@ronsterd89 Encouraged not forced. Manners are hugely important

In your opinion, should children be forced to say "thank you" and "please"? 🤔

@elgranbro Youre hosting the party. Its not on guests to pay for their plate!

Mi boda en cifras: 105 invitados y un menú de 120€ por cabeza. Solo en el banquete me gasté 12.600€. Mi pareja y yo lo hicimos con toda la ilusión, pero al abrir los sobres la realidad nos ha dado un bofetón. Solo 38 personas cubrieron su plato. 67 personas vinieron, comieron, bebieron y se fueron dejando el sobre vacío o con una cantidad ridícula. He pagado más de 8.000€ de mi bolsillo para invitar a cenar a gente que, por lo visto, solo venía por el buffet libre. Se me cae la cara de vergüenza al pensar que mientras yo brindaba con ellos, me estaban dejando un agujero económico de 120€ por barba. Y eso sin sumar fotógrafo, flores o vestidos, que eso sabíamos que corría por nuestra cuenta La pregunta es clara: ¿Tengo que asumir que he perdido 8.000€ por "amistad" o tengo derecho a mandar un mensaje y pedir que, al menos, cubran lo que se han comido? Nota: Esta historia no es mía. Es un testimonio anónimo que me ha llegado de un recién casado que está a punto de mandar a la mierda a más de la mitad de su lista de invitados. Una noche de fiesta, años de deuda. ¿Qué opináis?

@Jingerella66 I use pharmacy2U. I pay nothing for delivery. I gave a prepayment certificate

I think my 91 year old mother has just been conned out of £55 by Boots. She went in to enquire about Boots Pharmacy dealing with her prescription straight from the doctor's surgery, as someone in Morrisons (who deal with her prescriptions since the drs changed pharmacy) told her Morrisons don't deliver. Apparently, Morrisons can deliver prescriptions for everyone at my mother's assisted living complex, but not her. There is something wrong here. A member of Boot's staff told her they don't deliver NHS prescriptions for free, and made her pay £55 for an' annual pass'. This is nonsense. She's elderly and vulnerable. I will be on their tail tomorrow. A full refund had better be forthcoming pronto.

@Emma_h_mua @the_mantress @RazerWithAKnee Its unliveable isn't it!

@FeeJonesChurch @the_mantress @RazerWithAKnee Oh god look at that! That's where they're expecting young people to live? 😭🤦‍♀️ Says it all really. What a dump!

We do know you idiot! When we got married I had job i didn't like. I lived in an area I didn't like. I had a house i didn't like. So I did something about it. Went into business. Made some money. Bought a new house in a better place. It's called hard work and using your head!

@ruud1boy @the_mantress @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee If this is all people can afford where is the money to do the work coming from? Or the time to do the work? Or for somewhete to live while work id done. Theres probably about £60k work to be done there

@FeeJonesChurch @the_mantress @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Which is part of the reason it's cheap!!!! Spend a bit of money & it's worth £60k. That's how moving up the pity ladder works.

@doingalrighty @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee You assume everyone plans to have a child

@FeeJonesChurch @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Maybe stop putting the cart before the horse?

@TonyBenn33 @Top_Cat80 @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Older generations didnt have hefty stamp duty when working their way up the property ladder.

@FeeJonesChurch @Top_Cat80 @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee You think the older generations bought their dream house off the bat? No, they bought what they could afford, the problem is that nowadays, people want their dream house or nothing. That's where the problem is.

@Top_Cat80 @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Okay - now consider daily expenses - cost of getting to work, food, children, rent, bills to live in a very cheap house which clearly needs work based on the low market price

@FeeJonesChurch @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee A years income for a couple both earning the national average salary. So twice, nowhere near 9 times is it? This false narrative of unaffordable housing is actually an unaffordable level of self entitlement and expectation. It’s called the property ladder for a reason

@doingalrighty @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Because first time buyers arent able to buy until theyre fully fledged families with children. Unlike parents and grandparents that bought when they got married

@Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee There's an explanation for that Emma. Last year 115k houses were built in the UK. 85k of those were 3 bed or bigger. This is because developers are responding to the demand from first time buyers for bigger houses rather than work up. It's a self inflicted injury.

@the_mantress @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Yes and this property needs significant work. Which wont be cheap. By the state it will need top to bottom rewiring, kitchen, bathroom, windows and likely roof.

@Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee Ok, who's only earning £2,800/year?

@Top_Cat80 @Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee A years income for who? This is more than twice the national average salary. Theres a reason the price is so low

@Emma_h_mua @RazerWithAKnee There’s a modest 2 bed terrace for sale in the street I grew up in. £75,000. That’s a years income. Anyone looking for a house that’s 9 times their wage needs to lower their expectations

@KeruboSk Yeah - and older

Does anyone here have something in their house that’s over 20 years old?

@Matt_Pinner Trigeminal neuralgia - known as suicide pain

Name a pain stronger than a toothache (except childbirth)

@ThrillaRilla369 It actually lead to my diagnosis of not 1 but 2 health conditions which made it near impossible to lose weight through diet and excersizes alone. Plus injuries exacerbated by the weight I was carrying limited me

Ozempic proved that the "body positive" people wanted to be in shape all along, they just weren't willing to work for it.

@BalogunSonia4 Yes if theyve not said it and theyve been rude

Do you think children should be forced to say "please" and "thank you"?

@THemingford @andym5588 £23 an hour is very well paid. Im a manager whats considered a middle class wage and earn less than £23 per hour

@andym5588 £23 per hour isn't well paid.

£12.71. What a joke. Needs to be £23 per hour minimum. Absolute minimum.

@xenopoesis3 @overlook61 I never said it was. I was just stating a fact. There is a huge amount of tax avoidance is huge and needs cracked down on.

@FeeJonesChurch @overlook61 But the problem is benefit claimants and not billionaires. Gotcha

@AndyP051025 @ExtremeFootbal4 Still home to the mighty blues. The women own it now

What football stadium is this???

@ExtremeFootbal4 Goodison Park

@Nithya_Shrii Who gets to retire at 55!? Age of retirement has just increased to 67! At this rate i wont be able to retire at all

Retirement at 55 has never made sense to me. People should be able to retire around 40-45 and still have enough life left to enjoy it.
