Commissioned by Vodafone - are you the 'Support Act', the parent of the group who gives the best advice and ensures no fan gets left behind?
This summer, Vodafone, the Nation's Network, is on a mission to keep friends connected during the very best events of the British summer. (Image: Vodafone) Or maybe the 'Jukebox' strikes a chord – the music encyclopaedia who is up to speed on all the hottest new bands, and introduces your mates to obscure (and incredible) acts.
If you're a 'Planner', then you'll have a lot of friends to compare packing lists with, as nearly a third of the nation (30%) identifies themselves as that mate who arranges group meet-ups and ensures everyone gets to see their favourite acts.
Whereas just 7% believe they're the free-spirited 'Wildcard', making them the UK's rarest friend.

I tried ‘hidden' former penthouse suite bar with stunning city views

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Having lived in London for three years, I quickly realised that any time off I had I would not be making like a tourist and visiting the sights - although I'd never tire of the skyline views when I could get them - which is why it was quite a thrill to be within a stone's throw of Buckingham Palace and St James Park at a recent stay at the stylish Athenaeum Hotel in Mayfair. Located across the road from Green Park (and a five minute walk from the park's namesake Tube station), it's hard not to feel like a tourist (which I now am) when you're greeted by a bowler hatted man who opens the doors to this impressive, historic building. The former private home of MP Henry Hope in 1850, the mansion house was so extravagant it was said to have caught the attention of Charles Dickens . The building went from a home to the Junior Athenaeum Club before becoming a five star hotel and its residences, which have long been associated with the rich and famous. Budget or boutique? This is Mayfair darling, expect to pay from £400 per night for this five star hotel and experience. Location and service are everything here, so it's well worth it plus not many central London hotels have their own spa. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad contributed Room service My Green Park Suite was about ten times the size of my first room in London, and was a vision in burnt orange and cream with a sofa, desk, leather armchair and massive king sized bed. With mirrors everywhere, including mirrored furniture, this was one bright, airy and spacious room in which to create a base to explore London or get some work done. The en suite was also huge, with a stand alone bath with shower, large walk-in shower and double sinks and full sized Molton Brown toiletries. Wining and dining The hotel's restaurant 116 at The Athenaeum is located next to the lobby, serves British food and is headed up by executive chef, Kevin Fawkes. I enjoyed a dinner here, starting with Loch Duart salmon tiradito, leche de tigre, green onion and sesame furikake followed by Denham Valley 30 day dry aged sirloin streak with grilled tenderstem broccoli and skinny fries. Dessert was a light vegan coconut and mango pavlova. The restaurant also serves tasting menus, afternoon tea (including for various dietaries) and breakfast - a small buffet and a la carte options including porridge, eggs benedict, pancakes and omelettes. View from the View lounge | contributed Outside the flower clad exterior is the Terrace which has comfortable seating and umbrellas. Available all year round, it was a busy spot in which to people watch or meet friends. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The hotel also has The View, a lounge where guests can enjoy drinks and snacks and the amazing London skyline views. Formerly the penthouse, which has seen its fair share of film stars and celebrities - including being the location where Take That announced their split in 1996. Located on the tenth floor, the View looks just like another room and is opened with a key card meaning it feels all very speakeasy. It's full of chic seating, including a board room style dining room and fridges of drinks and a range of snacks. There's also a variety of experiences such as how to make the perfect G&T, or mindfulness sessions overlooking Green Park. Worth getting out of bed for Green Park Suite | contributed The Athenaeum is located in Zone 1 in London meaning there are a huge number of things to do right on the doorstep. During my stay I took the opportunity to walk through Green Park to St James Park and soak in the early summer sun, as well as take a close look at Buckingham Palace. I also took a short Tube journey to Angel to visit Scottish Cafe Auld Hag . The hotel is close to Hyde Park Corner meaning it's an ideal spot during BST Hyde Park. The west end is also close by meaning a trip to the theatre - and shopping - is easy. After a day out in this bustling city, a trip to the spa for a treatment or just to unwind in the jacuzzi, sauna or steam room, is a must. Little extras The mini bar was complimentary and included crisps, biscuits, soft drinks and a wide range of tea and a huge number of Nespresso coffee pods. Bottled water was also in abundance and, coupled with the excellent air conditioning, were ideal additions given the very warm weather. There are robes and slippers and a turndown service which included mini Templespa toiletries. If you're bringing a dog , which is £35 extra per night, they'll get the five star treatment with a comfortable dog bed, treats, a bowl and a bowtie to take home. Guestbook comments Located in the heart of Mayfair (nearest tubes are Green Park and Hyde Park Corner) opposite Green Park and moments from Shepherd's Market and Buckingham Palace, the 5-star Athenaeum Hotel & Residences exudes the essence of Englishness: discreet, personal, friendly, interesting, lavish, quirky and down-to-earth. The family-run venue encompasses 134 bedrooms, 10 suites and 14 Townhouse Residences, The Athenaeum restaurant, Bar and four event and conference suites catering for up to 100 people.

American living in UK says he notices 'major difference' when he goes shopping

A man has left Brits in stitches after perusing a "mall", and expressing his shock at the things he found within it. He thinks all shopping centres are like this one An American exploring the UK has called out his homeland for not having shopping centres like those in the UK, because he was mind-blown by one. TikToker @kjordyy, who visits different cities around the United Kingdom to rate them, was visiting the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, and he captioned his video: " are we doing? British malls are genuinely insane". He said that shopping centres in the UK "blow his mind" in comparison to back home, saying that it's "so much more than a shopping experience". "I don't think you truly understand the complexity of these malls," he gushed. ‌ ‌ He said that "first of all", at every shopping centre he'd been in, the architecture was "insane". He went outside, and noted that there was "a moat outside of the mall". He shared that the shopping centre has over 280 shops, a cinema with 17 screens, an outdoor adventure park with a zipline and outdoor skydiving. "Back home in the US, you just don't get that," he shared. "If I were a kid, I just wouldn't leave this place," he gushed, because there were so many things to do. TikToker @kjordyy then decided that he was going to go skydiving, because you couldn't do that in a shopping centre in America. But, when he went, he was told that he was "too heavy" for the skydiving and zip line, so he had to walk away from the activities. He said: "Just the sheer fact that a mall has this, I'm impressed. I'm sad I've got too swole a body for them, but you know what, maybe next time". ‌ In the comments, somebody urged him to "go to the Trafford Centre" because it's impressive. "Especially the ship area with the restaurants," another penned. Someone said that when they went to the Trafford Centre, it "blew their mind". Others reassured him that "Bluewater is not an accurate representation of UK 'malls'." Another said: "Metrocentre used to have an indoor funfair including a rollercoaster!!! It's no longer there now". Some people said that the "internet is ruining shopping centre experiences" because "people are too lazy to go and walk round" these days, but others said that you can't beat going shopping in real life. One woman asked: "Are malls shutting down over there the way they are here? Even our giant mall only has about two stores in it now". "I mean my local one is all outside and has a cinema, like 20 shops and 6 restaurants, but there's better further away," somebody boasted. Somebody in the UK said that their local shopping centre just contains "a Greggs, McDonald's and the absolute bare minimum of stores," assuring the TikToker that this is a one-off.
