Z list celebrities and smug daytime tv presenters with zero talent putting the world to rights from the comfort of their cosy little London based TV job. Yawn. I'm especially thinking of This Morning and Loose Women here. Awful pointless shows.


Louisa.

When websites change to tablet-friendly format and dumb down in the process, in this case TFL. I don't need a picture of a little bus driving along to show me that it's finding the results, thanks, I'm a grown-up.
Bus passengers who refuse to sit down even when seats are available and instead stand in the aisle or at the door, preventing other, more reasonable passengers, to move down or get off. Is it a recent phenomenon? I never used to see so many seat-refuseniks.

I think most people guilty of this have a fear of being trapped/closed in.


e.g. you are sitting next to the window, the bus is packed, you ring the bell.

The person next to you has to get up to let you out, they can't get up because there are people standing in the aisle. They attempt to get up, but other people are also trying to get off. People are coming down the stairs pushing & shoving adding to the confusion.

The driver just wants to close the doors & move on as quickly as possible. He doesn't care about people still trapped in seats, at the back, upstairs still trying to reach the door.


Doors close, stop missed. I rest my case.


Yes, I'm one of those annoying people who stand by the doors. With good reason.

No, it's selfish and delays others - the driver has to stare into his mirror at every stop just to check you're not getting off. Please don't do it.

Well, everyone would get their stake back. Or use the pot for a collective wreath.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
