It annoys me too but I can envisage situations where it might be deemed necessary e.g waiting for a skip or moving van.

I hate people at pedestrian crossings that continuously press the button as if the lights are going to change quicker for them.


Also when waiting for a lift when people have seen you press the button, they press it again. Or even if they don't see you press the button, do they think you are that stupid to just stand there without pressing it so they feel the urge to press the button anyway!!

RE The wheelybins, you could just move them back on to the pavement. I would. It's a liberty.


RE the crossibgs, at many crossibfs the button doesn't actually do anything, it's just there to give people the sense that the traffic will be stopped at some point.

Benugo. We have a captive one at work and they put huge amounts of salt and/or cream in almost everything. They actually add salt to their ham sandwiches as 'it's part of the recipe' - there's already salt in the bread, the ham, the mustard and the mayonnaise, and then they add a big pinch on top.

buying "expensive" ones are just as bad... minus the justification "well they were cheap what did I expect"

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
