As discussed with a not unlimited amount of bile in the half time of ladies football.


Just to get started....


Personally I hate it when you buy reduced items in the supermarket then they go through at full price meaning a) you have to highlight your cheapness to the operator and probably a superviser as well, or b) you end up with something you didnt really want but bought it because it is cheap and you have to eat it that very day (filled with resentment)


The trend for male genital shaving, stop it, stop it right now - I have experienced it a number of times this year and I just dont like it. If I wanted to caress a kiwi fruit I would go to the supermarket (probably in the reduced section)


Modern sandwiches, too much choice full stop. Enter sandwich shop, am stunned by rocket, brie, tapanade, honey roast breaded smoked ham so end up with Tuna and Sweetcorn to avoid filling meltdown. Tuna and fecking sweetcorn.

My gripe has to be child related, and I am a little reticent to write this, as being a non-parental, and can only imagine in my worst nightmares what it?s like. But...


Kids in Sainsburys!!!


All I want to do is go in there and trundle about with my mini-trolley, music on, my list in hand and do my shopping. But you just can?t seem to move for kids. But it?s not all kids in general that are the problem, it?s the fact that they just scurry about, crashing all over the place like it?s an indoor Goose Green Climbing Park!


Only the other day I had some little thing go crashing into my trolley (I was stationary) only to have her father glare at me as though I had hurt his poor precious. This was the same ?brat? had spent the last 30 minutes since I had been in Sainsburgs screaming ?I want..., No, I want...!? and running down aisles.


I know it?s hard to control kids, especially multiple kids. But these kids seem to think they own Sainsbury?s and it?s their own personal gym.


I would like to write more, but I think I might get a restraining order.

People who loose keys rather than lose them. The words even sound different!


The announcer at Denmark Hill who says that any train not stopping 'is not for customer use'. Actually, nine out of ten times it is. It's full of passengers. It's just 'not scheduled to stop at this station'.


Kiwi fruit... hmmm, I'm obviously meeting less fastidious blokes then!

"Some on here would consider that a result rather than an annus horribilis." Haha - indeed..


Kids running amok in places of business pisses me right off tbh - unless it's a creche of course. I was on a train one time with some pest of a parent whose child divided his journey between sitting in the luggage rack making the automatic doors openandcloseandopenandclose, crawling the length of the carriage under the seating emerging between people's feet, and marching up and down the corridor shouting 'the bigger it gets, the louder it is', right into people's faces. The mother was absolutely outraged to be told by the ticket collector to please restrain her child. 'Come along, Taliesin, some nasty people don't want you to have fun'. Taliesin, ffs..!

May as well shut the whole forum down then hadn't we ;-)

I hadn't realised this was such a trend, until a while back when it came up (no pun intended) in conversation, and 3 of my good friends admitted they did it, saying "it makes you look bigger". I think there is something rather disturbing about it.

There is, there is! Too much porn going on, that's what I blame it on Keef. First time I encountered it was on an ex (who was a porn journalist as it goes). But what with all this redpages and the like, people are getting carried away.


Men of Britain, take heed. We're not fooled into thinking it's bigger just because it scratches us to pieces. Stop it!

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
