This one's not that much of an annoyance, but it is petty: people who don't remove the stickers from the bottom of a new pair of shoes.


Yes, we can in fact all see the stickers when you're walking despite their being on the bottom of your shoe. And yes, it does make you look a bit silly. And lazy/forgetful/generally a little bit slack.

Are you never tempted to talk to these so called men like they were ikkle wikkle babies? Just to see how it goes down. Your post reminds me of the episode of Sex In The City where Samantha's squeeze baby talks in bed and she finds herself unable to, erm, enjoy herself.

Conformists who write phone numbers thus - 020 8xxx xxxx, or 020 7xxx xxxx.

As a traditionalist I've just got used to "ROD" becoming "701" before we start on the myriad of prefix changes...

In fact what have been the changes in Inner London since the glorious 1960's..starting with the letters..like "ROD"..?

Anyone?

After "rod" then "701" there was "071" then "0171" then "020" split between "0207/0208" now its "020 7701".

BRI (which was the Brixton exchange) became 274 and TOW (Townley) became 693. Both good Dulwich numbers by the way. God I'm getting old.


Back to petty annoyances though - people constantly rabbiting on the phone and not just on public transport which really does my head in. For instance, I have a girl in the office who is constantly talking fatuous boring crap all day long to her friends and family and I really don't want to hear it thank you very much.

      Jags Swimming pool Temperature

      By EDLORDER · Posted

      Interesting, because I've been going throughout the past few years with different sets of kids and the parents i'm with have always said it's cold. Also spoke to a couple in passing the past weekend and one even said that's why she never brings her 18 month old because it's too cold. Thanks for your feedback. Maybe it's the room temperature that's throwing me off. But the showers are way definitely way warmer than the pool itself.

      Post office or Thorpe Park???!

      Twice this month I’ve used the PO upstairs at the old WH Smith’s in Forest Hill. Very helpful and efficient with no long wait. But it’s sods law with post office queues, you just never know.

      I took an item for tracking to Los Angeles having paid postage and customs fee already online to Family Stores in Upland Road. They printed label and custom form from a QR code and all good, present has arrived, and there was no queue. ETA Actually the main reason I posted this is to reassure those who are put off sending gifts to the US because of all the tariff business, like I was, that it is very straightforward
