I've lived abroad for years. The worst is the queue in the chemist where everybody (read: complete strangers) wants to know what is wrong with you, what you have been prescribed for it, and then all and sundry offer comments along the lines of, "My uncle had that and he took xyz. And died only a few years later." Turns out on further questioning that he was 97, but hey ho. Now the entire farmacia knows YOUR medical history as well as every one of their friends, family, neighbours, butcher etc. Private medical records? PAH

My best bit about saying thanks to bus drivers in the North is when a long line of people is getting off at the same stop and each person alternates their greetings of gratitude to give the driver a bit variety in their day.
"Thanks" "Cheers" "Thank you" "Ta" "Cheers" "Thanks mate" etc.
Anyone personally know a bus driver that can confirm whether they bloody love the thanks, and think the non thankers are serious bleeps? Would love to know now

It's true, you absolutely can't say the same version of thank you as the person in front of you, ya get banned
Serena is going to kill me when she gets back from ‘spoons.
I wonder worry, she'll be in there till closing then be so SLOSHED after 1.5litres of malibu she wont be able to type
I had a lovely chat on the beach today (stealth boast) with an older lady who was looking beautifully fresh in a lemon printed blouse and white linen maxi skirt. She told me she had varicose veins and bingo wings, hence the outfit. Honestly she looked amazing
It made me wonder why mumsnet posters have to be so horrible to each other 🥲
I did see “phaff” on MN a while back. Momentarily wondered whether it was on of you lot on the wind up or them just being idiotic as usual. Then I moved on with my life…<washes out Geetbo's mouth with Dudu Osun soap and gives him a clip round the ear'ole>
Learn to spell you lazy little bleeder!
Hardly "outrageous" language. He didn't say "I'm going for a mit"
They've given him the shock-value he wanted. They should have complained about his lack of originality.
Reddit has some much more original expressions . . .
Dropping the kids off at the pool, bake a biscuit, doing a push, dropping some hot snakes, making some chocolates, seeing a man about a curd, doing a dirty job and then the paperwork, making a direct deposit, unloading cargo, taking the browns to the super bowl, the prairie dog wants to leave the hole, I've got a big brown dog barking at the back door, honk out a dirt snake, restock the sewer. And many more . . .
When I was at school I used to know a lad who would say "I'm off to squeeze my head", and would joke about his nick-name being "the dump truck".
Kid has no imagination.

It's being so cheerful as keeps them going, I expect.
that’s my mother. Had all her little phrases which she thought made her sound posh but in reality marked her out as Hyacinth Bucket working class aspirations.
So many bollockings as a child for not saying the right thing or some perceived manners infraction. Then she got annoyed at my “rudeness” and failure to make polite conversation when I just shut up for an easy life
That was very vulgar language. He should have said "just off to snap a bit off mam."
You are dead
to me.
Me too.
I'm too busy starting the whip-round for the driver.
Oh em gee I nearly missed this!

The precious firstborn is such a talker, despite being a norf Londoner, that the regular bus drivers stop right outside his flat midway between stops. I do not have this people skill
I never encountered the plane clapping until one day last year. Flying home from Italy, we were told there would be turbulence, and there was a bit. Landed and I think maybe one person tried clapping but it quickly faded away.
One person clapped on my last flight to Greece. He stopped quickly as there were 'looks'
A rowdy 6am flight to Alicante will always feature some clapping. And The Clap
