Had to go grab some bird feeder bits and stumbled across these and it got me thinking, what are the other iconic 80's / 90's drinks and snacks that you remember from then?

I thought that this was interesting. What do you do if you wake up with a Banksy on your wall?

Easily the biggest beer garden I’ve ever been in. Even their chairs are massive.

Unexpected reaction to celebrities in your workplace?

707 Upvotes

I'm in hospitality and it's always been my thing to just be as normal as I can be - not because I've been instructed to or anything but because I feel like someone coming out to eat at a nice country pub with their family and friends just... wants to eat at the nice country pub with their family and friends, not be bothered.

I've served some awesome British celebs and held it together. Friday night though I was absolutely floored.

In he came, with family and/or friends. I showed them to their table and I caught his eye. I just knew it was him. Stuttering, I turned away to ask one of his companions if they would like "Still, Sparkling or Tap Water". With the answer, I retreated, muttering that I would send their server over shortly to take a drinks order.

I couldn't possibly take an order from this man. There would be only one response to whatever he asked for.

"Ahhch, [drink] SUITS YOU SIR! Ahhch" - I simply wouldn't have been able to hold it back.

Of course I'm 40, so when I whispered to our (young) team that we had a comedy genius in our midst I said "you know, Mark Williams... The Fast Show?... " NOTHING.

Then: "...Ok, Arthur Weasley!!" OFC the bar team THEN all found reasons to "collect glasses" to have a glance. Amateurs.

I did have one further interaction with the table, in which I offered some crayons for the small child there. MW asked for some too. Our eyes met once again and my world imploded.

I had to ask a colleague to take the crayons over. I would have yelled "TARAMASALATA!!" at him.

Which was nice (credit to u/jammiedodgerdodger)

I'm rewatching Fleabag, in your opinion what is your primarily UK based series that has as much humour as it does grounded melancholy?

Is this a normal thing? Partner swears by it because "my mother did it". Are there any other rituals? Maybe I've just lived a sheltered life...

This is an old (100 year old) jam thermometer that belonged to my GF's great grandmother. We're curious about what "TRANSP.I" might refer to. Any ideas?

Mixed biscuits

Last night I dreamed I opened a normal looking pack of round biscuits but they were all half biscuits and all different varieties like digestive, rich tea, hobnob, Nice (but round), chocolate covered etc. I think I might be onto something! For me a big tin of biscuit selection is too much, perhaps a packet is a good thing 🤷‍♀️ (also please tell me this exists)

Where is the most peaceful place in the UK?

I’m thinking of minimal disturbance other than listening to nature. A snowy day in my Somerset village comes close. Old people don’t like the cold.

The government has funded the development of an interactive map of individual trees in urban and rural settings outside of major woodlands. It is uses data from LIDAR, Sentinel-2 satellites and is made with Maths. It's available online and as a download. Is your tree on the map (link in comments)?

For those interested, I went back and purchased the Surrey School Cookbook. Index pictured below, happy to post any recipe requests in the comments.

Honestly wasn’t expecting to see it still in the charity shop, but there it was. It’s such a good little book; no faff or fuss, written in plain prose so concise you’d think they were typed under threat of a rolling pin.

Is this a countrywide campaign or is this just a local pub doing their own thing?
