For 6-figure Russell Group geniuses, they don’t have much common sense. Imagine announcing to the world you fell for a fake website that even had a spelling error in the name.

It does, you're right! But she means these places: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/

It's sometimes necessary to call them the Royal Parks if you're actually referring to that specific group of them, but usually you could just call it a London park. And they're quite popular so I don't really see how saying you were in Hyde Park on Saturday would be outing unless you also have a husband who cycles. Or just lie and say you were in Richmond Park...or just say you were in a park/some gardens!
There's also Holyrood Park in Edinburgh which is now a Scheduled Monument and managed by Historic Environment Scotland. The roads are still technically owned by the Crown and the rest by Scottish ministers.

I’m catching up on “loot” (apple) - it’s got the wifey from Bridesmaids in it and she specialises in Batshitva dresses - I.e., looks like the DFS Joules range.

I've never heard of a Royal bleeping park 🤣🤣

Sounds like a pretentious park for prentious twats.
I've literally just discovered that my local park (I've lived here for almost 30 years) is a "Royal Park"...I'll definitely be dropping that into conversation at every opportunity 😬🙄

All the recipes I use are at least 36. That’s why I’m Size Triple Chocolate.

Is that the thread where she said something like she made them for the kids and she doesn’t even know why her husband ate any because adults don’t need biscuits.

Why do children NEED biscuits?!
What will she tell the dnhs when her children are obese?
Doesn’t she care some children are starving?

And the real question:

If she thinks adults don’t need biscuits is that because she has such severe dementia she’s forgotten biscuits are delicious?

There’s a thread in AIBU at the min where a woman’s husband had bought some horrible shoes, but in the thread title, she put ‘brought’ instead of ‘bought’

The OP has addressed it and has said she’s dyslexic, but the thread is now on page 10 and the vipers are STILL making comment about an incorrect word. They really love an opportunity to stick the boot in.

and of course, there’s one poster who has said that her own husband is about to start cancer treatment and so she has bigger things to stress about than shoes.

Wouldn’t the normal thought just be “clever me, didn’t burn them and they were so delicious he scoffed the lot”? 🤷‍♀️ I can’t bake for tit (but still manage to be size TUI) - but when I do cook literally anything, I WANT it eaten! I don’t cook for the benefit of the dog or the compost heap. Apologies to those of you with dead dogs.

I saw that thread. The good thing is, it contains today's winner for the coveted Most Ridiculous Thing To Be Offended By prize...

Eating 8 freshly baked biscuits is normal isn’t it? It would be in this household, we can barely wait for them to cool down enough!
