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.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
