The attraction with lip fillers!
Honestly. I've seen many young ladies and say to myself 'why did you do this to your lovely face?'

This Tory government. Full of liars, cheats and thieves

Amen.

Also barbecues. Never anywhere to sit and you're left standing around juggling plate/glass/cutlery - and risking food poisoning, in some cases. So overrated.

The only thing worse than a barbecue is a BEACH barbecue 😭

Le Chameau all the way.

Aigle for me. Can't afford Camels!

Hunters were good years ago when they were made here but they outsourced to china and now they're awful.

LuluBlakey1 · 20/03/2024 19:56

Most clothing brands are badly designed landfill and look like utterly cheap, common, tat on almost everyone.

Yes! My hunters split within 2 months so I got a full refund. Planning to buy le chameau for next winter.

My wife bought me some for Christmas. I never wanted to fork out for such things, but they are very comfortable.

I had these for the first time a few months ago, they were nice but nothing special, just tasted like little burgers.

The cheesecake was lovely though

Hot Chocolate in cafes. Always crap, especially if half filled with marshmallows. Made the mistake of going to Starbucks. The coffee is ganky & is a fiver a go. So I ordered Hot Chocolate. With cream on top. Half the cup was swirly cream. On top of lukewarm sugar water. For four quid. Never again!
