The entitlement of some people. Sat down on a public bench on the Southbank with a drink and to rest my feet, and a woman told me to move as she had 'reserved' the bench for her and her friends. Reader, I did not move. 20 mins later the friends are still not here 🙄
Just booked afternoon tea with a friend at The Savoy in July. Dress code is 'whatever makes you feel comfortable and elegant'. I'm thinking this. Too much?
Just had to chuck my favorite sandals, which were falling apart after a good innings. BUT, I was prepared for this and bought exactly the same sandals last year and stored them away! Please tell I'm not the only one who does this sort of thing? 😂
Bought this at a charity shop in Cambridge a few months ago. Picked it up last night (trying to decide when is the best time to read a 700 page book!) and it appears I have a copy signed by the cast of the West End production, including James Norton and Luke Thompson 😮😍

What a ridiculous woman. It angers me that Holly and Philip are laughing and joking with her about it. It doesn't make me jealous Holly, it makes me angry. People are dying and others are making huge sacrifices and this woman has jetted off on holiday.

exceeded all my expectations. Taron Egerton was born to play Elton John and I loved the on screen friendship with Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin. And the way the songs were woven in to the story was genius!

Just watched this and I am in shock. This man should be in prison for assault. Instead he was fined and allowed to 'retire' from the police force 😡
Just made a hotel booking online and mistakenly selected 'Lord' in the title drop down menu so I'm going to have some explaining to do when I show up 😂😂
@LisforLia
I was actually told by someone on twitter that I WAS condoning murder. All I said was that there are a lot of positive things about London (and having lived here all my life I thought I was entitled to an opinion). Clearly not 🤷♀️
Just booked a little minibreak to Harrogate in Sept. I've never been there and it's been on my list for a while. I'll be visiting Knaresborough too while I'm there 😀
It's not the done thing to talk to strangers on public transport in London, and I'm happy with that, but twice in the past couple of weeks someone has told me how much they loved the book I was reading at the time. I'm very much in favour of that sort of conversation 😊📚

I live in London and even I think that's extortionate. I've never even been charged that for a glass of wine in a West End theatre.

I would've loved to have made the most of the lovely weather during lockdown. However I live in a flat with no outdoor space and at the beginning of the first lockdown we were only allowed outside for an hour a day to exercise and not even allowed to sit down in the park😡
Catching up on tonight's
#CallTheMidwife
and the slideshow has broken me 😭😭 The friendship between Nurse Crane and Miss Higgins is one of the best things on TV ❤️
Allow me to introduce you to the new love of my life. I'm not into designer clothes or shoes but I do love handbags. I've had my eye on this one for a while but it's been completely out of my price range. Imagine my excitement when I saw it in TK Maxx yesterday ❤
@SoVeryBritish
People who put their feet up on the seats on trains, those who put bags on seats when the train is busy, people who listen to music/phonecalls on loudspeaker on public transport.

This is one of the most distressing things I've ever read. We are brought up to believe the police are there to protect us.
I've had a 'challenging' week at work. My son's out tonight so I've bought an M&S curry, mini lemon cheesecake and wine and I'm about to watch one of my favourite romcoms

I love starting a new notebook (yes I am old school and I like to write notes in meetings). Just look at this beauty I bought at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton a few months ago. The print is the Chinese wallpaper in Queen Victoria's bedroom 😍
So apparently Graziano kicked and hit Zara and verbally abused her too. Some people are still saying it was all part of the training regime. Wow, I don't know where they work but I would be fired if I assaulted someone

The final chapter, talking about how we can all learn from the community/collective action of the past in light of the current pandemic, was so poignant
@StephenMcGann
I'm going to my sister's house for Easter Sunday. I've bought eggs for my niece and nephew, but my sister is a bookworm like me, so I've bought her a copy of this wonderful book

@imshanereaction
At my dad's wake my niece (she was about 3 at the time) said she loved that her grandad had 'drawers to keep his stuff in'. It was actually the handles on the side of his coffin!
Is anyone else like me and still says thanks to the supermarket staff as you leave, even though you've scanned, bagged and paid for your shopping with no human interaction at all? 😂😂

@mominmedicine
Couldn't agree more. I used to get called skinny as a child and young adult (I ate well but was naturally slim). People didn't seem to think it was rude but it was.

I live in the UK and I don't need to have a gun to protect myself, my family or my property as I know other people don't have guns either. There are exceptions of course (illegal guns) but it's very rare. I sent my son to school and uni without worrying he would be shot.
I chose Cambridge for a mini break because of its history. Discovering my Airbnb is so close to about 10 charity shops was an added bonus. I've only been in 3 so far 😂
My son and his girlfriend may have been worse for wear when they got in last night, but they did bring me this. I was disappointed there were none left in Morrisons the other day so they got me one in Waitrose. Its not Christmas without a poinsettia 😍
Just found Katherine Parr for 50p in a charity shop. Apart from the first book, the rest are all second hand. I just need to find Anne Boleyn! Then I need to read them all 😂
@katyguest36912
I love this. They are a great company. My handbag strap snapped once when I was in the supermarket and the guy in the in-store Timpson repaired it and wouldn't take any money for it.
I just love this time of year when my family start arguing about what everyone is doing at Christmas. It was so much easier when it was cancelled last year 😬
I was in Greenwich yesterday and stopped to watch a busker. An hour later I felt like I'd been to one of the best concerts of my life. Opera, musical theatre, Disney songs, absolutely brilliant. Her name is Kirsty McLean. O Mio Babbino Caro was stunning 👏👏👏👏👏
Today's charity shop buy. £20, the most I've spent on a charity shop item, but I'm so chuffed as it's Laura Ashley, real leather, and in perfect condition as it's never been used 😍😍

I am also cautious when I am out for my walks but it is getting more difficult to avoid people who are acting as if everything is back to normal.
@joetracini
I lost a good friend to suicide this year. I wish she had been able to talk to someone, anyone, about how she was feeling. Keep talking Joe and ignore the Barrys of this world ❤️
Just been asked my age when buying alcohol in the supermarket. I'm 49. To be fair I was wearing a mask and a woolly hat so all they could see were my eyes but I'll still take that as a win!
@AndrewOathy
@LKTranslator
Completely agree. I've only been in Wetherspoons twice in the past couple of years but the staff were lovely and deserve better. I have no sympathy for Tim himself.
@jessfaith
@EmmaKennedy
Can we also have Richard Ayoade and either Dame Judi Dench or Dame Maggie Smith please? Also if one could be voiced by Danny Dyer that would be great!
Just spent a lovely morning reading, drinking tea and listening to the birds. I should have known it would just be a matter of time before one of the neighbours ruined it with their loud music. Why are some people so selfish?
'A couple of chapters before bed' turned into 10 chapters as I couldn't put this down
@cjtudor
I'd stay up all night to finish if I didn't have work in the morning!
