We went to England for a few days from Scotland. My mind was blown to find out that you can buy alcohol 24/7 in England.

So as per my title what have you just found out

That the arrow in the Amazon logo swipes 'from "A" to "Z" ', indicating their wide range of goods...

I am 51.

@QuinoaWest I will share your 😳 I never knew that about the Amazon sign and I use them more frequently than I should. I just thought it was a random flick put on as a logo.

It's true everyday is a school day 😁

Went to Scotland last year from England and couldn't understand why the shops were still open on a Sunday after 4pm.
It blew my mind I was in Primark in Edinburgh at 4:20pm..

I have a Peugeot (had them last three cars so over ten years) and would get annoyed if I left the window open- would have to get in, turn on the engine to shut the windows....except I don't! A friend who just borrowed one off another friend said just keep the lock on the fob pressed when you lock the car and it shuts all the windows!! Mind totally blown.

Didn't know that, now that I've googled the image it's obvious.

Not me but my BIL didn't know that there was a spike in the lid of tubes like tomato purée to pierce it open. He's been using a knife for years! He's in his 60s Grin

That's the case for most cars, works in reverse too.

Hold the open button as you walk towards your car and it opens all the windows, particularly useful during hot weather!

I knew that Skegness was in Lincolnshire,not Scotland. But a surprising number of people haven't even heard of it,let alone know where it is. When I went there on holiday a few years ago,quite a few people looked puzzled when I told them where I was going. Apparently they'd never heard of it!
