In no particular order...

Tumbleweave.

People that eat Chinese food with chopsticks on a packed commuter train whilst sniffing furiously (quite niche)

Ppi calls

Cyclists that wear black and have no lights

The way tess daly says the word "couples" (and then says it over and over again.


That is all.

Even more so as it's in aid of Save The Children, an organisation so out of touch it gave Tony Blair a humanitarian award last month.

I've used "train station" since I was a child, and that was in the late 50's and 60's, not convinced it's an Americanisation

I've always used Train Station.


Like Victoria Coach. Victoria Train Station. Not Victoria Railway Station.


Railway / Railroad would seem more an Americanism

They had the Wagon Trains and then the Railroad Trains.


Who Knows.. ?

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
