Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That brought back a memory of my dad doing just that.
We were in the car one day and he forgot he had to turn left until it was almost too late, but that didn't stop him yanking on the wheel and throwing the car at full speed sharp left without any warning. The amusing thing is that ever since then our family has called that type of manouvre after the place he did it. It's a Wormelow Tump. I apologise to you on his behalf. |

Wormelow is just down the road from me! My great uncles lived at St. Weonards until last year.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I bought a pair for £150 two years ago then seven days later squashed then with a box full of paperwork. So it was practically£300 for a pair!

The Specs Factory for me. One eye long sighted, the other short sighted. Varifocals and photochromic coating. 2 new frames including one set with standard lenses. All for around £200.

The BBC news main story being the mistake at the Oscars!
They have lost the plot when it comes to reporting the news, they are in LA LA Land.

Who is interested in Oscars anyway, far too political and politically correct for its own good. Who wants to hear the whining of the loony left luvvies because their darling Hillary didn't win white house, she could get best actress Oscar though.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Exactly and they were British kids too, that's a home news story. The Oscars story should have been relegated to the comedy item, no more important than that
