Things which annoy or puzzle you on telly or in films

There is always a parking space available right where they need to stop, and they often just leave the car at a crazy angle.

Why do the property seekers on some of the house hunting programmes always arrive on foot? Why not park closer?

Why does nobody know how to use a knife and fork correctly any more?

Why is Max Branning always seen sideways on?!

How many bedrooms do they have in those little houses in Coronation Street? They have so many different people living there. Why is Underworld the only garment factory in Lancashire not to have relocated to the Far East?

And why does nobody seem to actually do any machining in Underworld? They're always just fiddling with a pair of knickers while gossiping away...

How do the female doctors in Casualty always look so pristine in their glamorous outfits and why do they never fall off their stilleto heels? I am of course meaning the consultant grade - most of the others wear suitable shoes like Crocs!

Our main grip is not being able to hear clearly. This probably says more about our hearing and thank goodness for subtitles.
Number two is overly complicated plots in dramas. Usually dozens of characters which you need a pencil and paper to jot down who's who and what is their part in the plot. Do try to keep up though as feel it is good for the grey matter.

And when Martin Lewis on the Money Programme has members of the public phoning telephone/utility/whatever companies to haggle for discounts, they get through straight away, whereas when I tried to follow suit I was told I was in a queue and was No. 27. Are they just acting on the Money Programme? Is it all a fix?

I have always wondered that too Daddima 'I'll see you in the pub later' with no time etc. They also come out of their houses to chat to someone and the door closes and they have nothing in their hands, ie a key to get back in. Also in the Rovers the men ask for 'a pint'. A pint of what I wonder - lager, cider, bitter, mild, Guinness? Also in the days when most people had house phones, the phone would ring and they would look at it for a few minutes before answering it.

And it's always broad daylight in Emmerdale and Coronation street, even though there's just been a wild stag night or similar!

I hate when they just take a sip of a drink (usually wine) or a bite of food then leave the rest. That would never happen in my world!

Nor mine rockgran

Why do so many of their phone conversations end without anyone saying "goodbye"?

Why does nobody ever go to the loo?

Why, in radio dramas, do they have to make disgusting noises to show that they are eating or drinking? When we started listening regulalrly in the late 70s it seemed to be possible for them to indicate eating or drinking quite politely!

And in Coronation street they buy, sell and rent out properties virtually overnight.

How do they get calls on their mobiles from people they haven't had any previous contact with.
When they are struggling to cope financially how can they afford to go to the cafe for a cuppa instead of going home

Who is babysitting all the babies?

Why are there so many doctors in Casualty, high heels, crocs or whatever?
We sat in a MAU yesterday for six hours and saw one lovely young doctor rushed off her feet and another (male) one sauntering around looking very relaxed.

Why does nobody get to eat more than a few forkfuls of food before they are called away?

How is their hair so perfect?

How do they wake up in the morning with a face ful of make up perfectly done?

Why does everybody sleep in a sexy vest top and thong/french knickers/boxers

Why do couples wake up in the morning and instantly become amorous (to put it politely), when all I want when I wake up is a wee?

And why do the women look so good when they wake up callgirl no bed hair or dribble.

A wee and a cup of tea callgirl

Anyone can always park right at the front of Holby City hospital.
Also why do people hug cushions so much in dramas?

Oh yes, all that parking outside hospitals!!

"You can drop off, but then you have to go for 7.34 miles to the hospital car park and walk back love, sorry".

Why does no one ever say "Hang on, I'll just nip to the loo"? Says she who needs the loo wherever she goes

Why does nobody in a soap ever watch television? National sporting events, royal weddings and so on never get a mention.
