Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Littlepeahead]

Carrying loads of heavy bags of soil through the house into the garden. Sitting down to catch my breath and spotting this sack barrow lurking behind a rack of towels on a dying rack. Stu usually keeps it at work.

I assume Iggle and Piggle didn't offer to help?

No, I spent most of the day spring cleaning the house which involved vacuuming up enough cat hair to stuff several pillows. Then about 3 minutes after I'd finished washing and drying the kitchen floor Iggle ran in from the garden and barfed up a fur ball. I swear they do it to get a reaction.

It was quite funny watching both of them sitting alongside the bird feeder yesterday as the starlings scoffed the meal worm block with no fear of them at all. They really think a bird might accidentally fly into their mouth if they sit their long enough.

Sod speed camera's just a mobile number plate reader would generate £'s each day getting these Darwin award winners to walk to the school, whilst dragging their knuckles on the ground.

There's a couple of habitual bad parkers at Libby's school one in particular that always blocks most of the pavement on the corner of the T junction, then he has to stand with his kid right in front of the school entrance so his kid is first in.
Then the press the woman who always parks on the zigzags no matter if it means she's blocking the road or not, another one is a woman who must get to school at least half an hour before kicking out time so she can park as close as possible and he last one drives to school despite only living a short walk away. Often when we're walking to school we'lol see her pulling out of her road and we still get to school before her

Now that is crazy

Privately owned schools in these parts take this stuff seriously and make the parents behave... If the parents don't like it they can take their kids home for a couple of weeks or somewhere else permanently. It is simple and elegant.

There's a village near me where the road is narrow outside the school. I was held up one day while woman loaded her kid into her 4x4. I followed her as she drove a 100 yards down the road and pulled in outside her house.

Got a cold.
