Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Sir Trev]

Project managers who keep forgetting to add me to meeting invites so I find out a bit late that I have to be in Harlow on Friday and have to change my car service appointment. And breathe. I've only been here three months so why can't they remember to include me?!

It's London Poppy Day. So far I've travelled from Liverpool Street and now I'm at Waterloo. My gripe is why can't they fill the railway stations with handsome men in military uniform like this every day as it would make my commute far more bearable!

National Express. Their "Tracker service" doesn't work so when there's an accident on the m4 and i've a gig to go to I get annoyed. Jumped on the train and it was half the price. Just had to walk for 10 minutes the other side which i saved 15 minutes on journey time. I will be phoning my credit card company to cancel the payment. Never will I use national express again!

Gripe have to have a MRI on the Sunday.
Kind of why not on a working day so I can skive some time off!

Different regiment at each station and stop on the Underground (I'm in London today as well). I think they have a "bit" of rivalry going over the collection totals as they ignore the fact I already have a Poppy on my jacket and hassle me for another donation. By the time I made it to Old Street I'd run the gauntlet of the RAF and at least three Army units (not sure where the Navy were today).


Best bits? The pipers at Marylebone and the very funny army sergeant at Moorgate who was giulting people in a loud voice if they tried to avoid interacting with him. Best of luck to them all and I hope they fill their buckets by the end of the day.

Yep, Had the same this week at Southwold, on the main road to the pier I was waiting to let a bus through after seeing a LOT of car drivers being so impatience and squeezing their way past all the time and not letting him progress the other way...so I am sitting there waiting (would be maybe another 5 seconds 'til he's through) and a car from behind jumps in front and blocks the f'ing bus so neither go anywhere for the next 20 seconds....there are some real pratts out there that can't see past their bonnets....
