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.

    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend! 
    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.
