Discussion/Chatter Post
This is a place for all sorts of off-topic discussion.
You can post anon or un-anon, per your personal preference, as usual.
All I ask is that you stay civil and (hopefully) friendly.
If you also want to use this thread to try to find a beta for a fic, or ask a brit-pick-ish question, I think that would be an acceptable use. Have fun!

It's my headcanon that John buys most of his clothes that he doesn't
wear to work at cheap shops like H&M (do you have that in the U.S?) or second
hand shops... basically he's me :D

Since I was the anon that wanted to know what the term meant and
received such prompt, informative answers, I figure I owe it to you to
answer your question!
We have H&M in mostly large US cities on either coast.
http://www.hm.com/us/store-locator
On the west coast, the furthest ones toward the east looks like Las
Vegas, Nevada and Tucson, Arizona.
The east coast seems to have many more than the west. The furthest east
heading west stores are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and St. Louis, Missouri.
I'm now living in Southern Illinois, so the St. Louis one would be closest to me.
There appear to be none at all in what snobs deem 'The Fly-Over
States.'

Completely OT but: I lived in one for 12 months and then left and
came back to the west coast because I couldn't take it anymore.
I was the only non-white person I encountered most days and had a
woman ask if I were from Africa at work one day. (I'm of Asian
descent.)

Sorry for the delay in my reply. It took me forever to type up
because I don't know when to shush it.
Not journal pimping, cross my heart. but my reaction to that silly
woman and an 'if you peer hard really hard' experience of my own
are at my lj journal
if you're interested.

Ah thanks! Wow..somany Hennes... how many people across the
world own the same yellow submarine Beatles t shirt as me? I was
basically trying to get across that our precious BAMF Johnny is not a
label whore, I sometimes forget that I use colloquilasms. If you spot
any more please feel free to ask! Pick at my Brit, I love it :D

No, no! I lurve colloquialisms.
The Brit pick brouhaha is as perplexing to me as my husband'
apparent need to explain, in more detail than I thought humanly
possible, his beloved National League baseball to me.
Unknown expressions, phrases, region nicknames, all that stuff is
fascinating to me. When you see an anon post asking, 'What does
(fill in the blank) mean? Do you know its origin?" one out of five
odds, it's me.
I've not yet been to H&M. I want to go, but the last thing I need
right now is clothes as I'm trying to be minimalist, tough going for
a pack rat.
I practically orgasmed when I visited 'Lush,' spent way
more money then I should, even on those bathbombs, especially
for a confirmed shower-er. I still itch and sometimes succumb, to
order online.
I love other countries versions of US's 'Target. 'Kohls'' or
'Walgreens.' As a small business owner, not Wal-mart. Grrrrr.
Years ago I remember tearing around a Clichy Monoprix, gleefully
stockpiling funky tights, Petite Bateu t-shirts, pretty journals,
almond and ylang-ylang shampoos, soaps and lotions and tons of
Bourjois cosmetics that hadn't yet made their way stateside. So
much fun!
Love me inexpensive stores featuring interesting,
quality goods, in different countries or regions of the states.
And I love this story.
