Because they're a shower of utter bastards, Caron.

They have no organisation about them when it comes to oncoming pedestrians, and I've lost count of the number of times I've had to climb onto the top shelf of a narrow aisled shop in order to avoid getting an 'ankling'.

As for 'Percy', I'm not sure about prams, but I'm a great admirer of the Led Zeppelin singer, and I'm sure you like me, wish him all the best.

It's more like saying a mini driver has a considerate little car, whereas a Range Rover driver is inconsiderate by taking up half the road. It's the same with prams. There are small contraptions that don't seem to get in the way and the huge 4x4 people carriers! That's what gets my back up - not the babies or the mothers, just the over-sized contraptions with the big off-road wheels! Why are those needed in London!?

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
