Because unless it's a UK website, why should the UK be a default choice?

We're a f-ing tiny island, FFS :))

[KalamityKel]

perhaps its a uk "based" website he's referring to?

Well the thing is they can tell from your ip so they could easiliy point at the right answer - with a few exceptions.

You are in a queue at a supermarket pretty soon it will be your turn why not have your purse / wallet out ready?

[stacey-lyn]

Maria Sharapova's shrieks. For the love of christ.

[the-e-dealer]

Once youve got you purse out why not try and estimate how much the bill will be and have the money ready!

Discount cheese

It's like a dairy version of DFS. Is Cathedral whatever dooh daah ever at full price?

Stupid Mail Shots where they address you by your first and middle name because the f*ckwits thats set it up didnt realise some people have middle names.

[KidKruger]

people with middle names - that's posh.

And stupid estate agents' junk mail addressed to "The Homeowner". They might as well put: "Please put me straight into the recycling."

[KidKruger]

I had one of those yesterday in red ink saying something like "Homeowner - CONFIDENTIAL", it was someone saying how they could sell my house in a couple of weeks. Totally unneccessary use of red ink IMO - got me worried for a while..

'unnecessary use of red ink' is a great entry to this thread.

anyway, you're queuing for the loos as both are occupied and by god, you've waited bloody AGES then someone pops in just like that and insouciantly joins the queue. Then both occupants of the loos finish at the same time giving the person behind IMMEDIATE access to a loo that you've had to wait ages for.

Oh, and you've chosen the one without any tissue left and a faulty lock on the door.

The express self checkout thing

I'm fine with it, i've developed near ninja skills

But, fuk bones with a purse, mobile and a child to ignore takes ONE hand to scan & put the stuff on the packing shelf. Not in the bags provided, but on the packing shelf, then tries to pay, then calls someone, then answers their phone, then wankily packs the stuff in a bag at sub zero speed

All the while ignoring the child who's been leaning on the shelf fekkin up the scale thing in the first place. Lastly your child doesn't need to wear an oversized puffa coat, or eat a jumbo packet of Haribo's at 10 am, whilst you're still in your pyjamas but wearing massive false eyelashes (unstuck at the corner)

I'm sure it's not exclusively a Sydenham thing

Oh dear netty. I think a small drink and a lie down are required.

You'd think so, tho only if the STUPID people over the road DIDN'T let their horrible fat dog bark in the garden at 4 am.

The increasing ubiquity of Emilie Sande.

Shiny white cars with black grille, trim etc. They look plasticky and pseudo-aggressive in a crap Star Wars stormtrooper sort of way. And they're bloody everywhere!

[KalamityKel]

They are?

The good thing is they are virtually invisible in snow so many of them will be killed off in Winter!
