50 Examples Of British Humor At Its Finest, Shared By This Facebook Page

I would love to have a voice recording of my late husband. 9/2004. R.I.P. 💗

This is an extremely sweet thing. Compassion is so rare these days. Well, anyway, mind the gap.

It's been a long time ago that I was last in London, but the 'mind the gap' message is still clear in my mind.

But it's not the same to hear him alone, at home, from a cd, and, there, only saying "mind the gap", than being at the station and knowing everybody else is using it.

How did all those onions get out of the fridge?

I like to say it a very cheerful voice, which makes the imploite recipient adopt a confused look as if they are wondering, "wait, did I say thank you?"

Depends if the sex is worth thanking you for.

Do it if it makes you feel better

Ha ha, I like that one!

If I enjoy reading something and/or imagining it, I upvote. Judging it is separate.

Hash-slinging Slasher?

Or do a dutch oven.

They don't math well... sorry, would it be: They don't "maths" well?

Terran, on behalf of old people: We do get it. The match is pretty simple. I believe that this done to divert people's attention from who really is responsible for the current economic situation.

And revel in the fact that you can have coffee every day. I have a food sensitivity, and cannot.

Hey , lay off us older people. There are idiots in all age groups.

That being said this some of money is not insubstantial and would actually be a great deal more if invested with a decent compound interest rate. Having a good amount saved up can easily be the difference between something being a minor inconvenience and a complete life destroying experience.

It's baffling that younger people don't get that the £1825/year adds up to over £250,000 in 40 years with modest (historically) return rates and adjusted for inflation (at historic rates). So, a quarter million in today's money. It sure would make your life better then.

With interest, $18,250 over 10 years is probably closer to $30,000. And with mortgage insurance, you can by a $1,000,000 home with $30,000. (Mortgage insurance exists in London, but pound money signs don't exist on my keyboard.) Part of what has driven the insane escalation in home prices is the collapse of interest rates, which were over 10% between 1974 and 1990, but averaged 3 to 4 percent between 2011 and 2021. A low interest rate means, of course, that your monthly payments are lower, despite the high principal payment.

I work with a 30 year old who has owned his own house for 4 years. He works hard and doesn't complain. You guys might try that.

Yup 👍. Here in the US this could even be enough to buy a house out right provided you moved to a low income state in the middle of nowhere with little to no amenities accessable with out a three hour drive. As a retirement plan it's not bad as far as I'm concerned but I currently I need a well paying job to survive.

I was just thinking that myself...us peasants can only do 2 at a time.

Amazon and suchlike. I used to have one. They make awesome grilled cheese, elephant ears, other pastries, pizza pockets. Oh, now I'm hungry. I need to buy a new one.

I have one of these and I’ve always known it to be a “sandwich maker”. I’m in Canada. It wasn’t until I watched MasterChef Australia and notice the Aussies call them toasties. A much better name in my opinion!
