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.

    • Unexpected events can mean you can't attend a booked swim. I think a 4 hour cancellation period is fine.  It leaves enough time for people to be able to take the place after it's cancelled.  
    • To the best of my knowledge there are three shops on Lordship Lane selling fruit and veg (or at least displaying them outside) and sadly I now no longer go to two of them because of, to put it kindly, the  "mistakes".  Those I've actually noticed. (the other one I just admire the wonderful  display but assume I can't afford to buy anything).
    • I didn't know they were on Deliveroo! Wondering if central East Dulwich is within 2.5 miles (crosses her fingers)? According to Google maps it's a 40 minute walk from mine, so I guess it depends how fast you walk. Will consult ChatGPT for hopefully an accurate assessment of the actual distance (or look on Deliveroo. Duh. 🤣) ETA: Chat GPT says about 2 miles. But I had  first uploaded a screenshot of their website with their address and  postcode on, and before I could ask my question it had come back with a rewrite of their website blurb, which it didn't have a high opinion of 🤣
