    I love the massive difference between our 2 facts @Mary_Scope 😆

    I looked up some facts about it and found out that Ice-T was originally contracted for only four episodes, but he enjoyed working on the series so much he asked to become permanent cast member!

    And nearly 30 years later he is still there @Rachel_Scope!

    Another fact….Mariska Hargitay who plays Olivia Benson was told by a psychic 6 months before she landed the role that she would be well known and incredibly famous for her very serious face and at the time Mariska was like what!! no way!! I am a happy smiley person pursuing a career in comedy and sitcoms😂😂😂

    Mine is quite shameful … how to put the washing machine onto fast spin. Never in my life have I had to

    … took me back to my childhood. Explaining like I was 5 😁

    Well done for admitting that @WelshBlue 😆 To be fair, I don't know what all the functions do on my washing machine! Now that you know are you expected to do all the washing?

    Well done for cooking your own tea @SheffieldMan1976! Great choice too. Should there be some staff around though?

    No that doesn't sound good @SheffieldMan1976. Are you able to raise a complaint with someone?

    I had to look this up because I couldn't believe it! Wow.

    It's crazy isn't it! I guess it's how they communicated, so if they wanted to invite someone to tea that evening they'd have to send a letter and get a response quickly!
