Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
They are not meant to be on my line but no one stops them. There are rules about folding bikes but they still take up loads of space.

I got a touch up from another bus this morning and spent the last hour at the cop shop. No damage, no injury, but he made contact with a 30-40kph speed difference, so it was still a very close call. Police indicated that this is the sort of thing they'll go after with a vengeance because there is video to go with the report... none of the usual he says blah, blah. They're all as bad as each other and I wouldn't single out any particular demographic for special treatment. It sounds bigoted and that is **worse** IMO than anything I see or experience on the roads. EDIT: The last comment shouldn't be taken the wrong way...

Who do you think you are? Me! I regularly abandon the Asda trolley and staff know I do. I have even put stuff on the checkout and when It goes tits up walk out leaving them to put it all back. Last time it was because my jute Asda's own bag was too heavy for the self service checkout. I wouldn't use the place apart from it being about half a mile away and Tesco/Sainsbury are about 4 miles away.

Some flucking idiot undertaking me using the hard shoulder of the A12 this afternoon, just to get one car length ahead

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Shops that have a tannoy and call for a cashier when the queue is huge, but the shop is only the size of my shed.
It's like they're the size of a Tesbury extra. |
