People who stand waiting for the traffic to stop as you arrive at a crossing, although none of them have actually pushed the bloody button.

People who assume that trains in India have people on the roofs, they don't

At least that is (very) slightly more useful than the constant announcements of "Please do not forget to take your personal belongings with you when you leave the train". Has that announcement helped anyone, ever? Who needs reminding of that? They may as well have an announcement of 'please do not forget to breathe whilst leaving the train.'

To be fair, though, lots of things get left on trains and buses.


So that may reduce the number slightly.

Oh, Sue. A useless announcement made 1000s - possibly 10s of thousands - of times daily, just in the vain hope that someone, somewhere might remember their umbrella?


You are thinking like them... people who are paid to find very poor solutions to virtually non-existent problems.

People, especially those in small cars who will wait and only use the petrol pump that is on the side of their car that the petrol cap is on. THE HOSE IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH OVER AND WE CAN ALL GO ABOUT OUR DAY A LITTLE QUICKEr. *see also those that don't drive to the empty pump nearest the kiosk when it's free. Just stop at 1st one. Idiots.

Yes to all of these - although I've seen plenty of times when the bit by the doors on the train is rammed but the people in the corridor between the seats have plenty of room and could easily bunch up and let the people nearer the doors move down.


I'll also add able bodied people who insist on sitting on the outside seat on trains and make you clamber over them to sit down and people who when they are sitting outside you on the bus don't get up to let you off but just swing their legs sideways. And in the latter case I am talking about people who have managed to make it upstairs so clearly capable of standing up.


Also what's with people playing music out loud rather than via their headphones on public transport? Never the kind of music I would want to listen to either.

Asking for 2 breast isn't haggling is it?....asking for a friend!

Nah. And saying "No drumstick!" is perfectly exceptable. It's the "Oi boss, boss, give an extra wing with that yeah?"


As I say, that is acceptable behaviour in many a chicken shop, but not KFC. You don't see people demanding an extra nugget in Maccas.

    • Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
