Sid4ever Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 So based on the responses to my future son-in-law asking permission to marry my daughter, which traditions do you see as antiquated. Thinking @bicksterhelping the local constabulary, @blandyhaving tartare sauce on fish, @Stevo985wearing socks, @rjw63DHUTRU and @Xelahaving normal bowel movements? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Nothing too antiquated about any of them, although I prefer horseradish on my fish. tartare is too bland (see what I did there?). I'd say Bicks should try and lose the scouse accent; Blandy should go for a pint with Nigel farage; Stevo should wear socks, and sandals; Xela really should wear rubber knickers. Left myself out by accident. I should start being smutty as I never ever do it. Edited May 18, 2021 by rjw63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2021 Does 'antiquated' = 'bad' here? Are we looking for traditions that we hate, and would like to see the back of? Or ones that we like, and want to preserve (or even revive?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be free to divorce without any patronising nonsense and having to pay thousands of pounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Bonfire night can **** right off. clearings in the woods chucking dangerous explosives about. Kids maiming themselves. Babies woken up. Pets petrified. The damage to the environment. People dying due to bad storage. FFS we have 3D TV with surround sound now. Do we really need to watch coloured lights in the sky going BANG? I am liking these new drone displays though. I can see some real innovation in entertainment coming along soon with non of the above issues. Edited May 19, 2021 by sidcow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your hat off when eating Assuming you normally eat indoors, that's a given. No need to ever wear a hat except outside in cold weather (or very hot weather, I guess). If you happen to be eating a sandwich while out on a hike, fine, keep it on. Edited May 19, 2021 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
