That enrages me too, I'm afraid. If they know enough to be aware it's offensive, why not just walk behind me or say excuse me in the first place?


I'm fed up with the idea that saying sorry absolves you of responsibility and makes it as though the thing never happened.

And blokes who sit with their legs wide apart, trying to tell the world that their meat 'n' two veg are so impressively large that they can't close their legs unlike lesser, more poorly-endowed weaklings. Tossers.

"And blokes who sit with their legs wide apart"


I know people regularly cite this as "a thing", but as someone who spends 20 hours a week on trains I almost never ever see it. It seems to have become a real thing just through repetition

On a similar subject, anyone who takes up more than their fare share of the double seat on a train or bus! It's not usually down to their size, since I've sat next to plenty of generously proportioned people who seem to fit in just fine, but also plenty of very slight people who seem to spread themselves out to take up as much space as possible. It's to do with attitude and slouching (spent half an hour on half a seat on the bus this morning, very uncomfortable, but I've got a knee problem at the moment so need to sit rather than stand).

people jabbering away on mobile phones in the quiet carriage


At Salisbury on Saturday 2 different tables started up and let them drone on for ages before I finally had enough and went over to each one and pointed out the signs


the usual frown + "someone has just told me off for ,,, blah blah" - but one stopped and the other left the carriage to continue his chat (for 50 minutes!)


of course, it being 2014 I knew they would be straight on twitter to bitch about me - sure enough a quicj search for "phone train" found me the moans - so it was sweet seeing their faces when they saw my replies. Both had good grace to fess up a smile and grudging "fair enough" reponse


But yeah anyone who calls me a grumpy old got for telling people off on the carriage can do one as well

I'm on the receiving end of this right now, can't put my arm down due to the guy next door spreading out with a magazine and attempting to amuse his girlfriend. Can't be due to genital size by the look of it.

    • Well, Peckham is a real place, whereas 'Bellenden Village' is an estate agent invention, and is topologically meaningless. 
    • Ok, I'll bite. It depends on what you are after (and budget) but our favourite is Forza Wine. We went when it was cold and dark, but it's a rooftop location so should be even better if it's sunny and bright. Link to review below. There's also a recent review on the site of 139 Fika which was pretty good. I'd say it was in Bellenden but they say it's in Peckham (maybe because it makes it sound cooler!). https://open.substack.com/pub/eatsdulwich/p/restaurant-review-forza-wine?r=8oe6m&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

We needed a tricky installation of a thermal store in a tight space. Rob turned up absolutely on time on both visits and got it all done ...  Quote   Private Message 1 month later...   Forest Hill Phil Posted November 17, 2022 Rob Mills, All Aspects Plumbing (07952 584171)   Called out Rob to fix an urgent and clearly visible water leak from the boiler system which he promptly and efficiently fixed. This left a slow leak with no obvious source.   He made an attempt to find it’s source keeping me up-to-date with what he was doing as I looked on. As it was a slow leak this was not successful and Rob took no money for his time at this stage. I was then able, with some telephone guidance from Rob, to record and feed back what was going on in his absence. This was sufficient for him to diagnose a loss of pressure on the air side of the expansion vessel put it right.   Rob is capable, friendly and considerate and keeps you as informed as you want to be without wasting time. I intend to continue call on him for my plumbing and central heating jobs.  Quote   Private Message 1 month later...   The Minkey Posted December 20, 2022 Another recommendation for Rob Mills. My HW failed last week. Rob came round, diagnosed the boiler issue & fixed it. Very quick & efficient. Reasonable rates. Nice guy too. Will definitely be using him as my go to plumber for the future.  Quote   Private Message 4 weeks later...   hendricks Posted January 13, 2023 Another shout out for Rob.
