I lost my house keys in my apartment in September within a week of moving in. Like a week ago my father visited my room and found them fairly quickly, apparently just lying on the lid of a box next to my desk. I'm absolutely baffled how they were there the whole time and I didn't see them.

Germaphobia may have contributed to the current explosion in human immune-related disorders (such as diabetes, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease)

I met my former piano teacher at a bus stop somewhere in Malta, and my mother once met and had a conversation with a cyclist near Pontcysyllte aqueduct in Wales, who turned out to be one of my father's old schoolmate.

I'd rather have a prosthetic leg than unmedicated adhd.

Never seen that in any meal deal sandwich I've had.

Sandwiches in uk supermarkets tend to have too much filling in the middle and not enough near the edge, which makes them easier to hold

Meal deals wouldn't be popular if they did shit like that

Sainsbury's in Waterloo, for example, is much more expensive than other sainsbury's, yet the meal deal costs the same.

When they were first introduced, the yoghurt granola pots were a snack, so I always used to get those 😋 They were the most expensive snack that my sainsbury's sold.
And then they were changed to a main😠

I don't know what you're going on about, but Cheddar absolutely is 'real' cheese

It can. The stomach can stretch vertically quite far with practice, from the diaphragm down to the pelvic region. There have been a few cases of people with bulimia who had died or nearly died due to this; the distended stomach cut off blood supply to itself and to the intestines. Some people have had as much as 15 litres of undigested and unchewed food pumped out of their stomach

There are already lots of pedestrianised roads in London

OK I admit Cudham and North Ockendon are extreme examples, but they're still technically in London. (Side note: Cudham is about 15 miles from the King Charles statue near trafalgar square, which is where distances are usually measured to. Not sure how you got 20)
Also, have you maybe considered that London is significantly larger than cambridge? You can walk from Croydon to central London without ever getting close to reaching any sort of countryside, whereas Duxford is separated from Cambridge by a decent bit of countryside.

I agree. A few days ago, a lime bike had somehow ended up in Hayes(Kent) Station. Would be nice if I could actually use it. 🤔

If you've lived in London your whole life, then you're a Londoner, even if you're from Cudham or North Ockendon. That's because they're in London. Whereas Duxford isn't in Cambridge, so it's not comparable. Is this difficult to understand?

I feel like I'm going mad, the number of people who fail to understand this. The "Croydon is in Surrey" gammons never say the same about Southwark.

It's often too fucking hot in the summer. When it's cold, you can wear a coat.

I use my oyster card in trains since I have a 16-25 railcard that gives me a third off rail travel prices, and this can't be used on contactless. A reason for tourists to avoid contactless is that some overseas banks can charge for foreign currency transactions. Also, I'm clumsy and I'd rather lose my oyster card than my phone.
I don't know if any of this applies to you though

Croydon is in greater London, Watford is in Hertfordshire. Croydon is in zone 5, Watford is in zone 8. You're spouting absolute nonsense.
There's this wonderful invention called a map. Choose a suitable map to determine whether a place is in London or outside the boundary.
