I don't know about 'most' women but presumably yes. I don't care what's in it if it looks nice...and we're back to chocolate cake again... and pretty boys. Where's my blushing emoji? ps hair serum works or I'd look like Catweasel/Wurzle Gummidge/Freddie Boswell or all three!
Hazel a word. We are lucky in that we live in a wonderful scenic area apart from the what is left of the Steel Mills. When I joined ICI they brought young graduates up for nine months hands on experience, they came from their Cushy Southern Living to what they thought the ends of the earth, they actually thought we wore Woad and Goat Skins. They were kicking and screaming against what the thought the wildest Safari ever. We gave them the tour and nine months later they were kicking and screaming not to go back home, many of them came back as Managers and lived their lives here. Shush is the word, do not let on about our wonderful secret world, our wonderful descriptive language, and the straight talking lovely people who live in the area. Such as Jo Whiley who I think added another dimension to the Hampton Court Show. Our secret Hazel. Frank.
@Lyn I'm sure we could all take something on the stuff on this thread to heart and feel miffed, if we wanted to. Some people reading will love Halloween plastic stuff, I love face serums, many will love football, adverts and enjoy spitting in public (I know lots of friends who do, as they cycle or run. A point of principle for them). This thread is for (semi) unfiltered rantiness. Please don't take it to heart.
My Daughter in California makes a big fuss about the 4th of July, who would be a Turkey in America? I always reply only an idiot would throw good tea into the harbour and then drink coffee that had been brewing on the stove for hours and tasted like the stuff they spread on the roads. We took our own tea bags with us when visiting I also took my own soap, guess what packing to come home she would say you can leave the tea bags and soap. Saying that the fish and chips on Fishermans Wharf were the best I ever tasted and we even got mushy peas. America is not all bad. Frank.
@Fire, surely they're just using the word " serum " because it sounds more "scientific" than " cream " or , "ointment" to sucker in the gullible? I'm happily growing old disgracefully. I care not about " firmer , plumper skin " nor the " 7 signs of ageing"
Something else on my rant-of-the-day list: faux aged wooden plaques with bile-inducingly twee aphorisms. I also have an irrational dislike of signs which state the obvious. My mother used to have a kitchen jar labelled ‘spoons’. Did she think people might otherwise think they were spanners? On an open garden visit last weekend there was a metal fairy holding a sign saying ‘garden’. Specialist subject, Sybil ... ?
He once described pine martens as " amazing, amazing creatures."
Chris does like to repeat words, for sure. But don't forget that it's live TV and they have to think of something to say. And they are amazing, amazing creatures. He is as profoundly awed by the natural world as anyone I have encountered.

Yes, it's a daft word, but it is supposed to define something different from a standard moisturiser, oil, cream etc. But I'm buggered if I'm going to start defending dodgy products on a public forum. I'm sure a lot of them are nonsense. I don't wear make up. I like good skin.
