I'd like to be able to buy clothes you can actually wear to work if you don't work behind a bar or in the media.


And functional women's underwear.


And a hairdresser who listens to what you want AND THEN DOES IT.


And a proper food market that sells buckets of ripe fruit and veg at a pound a time rather than hog roast, shabby-chic furniture and fudge that's never been near Somerset.

I had no idea what it meant and just went with the flow. I decided to look it up and found it in the Urban Dictionary as follows:


Totes

A shorter more convenient form of the word: totally. This word is most commonly used by teenage girls.


The most obvious advantage of using this word is the time saved. Data collected at a prestigious university found that every syllable spoken takes approximately 0.14 seconds.


The same prestigious university also found that the average valley girl says the word totally around 190 times a day.


If you do the math, the average time saved by using the word totes as opposed to totally would save 26.6 seconds a day! Over the course of a year that adds up to 2.7 hours!!

Girl #1: I totes want to go to the shoe store because I totes need to purchase new heels.


Girl #2: Totes! I totes need a new pair too so I'll totes go with you.


Girl #3: OH EM GEE! you guys saved 0.7 seconds by saying totes instead of totally!!



I never took Woody for a teenage girl but I've been surprised before.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
