About BritBox and Acorn. I have them both but prefer Acorn and will probably drop BritBox.

@hollydolly True, you have a whole house, but I just want a snug and cozy little place to hide with my kitty.

I'd put all my hobby stuff in there and no one but me would be allowed in ... unless they brought cheese and coffee with them of course! :)
 

I have a pair of shoes. No boots. No trainers. Just a pair of shoes.

I also have a pair of special non-slip shoes for work so that I won't take a flyer on slippery floors. But those don't count.

In the olden days, when we were all much younger and I was still cube farming, I had a closet full of shoes in all styles and colors. And trainers. And sandals and whatever all other footwear.

But now? I have a pair of shoes.

In truth, as we only have one pair of feet, all we really need is one pair of shoes but ... not every style and colour goes with everything and then there are heel heights - you need different heels for different outfits - I couldn't possibly be seen in public wearing the wrong shoes :oops::)
 
I have a lot of shoes but now they are mostly flats and trainers. I have boots but my feet keep changing, now they are uncomfortable or too small. I am going to look at the end of season for a pair or two on sale.

Did you know that the more you wear flats, the more your feet actually spread so you will need bigger shoes sizes...

No I did not know. I thought they are changing because as we age nothing stays the same. I love all the pretty shoes with heels but to be honest I can't walk in them without feeling I am going to fall. Now that I have had a hip replacement the thought of falling terrifies me.
 
Yes they don't grow longer.. but they do grow wider.. and if you wear flats more than slimmer heeled shoes your feet will definitely widen even quicker, it's what the feet get used to.. I used to be a size 4.5 ( US size 6.5).. when I was growing up, and into my 20's.. but since my 30's I've been a size 5 (EU size 38) .. and I find if I've been wearing my trainers most of the time, and then wear heeled shoes or boots they feel slightly tight..

He’s great. I’ve never seen IASIP, just heard about it. I’ve seen him on other things though and with Ryan Reynolds. Rob filled in on one of Kimmel’s vacation shows. He was the very best sub-host by far.

..I HATE socks.

Me too. Not the wearing of them in the winter; the washing them. There’s no logic for this. I do lots of laundry, yet I can frustrated when my pile of clean socks goes down.

However, since the car is fairly recent model there is no way to open trunk without starting the car so my friend had to get into the trunk from the inside .

I can see that as a security factor. If the front is unlocked, at least no one can get into the trunk. There should be an override for 82 year women though.

No, I've never watched BritBox Aneeda... however I'm left wondering why I would need to watch it as Brit..I mean not why you're asking but why they would be selling it to Brits, when we already get channels showing Vera etc on regular TV channels....other than that of course I have Amazon Prime so I get lots of TV, and film choices .. which I don't actually use tbh

Idk why you would need it 😂. It just said that it has a large collection of British films and shows and is a popular service in Britain. Maybe because it’s all in one spot. I can’t get it through Comcast, I have to get it through Amazon.

I do get some British shows on PBS. I like British actors as they are more “real” people instead of being, hmm, picked for their perfect looks and then heavily made up to look even better. Looking like “real” everyday people adds to the reality of the tv show, IMO.

You might like to take a look at both britbox and acorn tv before making a decision. I was also of the same mind to get britbox but found that I had seen a lot of the content. I purchased acorn tv, about $10 canadian and I love it. Not only shows from the UK but Australian shows that I really enjoy and subtitles. Good luck BTW you can find Vera on acorn tv. Funnily enough when I spent some time in the UK I could not find anything on the tv that I liked so ended up doing a lot of reading.

I’ll check the price of acorn vs britbox, thanks.
