Alan Partridge (also popularity of Miranda, British Bake Off and the like. Most TV progs actually)


Candy Crush.


Golf. Just why?


YSL Touche eclat and Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick. Utterly useless products that everyone raves about.


Hair straighteners. I have boring straight hair. One of my friends has pretty much the same 'style' of hair as me. She offered to 'straighten' my hair whilst I was round at hers getting ready to go out. Mystified. I just don't 'get' this craze at all. Esp if your hair is not remotely curly.


Modern jazz.


Those Meerkats.


Cannabis.


Orla Kiely/ Cath Kidston stuff faux twee/vintage.


Body piercing.


Birkenstocks.


Bacon on a burger.


"Chick" Lit. Esp the phrase itself. Ugh.


Lists (thank you Jah) ;-)

We used to drink a particular cough mixture by the bottle. That was after I tried acid.

Well, let's see. One night, when Mummy and Daddy were very much d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶ in love, Daddy put his thingy in Mummy's front bottom and, er, now let me just think..

Not toasters, unless they come in the form of a pop-up event, cafe etc.

Pibe... no audio at work... but the video alone is pretty cringeworthy.


I would actually nominate Range Rovers - particularly pimped-out ones sporting after market body kits and badges such as "Overfinch". Just horrible, horrible things for people devoid of taste.

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
