Room 101..what would you put in...

So many things/people. At the moment, it would have to be all these stupid people who have been queuing for hours at Costa, in order to buy an over-priced coffee from a drive-through. Pathetic.

I never quite got the point of the show, as room 101 was the torture chamber in George Orwell’s 1984, he named it after a conference room at the BBC where Orwell would have to sit through tortuously boring meetings.

The idea of Room 101 was that it contained your absolute utmost fears, where you would be threatened with something so terrible that you can’t bear it, can’t even think about it. Until you are forced to gasp 'don't do it to me do it to somebody else' even naming your nearest and dearest.

The show just looks at things people dislike, not that they are terrified of, but I suppose it makes entertainment.

It does rather feel as though we are now living in 1984, in George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future, the government controls the individual by suppressing individual happiness and freedom through a combination of manipulation and fear. The Thought Police are always present and able to watch everybody all the time and see into their minds. With cameras and microphones placed everywhere, the Thought Police watch every move of the citizens 24/7. Children are encouraged to report their parents to the authorities for the slightest crime, and it is your duty to inform on your neighbours. Ring any bells?

People who deliberately drink to excess.

B9 - 1984 plus a large chunk of Brave New World!

Plus a good bit of Animal Farm!

Extending dog leads. Americanisms.

Bullies from any sphere of life
People who hurt children or animals
Laura Kuessenberg ( sorry not sure of the spelling)

Good grief. I would put CORONAVIRUS in Room 101. The most obvious of all!

My neighbours who once again had about nine people in their garden at lunchtime!!!!

I agree with MARIELLA. Cyclists on pavements especially those who come up behind you and expect you to know they are there. Not only no bells but often no lights. They are deadly.

Can I have another option please Piers Morgan

Irresponsible dog owners who don’t pick up their dog’s poo.

Yes of course Chestnut it has a room all of its own.

Underwired bras. In fact all bras, horrid but necessary things.

Minimoon, I'm with you on the bras and am now exercising without. Really going to try and keep it up over the summer. Never wear one in winter. I also agree about the cyclists. Can I add a certain president and a certain pm to the list?

MiniMoon ? no!

Never wear one in winter mimismo ?

Corner base kitchen cupboards,!mine seems to be an abyss,where I can't get to anything at the back of it without forming some sort of contortion?

I would put in all people who can't write a sentence, however serious, without putting lol after it!

Apart from THAT virus, I would put the Mayor of Bristol and his council in it. Why, Because at the start of the virus crisis they voted in a huge pay increase for themselves, many times more than the rate of inflation, and put up the council tax. This at a time when decent officials, such as NZ's prime minister,took a voluntary 20% pay cut in solidarity with those suffering as a result of the crisis. This mayor and council has skipped the re-election process for this year because of the crisis and should that have gone ahead, may well not have been in post it. They are, in my view, therefore UNelected and have done this through deceit. When asked in public fora about this, he refuses to answer. Sorry for the rant - many Bristolians feel the same way.

My husband, soon to be my ex, thank goodness.

I'd also put my bras in but then I might trip up!! LOL ? ?

Except for Barclays Bank i agree with you all.
Lets hope the room is big enough.

People who feed pigeons.
People who cycle on the pavement.

People who spit in the street
