It's not always what it seems. My dad was in a wheelchair and we had a blue badge for him. We had parked the car and gone into a shopping centre, but came out a different door. So, I left dad with mum, and walked back around and moved the car to the new door, parked in the disabled bay (as we are allowed) and went inside to fetch him. Halfway across the footpath I suddenly figured, "if anyone is watching this..."

I actually experienced this last night... the look the woman gave me when politely (I know, I try!) asked to move her bag... and all I could think about was this thread the rest of the way home!


I that two or three rages there?


No wonder why I don't like people! :-|

That drives me nuts too Jah.


Don't know why so many British people were using 'mom' on mother's day either, spotted a particularly nauseating example on a friend's Facebook timeline (by his sister, not him). They are from Birmingham, not the one in Alabama.

People using Americanisms doesn't bother me in the slightest - language is cross-pollinating all the time. Americans use brit phrases too


there was never a time when language was "nailed down" and that's the version we should be using - that way lies madness!


All part of the give and take

I'm aware of that, having a non visual disability myself, and working in the field for the last 12 years.


BUT


I'm 99.9999% sure the woman that did it yesterday was just a lazy cow, and I'm 100% certain that all the people that do it don't have disabilities.

"drives me nuts"


An early example of this phrase can be seen written in The Bilioxi Daily Herald, a newspaper printed in 1884. The idiom is written under an advice column, where people could write in asking a woman named Ann Landers for advice:

I quite like it - typically Aussie and often used when someone is late and doesn't care (ime) as in "when did you rock up?"


Reminds me of another Aussie saying I like - "Rack off!" (I think I got that from Joe Mangel).

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END.

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
