I’ve got two kids. I’ve just paid their holiday club for a total of six days worth of childcare over the summer holidays. Guess how much that cost?

Did consider this, but the reference was lost on the 8 year old

Would just like to say a big thank you and fuck you to my kids’ school for making tomorrow - in the last week of term, when I’ve spent the month crawling through assemblies and sports days and end of year performances - Dress Like An Ancient Egyptian Day

Booked tickets for an event on @ticketmaster.com. The event was cancelled. Ticketmaster refunded me the cost of the tickets but kept the £4.25 booking fee. Is it just me or is that some absolute bullshit?

I don’t think you understand this issue at all. I suggest you do a bit more research instead of scaring yourself and others with hyperbolic claims that have no basis in reality. Going to mute this conversation now
