Very true. We were very slack about bomb threats where I worked, because there were so many and we were all trying not to let ourselves become constant nervous wrecks.

Yep, that was the part that stunned me.

I know. That's what people found so unusual about it. (I'm not saying that no one in England has named their child Pretty, but it would be just as unusual as people apparently found that person's choice to name her child Linda.)

I was very interested in TEFL when I was younger, but I was totally put off it by the other people I met who were also interested in it.

All my Australian friends and acquaintances! I apparently have great taste in people.

I feel that way about 90% of the celebrity items on this site, but not this one!

That's how I feel about 90% of Dirt Bag items! This one I totally understood.

THANK YOU. I shoot a lot in hotels and helpful people always start turning on all the lights and I have to try to politely ask them to turn them all off again and just open the bloody curtains.

You can totally tap dance. It's really, really, really fun (even though I haven't done it for a million years, I am absolutely sure it's definitely still true). I actually really want to start doing it again, but I have a horror of "adult dance classes" because I remember being all young and seeing people's mums come…

It's been long enough since I took tap dancing lessons that I've now got it into my head that I was quite good at it. I like the safe distance of age.

Boo, we don't have that. We have a game. But I like the (presumably) American one better; it's very pretty.

I can't imagine what it must be like in the US. I lived there for ages and it sounds incredibly expensive. Here in the UK the government loan we could take out at the time doesn't need to be paid back if your income never reaches a high enough level, and when your income is high enough the repayments are taken as an…

YES. My husband moved to my city seven months ago and hasn't found a job yet and it's making me cry a ton, which I can't stand in myself. I try not to talk to him about it at all because he feels like a failure and hates that he's not earning yet. I'm doing a job and a half and paying for everything and freaking out.

My education was technically covered by government loans that I now pay back based on my income (and if my income is low enough, will eventually be written off) but I wasn't wealthy enough to avoid working in addition to that — London's expensive and I didn't want to rely on my parents. (I didn't consider it a problem…

I was just given my personal example of why I was glad to could work an extra day — there were other people at my job who weren't students, but were very happy we could work on Sundays (and were very happy when we started opening two hours later every evening, too, because everyone could get more hours).

Right; exactly. It would be considered odd in the country although it's normal in others.

Do you wish you could work more than one day a week because education is expensive and you're at university Monday to Friday. Sorry, we can't give you hours on Sunday.

It's really not possible for me to shop on a weekday, so I'm limited to weekends. I'm really, really grateful that I have the option of Sunday as well as Saturday. And when I worked retail as well as being in full-time education, I was grateful for that opportunity to make money.

I loved working my shitty retail job on a Sunday! I had to pay for my education, and my hours were obviously really limited (because of the classes I was paying for) so I was very, very glad I could work on more than just Saturday.

Yes. I remember when shopping on Sundays was limited here, and it was annoying. For people who aren't able to shop Monday-Friday, having only Saturday to get stuff done was tiresome.
