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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
