[QUOTE=Annouka-BadCat]I'm in rainy old Hartlepool up in the north of England, and it's pretty much like this:
Illness - chicken soup of any kind is almost always prescribed by the old women. Everyone else goes to the chemist and checks out with a bottle of medicine. So do the old folks, when nothing else works. But they still insist it was their 'good old soup' that did the trick.
Love - yep, the same. Some of the younger males tend to go in Ann Summers as well and buy their girlfriends rauncy underwear. Four sizes too big/small...
Fuzzle Guy, neat pics and descriptions... Viking graveyards--that's pretty awesome. In America, of course, we don't have any people that still live like those, except for the Amish--Communities of people who basically reject the ways of modern society.

- As the girls get older, do the skirts get shorter, until about the age of 21, when the feeling of, 'oh my god, I've got cellulite' hits?
- is there always a gay on the perfume department at any given department store? (Nothing wrong with being gay, here, there is just always a gay guy on the perfume counter...always...I'm beginning to think its a job requirement...)
- Are the people in music stores always into metal/punk/rock/alternative music? (I think that's a job requirement as well.)
- When greeting another male, do men call each other 'mate', whether they're friends or not?

1) That's pretty much relevant to women between ages 13-late twenties. Sometimes it happens outrageously before and past this range of ages. There are still some women with enough dignity to leave
some things to the imagination though, thankfully. Not nearly enough of them though.
2) Hah, I don't think I've ever seen a man in a perfume department around here. I could imagine it in bigger places like New York or something.
3) Not always, but it seems like most of the time.
4) Like previously said, "mate" isn't used in the US, but most guys here do that with the words "dude" and "man." Counting the number of times these two words are used in a conversation between males is great fun.
