Evening all, not sure if this has been done before, or that there may be a similar thread, but here we go;

1) Supermarkets who make their parking spaces just that little bit too small to get ones trolley between cars, meaning that one has to wheel the trolley around and approach from the rear.

2) Bloody silly use of "yourself" or "myself" when either "you" or "me" would be fine. (recent example in a letter, "If you have any queries, do please feel free to get in touch with myself" Aaaaaarrrrgh!

Dear train companies & airlines,
Please can you train your staff to make proper public announcements? I can't bear it when crew members make announcements and they clearly aren't paying any attention to what they're actually saying. They pause mid-sentence, laugh with their mates, adopt the sing song voice - and then put the wrong emphasis on - etc etc.
If you need passengers to know anything, please give crew members a script and ask them to read it out in a normal voice. Should take 2 minutes. Thanks.

She'll pee everywhere. Well she does that anyway, poor old dear, but usually on the horrible, but washable laminate floor in the utility room which will be replaced once we have finished decorating. Most other rooms have carpet, some of which I intend to keep.

I don't think Bags was suggesting you locked puss outside, just exclude her from the hall grin

Sorry, I thought I was on the last page when I posted. Never mind the cat being senile, I think I am on the way.
