Room 101

Alioop... I have an amazing tool, from any hardware shop, which helps open all those bottles. really recommend getting one

Child proof lids - why can't we buy bottles with senior friendly lids?
Wokery
Littering
The idea that there are over a hundred different genders currently being being taught in schools - stop indoctrinating our children!
The protesting idiots that block the roads/airports etc who stop the rest of us getting on with our lives
Companies still using Covid as an excuse for poor service
Spiders!

I have turned into a grumpy old woman as so many things irritate me.
1. Lazy misuse of the English language. eshpeshally links on the TV. Don't yah fink?
Long live regional accents for our own regions
2 The person who does not live on our road and brings his rubbish to our bins. Yesterday a large black bag was put in the paper bin which says on top "Paper and cardboard only. No plastic bags" The council then puts a notice on the bin saying pay £75 for a special collection.
3 The booze shops which put tables and chairs blocking the pavement and on the road in parking bays.
(Yes there is occasionally a dry day to sit out in the north)

I have a fear of metal coat hangers- sounds daft I know but I swear they reproduce in my wardrobe. They then get all tangled up and become impossible to separate.I honestly hate them!

Any bottles that you have to squeeze the lids in at the sides and then push down to open, like some bleach bottles, Toilet Duck bottles, etc. I know it's so children can't open them, but I'm 56 years old and can't open the darn things either.

Sorry to be a pedantic bore, BlueBelle but the misuse of the term Room 101 really gets on my goat!
Orwell’s Room 101 contained what you were most scared of.
In Winston Smith’s case it was rats.

And that's the truthththth! Let's open up that unused ROOM 202 eh!?
My contribution, snobs! Oh and dental floss that isn't! It gets jammed between the peggies and you need another tool to extract it!! Grrrr!

I don't think Fanny Cornforth was rude at all, just intelligent

Another Tory government especially with Truss in charge.

Companies who make you press button a,b,c,d,e,f and g before telling you they are experiencing a high volume of calls at the moment and you are number x in the queue.

I’d like to throw in Room 101 my best friends mobile phone because she’s always on it looking at Facebook and in advance people who are prepared to go out of their way to report their neighbours for using a hosepipe.

Blossoming my DH is allergic to wasps so I agree with you. I had to surround us with citronella so we could enjoy a drink in the garden the other night.

Celebraties who nobody except their nearest and dearest know .
Philip schofield and Holly fed up of seeing them .

Cockroaches
Mosquitoes
Food Poisoning

( FC I have never known you to be rude)

The word “unprecedented” - bandied about all the time theses days.

Arguments

Can we please chuck in arguments

It takes at least 2 people to have an argument and even if the subject matter is really important to someone, people who just like a good argument will find a way to bring it down to their level.

Or just people who think their superior point of view mens they don't have to listen or understand anyone else

Throw them all in

World would be a better place

Sticky labels that don't come off..
Cards, books, flowers anything you want to give as a gift and the thing is stuck on with glue that would hold up a elephant... what's wrong with a bar code.

Bad manners.
Litter louts.

In the spirit of both Orwell’s room 101 and the TV programme of that name, I would put wasps in room 101. I’m allergic to the little b******s and they have made many a sunny August unbearable for me.

Knitting patterns that require an i-cord - why can't I get the hang of such an apparently simple thing?!!
(Guess what I was doing yesterday!!)

Hoax callers and fraudsters of all kinds scare me because they are so clever and manipulative. I would dearly like to consign them all to a permanently locked room, 101 TV programme style.

Wokery!

Bluebelle I know exactly what you mean and describe about those squeezy bottles. I never normally use them but did buy a mayonnaise one for a picnic. It acted exactly like you described when it came back home with me. However, I purchased some long, thin flexible spoon type things that I could poke into this container and get to the stuff left at the top (bottom). These are also great for using in jam/marmalade jars, etc.

I do remember the Room 101 of Orwellian 1984 and always knew that (with me) it would be spiders. Do think I would have said anything they wanted me to say, if I was threatened with a room of these.

Not rude FannyC - straightforward, often very funny and generous.

Oh Witzened golden syrup I made the mistake of buying a golden syrup squeezy Never again I duly stood it on its end when I d used it obviously hadn’t clicked the top firmly enough until I saw it dribbling through the cupboard door
never never again
I agree about the heat thing Iam64 we normally get about one week or two if we re lucky and everyone goes on and on the country practically comes to a stop, dire warnings that
we re all about to die I can’t imagine how they manage in Greece and Spain
Never heard of Charlie Makesy now off for a Google

Here’s another Cookery programmes surely we re in overload now

Dermot O’Leary’s voice.
Nothing against the bloke, but I can’t understand most of what he says.
He seems to breathe in while he’s speaking. And whispers at the end of sentences.
