"As a proud member of UKIP and a leading member on the Ribble Neighbourhood Watch committee, I often struggle to find clothing that's both practical and is passive aggressive to people with a different cultural heritage. My usual collection of tweed jackets with a handkerchief in the breast pocket may well be fashionable, but it doesn't quite tell foreigners to f**k off as much as I wish it would"

How have you not exploded with schadenfreude-induced joy?

Hope this doesn't offend anyone...


When my sister first heard about the poppies at the Tower of London, she misheard and thought they said puppies. We both agreed this is an idea the Tower might like to explore once the exhibition has been taken down.

I don't deny Tesco's service is rather excellent (especially if you have a problem with their online service), I've always found John Lewis's service to be wonderful, also. Even to the point I would actually pay more for stuff (especially white-goods) bought online, as I know it will arrive on time, as ordered and be expertly installed. But I generally don't have to pay more as they usually price match.

I don't use Tesco enough to be able to judge; I just thought it was good they were doing it in an open and straightforward way, including putting the notices just before the till so that you actually focus on the service they give you rather than a general impression of the store.


JL's processes are great, especially refunds, but service on the shop floor can be a bit hit and miss - my experience anyway. I've been to the Oxford St one several times recently and I'm fed up of shop assistants bitching about their colleagues. Also had this in Palmers in Brixton, where I needed some help and caught the eye of an assistant who was mid-character assassination, and she turned her back on me and carried on. Interestingly, all the above were in haberdashery departments - must be something about soft furnishings.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
