Remember when picking up “a few bits” at the supermarket didn’t cost £54?

20 posts held, back to 3 January 2019 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 18 August 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Time for a brisk walk to burn off the 50,000 calories consumed this week. 10-15 minutes should do it. And then... probably a ham sandwich.
No, I am not “wasting the day” I am “capitalising on my sofa opportunities”
Life is just making it through each day until it’s finally “phone in bed” time.
“Oh I’d love to but I can’t” - Translation: I don’t want to so I won’t.
"Honestly... It's fine" - Translation: My brain is vibrating with pure rage.
Squeezing on to a wooden table in a beer garden with a cold drink. Looking at the menu but choosing the burger, again. Asking if it’s okay to get some ketchup and mayo, please. Telling friends go on have a chip. Bloody wasp! Wishing you’d worn sun cream. Can’t wait for that.
“You still awake?” “Nope”
How to fix something: -Say "let's have a look" -Describe the brokenness -Break it a bit more -Say "nah it's broken" -Place hands on hips -Slowly walk away
“I’m off to bed” - Translation: I’m off to stick my legs in and out of the duvet and spin my pillow around until morning
"Give them a ring" "I've emailed" "Be quicker to ring" "I've sent a text as well" "Just ring them" "I'll send another email"
How to buy something in a shop: 1. Enter shop 2. Choose item(s) 3. Go to till 4. Say “just these, please”
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @soverybritish. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
