Actually (as a doctor) it is kind of important that *everyone* knows that it could happen to them. I've seen quite a cavalier attitude towards distancing from some younger people because - in their own words - they don't think COVID can really harm them. This obviously increases the…
There's no 'could die' about it. You only have to look at other countries with mass outbreaks to see that frontline staff *have* died. Without proper equipment, some of my colleagues will die because of this, no two ways about it. Might even be me. The government really needs to pull…
Yeah me too.. the vast majority of us don't sound anything like what people think of as *the* British accent. Obviously don't expect Americans to be able to tell Birmingham and Wolverhampton apart, but come on. If we referred to 'the American accent', they'd quite rightly be like,…
@rwy - It's batter, sorry. 'Flour, milk, eggs' aren't the full constituents of either bread dough or cookie dough. What kind of dough are you thinking of that only needs those three things?

The article is weird anyway because we have a policy (not legally-enforced AFAIK but all of the major supermarkets follow it at least) to ask for ID for everyone who looks under 25, even though our legal age to drink is 18. I still get IDed at 33. It is kind of annoying, but people…
13. Prescription meds adverts - this is one I completely agree with. Advertising brands of medication to an audience of whom the majority don't understand the scientific principles of pharmacology (not a dig at Americans - same would apply in the UK if we advertised medication) seems…
Not saying there's anything wrong with someone testing the waters as to whether you want to have sex, if they immediately retreat if you indicate that you don't want to - that seems fine and respectful and safe.
But I was genuinely taken aback when I finally met someone (in my 30s!)…
