Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Getting caught up in the central London fire. I'd been at the British Museum, got to Holborn and the police stopped me going anywhere. Tube closed, all power off, thick smoke. Was stuck there nearly an hour. Took some interesting photos though.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The dirty, slovenly sh1tebags who think it's okay to lob their rubbish into the verges and the road sides around here. A large part of it is locals too. There is one particular alcoholic scumbag who heaved cheap crap beer cans out of their car windows every day. On my walk with the dog this morning I counted around 20 Carlsberg and Carling cans thrown out and from the condition of them, all within the last week. On one section of the walk every 8 -10 paces there was a can, a plastic bottle, sweet wrapper, junk food container. We live in a fairly out of the way area, and while visitors certainly do chuck crap out into the scenery, most of this is locally generated. As for the farm waste - my walk was a trail of silage wrap in trees, the river, and hedges, feed tubs, fertiliser sacks, empty livestock medication bottles, and two rotting sheep carcasses. Very handy for spreading gid between the livestock. Custodians of the countryside eh?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I see it all the time on my cycle rides, especially on a quiet lane where all the dodgy trades people dump their trade waste, rather than pay landfill tax.
But the one thing I really hate seeing are 'Mountain Dew' bottles, which you can see miles off, discarded on the verges

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
How about the stupidity of picking up your dog poo in a bag, then...
Chucking it into the hedge! FFS! Pete

But at present I would love to be able to pick up. Just taken Jasper and Jack out, 3 lots of bloody doggy diarrhea gushed out of Jasper, one on the pavement and the mobile chip van nearby gave me a bucket of disinfected water to swill it into the drain. Ended up carrying him home as he couldn't walk and putting him to bed with extra blankets. time for that chat I think.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Going into the Post Office in town, which is now the only post office for miles as they've closed all the small ones. 15 people in the queue ahead of me at least and one window open out of 10. After 15 minutes I gave up and took my parcel to a small corner shop and used their returns service. Perhaps if the Post Office actually bothered to staff the counters people would use them.
