I think her "ignore list" is now big enough to live in.

Salad everywhere!

I do hope so as she was buying her flight tickets last Friday so she must have a firm leaving date now.

I am so pleased to read that I am not the only one that does this.

I have many pairs of cheap NZS $2 spectacles stashed all over the place. I think the world would stop if these cheap glasses were not available.

As an aside , here in our village in New Zealand we sometimes have a round up of these cheap glasses which have gone a bit wonky maybe and send them to the Pacific Isles where they are completely unavailable & good spectacles are simply out of reach due to cost.

Oh dear.

Wading in here as current online Supermod.

Not sharing the same sense of humour as someone else does not make that other person ignorant , rude or lacking in 'class'.
(I actually don't understand the use of the word 'class' in this context unless it is to insult by suggesting inferiority / superiority.)

There is nothing to moderate . No rules have been broken. You simply misunderstood the observation that in one post you were agreeing with Happyglow that not fretting about everyday possessions was a way to go and then in the very next post you comment on the costs about every possessions - if you get my meaning. An oxymoron .

Y'know . I think repatriation is probably a far harder move to make than the act of emigrating in the first place. When one has lived away from the home country for a while then one is bound to have changed as a person. I wonder about this in myself and I have only been gone from the UK for ten years.

Some of what seems to be causing you upset with other posters appears to be that you are missing very British use of language cues & I am not just referring to humour and irony.

Nothing at all wrong with being earnest about everything but many of us are just not like that. It doesn't mean we are rough, rude, ignorant, un-educated. It's our very British way .

I am rather hoping that you will not be tempted to call someone/anyone 'ignorant' or 'lacking class' to their face once in the UK. You may well find yourself in a whole pile of poo.

Onward ho then. On the whole I believe the UK to be quite reasonably priced for consumer goods. There again I live in New Zealand which ain't at all cheap.

Me neither, but clearly it's a "thing". Look, you can get badges for it:

or how about a dog shirt?
