Just curious how spread out we are. I’m up in West Yorkshire myself.

    Canada… This post appeared on my feed on kbin.social 🤷

    I am addicted to UK panel shows and comedy though, so there’s a connection?

        I love QI and Cats does Countdown. And although it’s not exactly a panel show, I’m a big fan of Taskmaster.

          I’m also from Canada (Southern Ontario) and love all those shows as well. Be sure to check out The Unbelievable Truth radio show as well. Currently listening through a second time I enjoyed it so much!

          Have you managed to find a shred of info about why the latest season of Cats only did one episode then just… stopped? Whenever I try to google it I can’t seem to find anything about it

      Hahaha, reading through the comments, I was like, am I in a Brit-only sub.

      New Mexistan here.

      Edit: Ok, maybe I did end up somewhere I’m not supposed to be. Still don’t understand the Fediverse. 🤦🏻‍♀️

        Usually people ask me how the hell I ended up in Wyoming, which is also a fair question. But, as 1st mentioned, you were on the front page.

    Germany, now living in South East England. Not a fan, to be honest with you. I’ll have to stay a bit longer but I don’t see a future here. Housing, cost of living, healthcare, blatant government corruption (or, as it’s called here, “sleaze”, I don’t know why people aren’t calling it out for what it is), an out-of-control Met, systematic neglect of reports of domestic violence and the regular news of women who had reported it, got ignored and then killed by their abusive partners… The list goes on. I really love this country, the countryside here is stunning (especially in the south in the summer), people are so friendly, I have really enjoyed living here, despite lockdowns and the questionable food. But it’s just too much that’s going wrong to stay here long-term, sadly

      A lot of that seems to be a London problem rather than a UK problem, but we’ll not discuss the P word here.

            In the tropics we only have two seasons, wet and dry. These are basically summer and winter. Winter, the good season, started a month or so ago but we’re still getting summer rain. In short, it’s cold, wet and cloudy so just like home in the UK.

          Username checks out.

          Technically I was born a Geordie, raised a Fifer. So I know Dunfermline (or at least the Dunfermline of the 80s) well.

      I’m ashamed to say the only words I know in Welsh are “Bore da” and I’m not entirely sure how to spell them. Thanks for reminding me that I should learn. :)

        The only one I know is Gwasanaethau because it means Services and I’ve seen it on the M4 so often

        That about covers the extent of my knowledge too tbh, that and “Croeso”. I do plan on learning eventually…
