    I did tell a colleague at work and he said it happens all the time where he lives. I asked where it was and he said Croydon. 

    Felt a bit mean to say 'well that explains it then' but i couldn't help myself.

    Car manufacturers who have decided to line car boots with a material which traps small leaves, twigs, fluff etc so resolutely that even the strongest strong vacuum cannot shift it.

    Given the tories have won very little i would guess if there's a lot of blue it will be Reform

    When you are ironing, and have to work really hard to get the creases out, but if you inadvertantly iron a crease "in", it becomes virtually permanent...

    When you button up the duvet cover and realise you are one button out of sync.
    Worse with a shirt!
    People who aren’t fashion conscious enough to appreciate shirts that come with an extra button at the top and an extra button at the bottom.

    The creep of the American term "standings" in place of "table".

    And while we’re at it, the use of “regular season” or “regulation season” to distinguish it from the play offs.

    It's a mixed bag with day trippers. 

    Had a family of 6 row in front of me (3 adults 3 kids), none interested in the actual game, just chatting and phone playing, up every ten minutes for more drinks and snacks. Left immediately on final whistle. 

    Next to me, young Italian couple immersed in the game, and had both bought Charlton red t-shirts before the game which they were wearing. Also stayed right to the end of Nathan's speech.

    I had loads of scandinavians next to me, and behind me. Quite comical listening to them joining in with the singing without knowing ANY of the words, or ANY of the tune.

    Neighbours, wouldn't wish them on anyone.

    Lazyness.
    Suckers who get taken in by media lies from their preferred outlets, without taking the time and effort to check and verify the facts via multiple outlets and source documents.
    So true, I thought we had found a WW2 bomber on the moon, I was convinced for years until my friend pointed out it wasn't true.

  • The word "Artisan"  when used in connection with trying to flog food and drink.  Near me I have places selling "Artisan tea and coffee to take away" and a takeaway selling "Artisan pizza".

    I would rather they use the phrase "well good" rather than the horrible word "Artisan" !
