Do the sentences 


  She might be only 28, but Jodie
  Whittaker....


and


  My parents would have walked along the
  Barrow


wrongly suggest doubt, or are they normal usage? Are there names for these constructions?
Taken from Irish Times .



I googled "would have spent their time". 
Many cases were counterfactuals ("... otherwise they would have spent their time...”)
But plenty simply describe past events, as the in the usage sited above.
I couldn't detect a regional bias.
As an Irish-English speaker this usage is unremarkable for example I might say


  This is the exact spot where Caesar
  would have crossed the Rubicon


I think the intention is to evoke the event rather than just record it.


Question: How should I store leftover rice noodles?
Answer: How are you eating them? For me, reheating these noodles automatically overcooks them and I can never get a good consistency out of repeats. I use leftover noodles one of two ways: in a salad or dropped in soup. For the former, I toss the leftovers in olive oil and store them in the fridge. The oil keeps a protective seal around the noodles so they keep their tooth. The next day, I chop some fresh vegetables and mix in the noodles, and season. In soup, there's no need to prepare them, just drop refrigerated noodle clusters in hot water and they separate. The result is soft noodles, which may not be your preference.
