Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Public transport. Just got back from my annual visit to London to meet up with my old uni friends and the trains were a joke. Half the services cancelled so everything that did run was dangerously...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I'm guessing your tax runs out end of Dec then Gary, although it is still a bit early to send out a reminder, unless they think people will forget in the chaos of most folk's Chrimbo.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

My daughter has a Yaris (1 year old on lease) and it is a very nice car. I'd prefer something a smidge bigger for the longer journeys I do so the Corolla estate is a possible for me next.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I've had covid jabs the last two years but I'm now deemed not at risk, despite my age, so I don't qualify for another booster. I've not even heard yet about the annual flu jab so I'm wondering if...

Fudging bicycle shop... I went in yesterday and asked for a 28x2.15 inner tube, ie what's written on the tyre. He sold me a 28 x upto 1.75, saying it will expand and fit. Utter liar. It won't push...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Several villages in Oxfordshire are now 20 limits... Utter pain in the proverbial on the commute as most people ignore it and get grumpy/tailgate when you comply.
