Avocado on toast?

 

[Raining on Me]

I forgot La La Land entirely. I'm glad those answers were split because there was nothing like a TITANIC answer was there

 

[floppet]

The UK is not specific enough as a country anymore?

United Kingdom = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, considered countries in their own right. Or at least they were when I went to school.

 

[big ron]

All good until this round. I gave up at this point.

 

[dmlaw]

I'd like to think that racism might be a fad of the 2010s but it seems likely that it will be going from strength to strength.

Thank goodness I didn't put it as my answer.

They are when we talk football too, so you have a point there.

[Raining on Me]

United Kingdom = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, considered countries in their own right. Or at least they were when I went to school.

Well yes, it's just funny the idea that "UK" is not specific as an actual country. But I get your point.

Ugh, I remembered TikTok winning a question about youth trends over the summer and now everyone jumps ship

Well yes, it's just funny the idea that "UK" is not specific as an actual country. But I get your point.

Please remember that when I went to school the periodic table of elements stated that these elements exist alone and cannot be formed from other elements. Nowadays they bandy around the idea that you just bang two hydrogens together and get helium! I am a product of 1970s misinformation.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Not sure who Julia Goddard is.

 

[Alla]

I know she didn't do it on purpose, but when @Ellie asked if the answer had to be an indidividual or could be multiple people, I saw that as a massive spoiler, she was literally asking "can I answer the Spice Girls?" Girls, you can't ask those questions in the post, just answer whatever you think.
