Speaking myself as an Archers character who died in about 1973 and observing Ambridge from my place in heaven, I am horrified that the Archer family now "boasts" one of the most appalling spoil brat know-alls, namely Pipsqueak, not to mention her bloody mother who sounds like she is auditioning for the remake of "When The Boat Comes In"

What about Brian? He and Matt are my favourites, tho' in real life I would hate their ruthless capitalist styles.


Another thing that I can't stand. "Bored of" rather than "bored with".


Also "I was like where were you? And she was like I was at Uni today."


"I'm SO over her!"

Brian can be entertaining but his manner is too inflammatory to listen to calmly for long.


Another one: people, generally women, pronouncing an E as an A, usually with a slight drawl, presumably to sound posher.


'Can I gat the bast and of nack of laaamb?' as someone is probably saying right now in William Rose.


Irritating.

For a second, e-dealer, I thought that you were suggesting that Brian had been to the vet for the unkindest cut of all. But all he lost was the chairmanship of Borchester Land, tho' I suspect that his designs on Annabelle's body are now over.

I'm not sure this qualifies as a 'tiny little thing', but here goes.


I have a Dustbuster, about four or five years old. The rechargeable battery in it is dying, so I had a look online for a new battery pack. Found it - ?33.99. A bit steep I thought, so how much is a whole new dustbuster? ?34.99.


No wonder we are such a consumer society.

Receiving a letter thanking me for "taking the time to respond to the HS2 blah blah blah..."


I didn't take the time to do anything of the sort, but obviously a person I know who is heavily involved in the anti-HS2 campaign has felt it's fine to use my name and address without asking.


Grrrr. In fact, I think my rage is rational?

People whose inflection rises as they reach the end of a sentence - apart from Australians of course who are allowed to. I think that it was watching "Neighbours" that caused people who were kids at the time to talk this way.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
