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.

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.

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      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

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      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.
