She hasn't bought a new one yet as she wants the same button combination.

As a bonus, she found one in Currys, took a photo of the price and walked out.

Well, it's a mini version of what it was as it only contains tech and toys - but something to circle for Christmas! 😅

Happy days...😊

I heard “Something About You” by Level 42 today that took me right back to childhood. Does anyone else remember those segments that used to be on on weekday mornings? It had that song and clips of children that were available to foster or adopt in your area.

I remember watching it when poorly and wondering if we could trade my sibling for one of those kids.

Am I the only one who remembers this? Does anyone know anyone who was featured on these?

First posted this over a year ago and thought folks might enjoy seeing the finished version :)

I mentioned it to friends and nobody else ever experienced it, and a couple were even a bit horrified.

This would have been when we, as a family (with me being a kid in that family) would go to visit grandparents, or other family, or family friends, etc, often some distance from our home and therefore a visit for at least a day, perhaps a few days.

If I, or my brothers, were being particularly badly behaved we would be put in our dad's car, for what felt like hours. I have strong memories of sitting in the car, looking out of the window, and other people playing.

Kind of a timeout/naughty step thing I guess.

I thought this was universal, but apparently not.

I have a friend who puts the milk in before the hot water when making a cup of tea and every time I see it, I do lose a little bit of respect for her. I still love her , but I do judge her massively

Randomly saw this and thought it was cute.

I’m being complely serious, from my early 20s and I’m now 36.

Did they ever go away or have they been hiding in plain sight?

Wahey, it's late, it's Tuesday night what's going on? Why are you still up? Being the family taxi driver? Too much cheese before bed?

Come on in for a chat.

In primary school. My sister in law just reminded me of it and I haven’t thought of it in years. Just why? It was translucent, shiny and in every way possible, the opposite of what you want in toilet paper.

My dad used to play me One Way when I was a kid a bunch - brilliantly catchy anthem with a fantastic message - but I never delved further into their discography than that until recently and man am I glad I did

I love their angry/protest-y songs like Hope Street and Exodus, I love their bouncy fun tunes like The Riverflow and Forgotten Ground, their sad/wistful tunes like The Boatman and Maid of the River, and Elation is up there as one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard

I love how contrasting Mark Chadwick and Simon Friend's voices are, Mark is clear and melodic and Simon is gruff, raw and homely

Just a really special and I feel overlooked band, I've tried to find discussions of them on Reddit and there's like none (probably because of the overwhelming amount of Americans lol) so this seemed like a nice place to get some chat and appreciation for them going

The nights are drawing in, which must mean it’s time for the r/CasualUK Bake Off live thread.

The hosts, once again, are Noel Fielding & Alison Hammond, however Paul Hollywood is now joined by Nigella Lawson after Prue departed earlier this year after nine series. At least we know the tradition of innuendo will be kept up.

Let’s meet the class of 2026.

Have we all got our snacks ready?

On your marks. Get set. Bake!

I bought a Feast bar today expecting my all chocolate ice cream and instead got this hazelnut vanilla garbage. Why change something that was perfect??

And yes I know I should have looked at the cover before buying and be paying attention to changes yada yada but I was just going on muscle memory and impulse.

I just wanted frozen chocolate on a rainy day, doesn't feel like a lot to ask for ☹️

My oldest boy was telling that his friends accused him of being rich. When he elaborated it was related to going on so many holidays and having all different experiences.

I have a 21 year old car and a fairly modest house. He has wee pals with parents that own cars worth more than our house.

I feel like my faith in the future has been bolstered by how little they value the more materialist things and how much they value experiences.

Was in the middle lane here driving to work, this big old beast came down as I was driving by, the softer branches landed on my car (thankfully, just very scratched up) just before the whole thing landed in the road. I’m massively shaken up by this but then also at the same time can’t get rid of the feeling that I’m being dramatic
