I've never known Americans to wear shoes in their own homes.

I once almost dated a foot fetishist – we had mutual friends who apparently noted my feet and decided they should introduce us. I didn't end up going out with him (beacause I was in a general not-going-out-with-anyone-ever phase) but I sort of wish I had, just so I could see what it's like to have someone be really,

Me too. I'm irrationally proud of how my toes all line up perfectly. (My irrational pride is possibly proportionate to my sister's hatred of her "deformed" feet – her word.)

I had no idea what they were so I just Googled… bloody hell.

Yep. I don't want to leave London because we just moved here but God, it's insanely expensive.

Yep. There is no way I can afford to buy here in London (or back in Los Angeles).

No, my cutesy Asian girl friend's go-to pose was the fuck-off way, not the peace way! I looked at the Miley picture, which reminded me of my friend. I do definitely know the difference.

As are mine! I'm English but moved to the US, then moved back to London, then got married in California, then got a double-barrelled name so I had to change it by deed poll: some things can't be updated without going TO ANOTHER CONTINENT in person, I have to keep travelling for work so I don't have time to get a new

I totally didn't know who Zara Tindall was for a second; I thought she kept her maiden name. Anyway, hurray for another future rugby/equestrian star.

Ha! Where I come from it's very much an insult! (My family tell me I've "gone all posh", which I definitely haven't.)

I think mine was about 2000, too — but that's because I'd just moved into the city and had access to salons. I don't think I'd seen the show back then.

Ugh, the razor burn! I experimented when I was young, and there was no way I was ever going to be happy shaving. I'm totally with you on that.

I definitely wouldn't (and never have) put up with being spotty or itchy! If spotty+itchy or entirely au naturel were the only two options, I would keep the hair. Thankfully they're definitely not the only two options, though.

I've always preferred a Brazilian, but when I was broke I just went au naturel for months on end and it didn't bother me a great deal. I definitely wasn't going to shave, so I just let it be.

Oh, for the love of God. Just reading it once before hitting "publish" would do. Just using Firefox and switching on the spellcheck option would point out "ouse". Just paying a sub would solve this and SO MANY OTHER problems with these posts. Fucking hell.

I knew someone who'd been planning her wedding since she was a kid and then once she finally actually got to do it she lost that hobby. BUT THEN she became her church's wedding coordinator, and found that to be a hobby that she loved even more because it was collaborative, so it ended well for her. Hurray!

So true. It's not like I go "oh, I ran out of moisturiser, let me pop to Paris immediately" but if I'm going to Paris for work I just stock up. It's not that far away. I'm not at all rich or posh or fancy and I don't care at all about Gwyneth Paltrow… but I do care about Darphin skincare stuff.

I missed M&S when I was in the US. Now I'm back in London and I eat from there and Waitrose almost every day (I pretend to be middle class every lunchtime, obviously).

I was once given illegal cheese that had been smuggled into America. It was the best. Mmm, unpasteurised and illegal…

Her family's been made fun of quite a bit for their apparently recent signet-ring love (it seems really unusual for anyone to wear them here unless they're deeply posh, so plenty of people find it pretentious of non-posh people wearing them)… I do find myself rolling me eyes when I see it.
