I indeed witnessed this yesterday evening in Camberwell. What was more disturbing was the state of the gentleman's toe nails *shudders*

I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise!

Worse - parents who sit their happily whilst their little darling plays a game with the sound on. Teach them good manners FFS.

Passing a Money Shop in Forest Hill on the bus, I was astounded to see a large sign in the window offering short-term loans at 2961% APR.


I thought I must have misread it, but I've just looked up their website, which says:


Representative example: ?200 Loan. Total amount repayable in a single payment of ?259.98 in 28 days. Annual interest rate 390.94% (variable). 2961.4% APR representative.


And underneath that, it says


"Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems."


They're not f-ing joking, are they?


No wonder people who are already poor enough to need this kind of "service" spiral further and further into debt :( :( :(


Bastards.


Sorry, this probably isn't a tiny little thing, but it has certainly caused me enormous rage, irrational or not I have no idea.

The last tic tac in the box that resolutely refuses to come free from the bottom. Gentle tap with forefinger, nothing. Harder tap with forefinger and index finger, not even a minor movement. Bang box of table, nope still laughing at me. ARRRRRRGH, smashes box with hammer.

it was originally shorthand for expressing yourself online the humble bit meaning to convey that it was just your opinion not necessarily the correct answer. Please don't anyone come on here and say differently. I AM RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
