a Black Friday sale spread out to 3 weeks ?
Did the shop/manufacturer inflate the price just to discount it ? They do here even though it's basically illegal to do so.

Can't speak for UK but you can get absolute big reductions here in Oz on the black friday sale.
Noticing that many people in UK are anti anything American, actually Halloween was exported to America from Irish English and Scottish immigrants nineteenth century so it's not a yank import at all.

Trick a treet is. Isn't it ?
Right, but the exported thing was overtly religious, no schoolgirl uniforms then.
TV shows are now mainly American.
Films of course are, especially the ones that re-write history. They love them.
Halloween was celebrated in the UK in the 60's. Your mam bought a turnip/swede ? hollowed it out (and used it for your tea) carved a scary face out, stuck a candle in it and that was your Halloween.
Thanks to the yanks, it's now a multi million dollar business that lasts weeks.
Yes we are getting sick of being Americanised.
Black Friday is part of that americanisation.
Over here you rarely get a good deal in a sale, it's just promoted that you do.
Have I mentioned we are sick of the Yanks ?
