Me and my family usually go on holiday to Cornwall once a year and we really do love it there, my husband and I have talked about moving there for years with our 4 autistic kids (3 are now young adults but still live with us and our 15 year old non verbal son) it's always been a dream to live near the beach but it's never really been something we were in a position to do until now, so I was just wondering what is it really like as this will be a huge decision for us to make and a huge change for our kids and they hate change, but I'm hoping it would be worth all the stress. I'm not sure what i'm expecting from this question i'm just really nervous about making a huge decision and regretting it, if you live in Cornwall please let me know your honest opinions, and if you have kids with autism please tell me what help there is out there or things to do, places to go etc. Sorry for the long post I just really don't want to make the wrong decision, thank you.

I'm not a royalist but something the media seems to do constantly that annoys me is the misuse of royal titles.

I remember when the Queen died it was published that Charles would become King and that the Queen wished for Camilla to have the title Queen Consort. So why does every UK media post refer to her as just 'Queen'.

Another one is when everything kicked off with Harry, it was said that he would drop his royal titles when he moved to America and stopped his royal duties...yet he's still referred to as Prince Harry.

It also took them a while to drop the Prince title from Andrew.

The most recent one that comes to mind Karl Urban in The Boys - was supposed to be English but was purely Aussie.

On British crime dramas, cash is stored rolled up and rubber-banded. Is this typical? If yes, why is the cash rolled up?

It’s my first few days in Uk friends. I love it! I am so happy I can’t even explain. It was my always dream to visit the country of so many famous people! The country has such a beautiful and big history it’s insane! I am sorry for many “!” Signs but I am just overwhelmed by the situation i think. People are so friendly everyone is smiling it’s so new to me. The weather is great summer is beautiful. People seem to care about others as well what’s is big wow for me few times strangers even asked me if I got any problems what’s actually make me little emotional because in my country no body care about you people only worded about they own life. I heard lots about how people in England are not happy but i didn’t see it yet at least in the town centres when you can see people who have plenty of time to just enjoy the life. One of my friends told me that in England it’s only work work work but like I have said I have seen loads of people spending time with there friends. I have been in town centre few times and I see same people just chilling so I am assuming they do some less work because for them more important are connections between the love ones what’s so good! In my country everyone is focus on work. There no chance to met because everyone is working. I am planning to stay here for a 2 weeks and my plan was to to see Stonehenge (must see on my list) then I wanted to see Conwy castle then York and get to Hadrians wall I got 2 weeks and i wanted to stay few days in each place but i think i might change my plan to my best friend recommendation he spent 10 years in Luton and after we went for a walk in to town centre I was so impressed and shocked he told me to go to Birmingham or Manchester or Bradford especially the night he even said my impression go to next level and i think I will do it a really want to see true England
Is there’s more places i should see before i leave this magical country???

Edit: lmao the wording of this question is kinda ambiguous and I'm getting some pretty funny answers thanks lol

To me it means someone of a certain unfortunately commonm personality type. Deceitful, dishonest, lacking accountability, maybe manipulative, selfish, hypocritical, glib, exploitative, impulsive, no concern for anything beyond their own self appraisal, lacking any self awareness and what could be considered positives but arent due to the context, status seeking, confident, social minded in terms of status and others perception of them and driven.

as stated from before: looking for any open casual leagues or as we call it across the pond "pickup".

mainly looking for:
open to any player.
in the London area.
about the length of "autumn" (fall)

Nothing seems to have improved still a poor population every one is one edge left with a drug problem homes are too expensive

I’m trying to get an ETA on when I should send a big parcel through the mail with some perishables (packaged snacks and other miscellaneous things).

It’s being shipped out from Canada to Brighton. I am in no rush to send it and would just like to know when it starts getting colder there :) I checked the Weather app but, it seems like there’s still a huge heatwave going on! Autumn gets here pretty early for me and it’s already cold. What is it like for you?

Is beginning-September good enough?

Thanks!

Hi, I distinctly remember there was a very useful and long-running series (in G2 or another section?) that had an educational agenda. It covered a wide range of subjects - language, science, politics, history. You name it, they probably covered it.

Would anyone remember the name of this series?

Not necessarily rules and regulations but just the general politeness

In roughly the span of 2 weeks, the Telegraph published something like 37 articles while the spectator published 12 articles. And that's not to mention the Daily Mail or The Sun or the many other British papers.

A lot of people dog on British food, but I refuse to believe that it’s as bad as the internet makes it out to be. I’m an American (Midwest specifically. We eat a lot of dairy.) but I think British pub food sounds heavenly. I saw a video a while back showcasing the oldest fast food restaurant in London’s east end (I just checked, it was F Cooke Pie & Mash) and it looked so good. I’d even try the jellied eels, if not just for the novelty of it.

I know there’s more to British food than just chips and pies and stuff though, and I know that there’s more than just exclusively British food to choose from. I’d love to know your favorite dish!

I’m sending a big box of miscellaneous things to a friend and she smokes cigarettes- I was thinking of adding my favorites one to the box just as a gag, is that legal?

(fully wrapped and sealed)

That was kinda scary. I thought we were doomed.

I will be in london for the fall. Any casual football/soccer clubs that meet on sundays?
