Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Wind. Just about survived my 30 mile ride home across the fens, nearly got blown off the road a couple of times. Had to have a break half way to give my arms a rest.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Parcel farce couldn't deliver a parcel so they dump the parcel at the local post office. When you go online to get them to redeliver at no point does it say they wont redeliver once the parcel has been left at the post office so spend the time waiting in. It wouldn't have been so bad except it cost £35 for the privilege of wasting a day and carting parcel back home. I now know why they provide a special delivery

TBF this wind was forecast, so not the best day to be riding across the flatlands of the Fens

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
It wasn't very pleasant in the car either. Had to wait until the sudden delluge stopped before scuttling in for my interview this morning. Blue skies when I went to leave but the debris on the road was terrible.

My wife told me her latest pair of glasses are going to cost £500!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My wife has a fairly complicated prescription and she gets two pairs for less than that. Mind you she's not that fussy, after all she married me.....

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Drivers in Kington Herefordshire (my home town) who don't either indicate or modulate their speed at junctions, mainly because they are going slow enough to negotiate them. I'm reversing my opinion on a retest after a certain age.
