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.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day. 
    • GP not willing to refer you on? Say, to King's or similar. Odd
