Call it a class thing. It's probably a class thing. Something to do with Dr being a trade and a surgeon being a gentleman. I bet the Victorians were involved.

I kind of hope I get some trick or treaters this year, I am in the mood to be sociable. Otoh I hope I don't get TOO many as I am also in the mood to eat all the sweeties myself.

Indeed, calling him doctor is a demotion but at least you had the defence of 'polite but foreign' which usually goes a long way.
I find the handful of int'l students who insist on calling me ma'am sweet but HILARIOUS.

I absolutely did not get so bored at work I wasted 2 hours cutting out a garden of orange paper pumpkins to stick in my front window because I was too cheap and disorganised to buy decorations.
Nope. Not me.

Dentists are dental surgeons so technically as a surgeon they are Mister because... historic reasons

Hello.

A very not scary little pumpkin with a toofy lil face and cheery triangle eyes. He is lit from within and will probably go live in the fridge till Friday.

My dentist has some SCARY £££ shit on their price list. All the while I can maintain cruising altitude of simple filling or less it's fine. But unlike an NHS dentist, private ones are not price capped. But good luck finding an NHS one round these parts.

I'll be honest, I think even the sturdiest of crocks would have struggled to handle whatever happened to that box. I've only ever bought crockery from Ikea in person, but I've seen couriers absolutely maul ceramics no matter how well wrapped.

Can't say as I've seen "Can't tell" and "Don't know" as gender options before. Seems sub optimal. 🤔

This weekend's charity shop jigsaw. One slightly damaged piece and a couple needed a whisper of pritt stick, but I'll take that for a couple of quid versus the full price. The image had been on my list for a while, I was quite excited to find it.

1000 piece Ravensburger jigsaw of of the interior of a bookshop.

Well, they have to pay them for you or it won't make it through the post, but I bet the shipping fee is WILD.

Top right corner of the page, there should be a flag and a $ symbol with a drop down arrow. Re-select the " 🇬🇧 £ " and see if that works?
