People who stand waiting for the traffic to stop as you arrive at a crossing, although none of them have actually pushed the bloody button.

People who assume that trains in India have people on the roofs, they don't

At least that is (very) slightly more useful than the constant announcements of "Please do not forget to take your personal belongings with you when you leave the train". Has that announcement helped anyone, ever? Who needs reminding of that? They may as well have an announcement of 'please do not forget to breathe whilst leaving the train.'

To be fair, though, lots of things get left on trains and buses.


So that may reduce the number slightly.

Oh, Sue. A useless announcement made 1000s - possibly 10s of thousands - of times daily, just in the vain hope that someone, somewhere might remember their umbrella?


You are thinking like them... people who are paid to find very poor solutions to virtually non-existent problems.

People, especially those in small cars who will wait and only use the petrol pump that is on the side of their car that the petrol cap is on. THE HOSE IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH OVER AND WE CAN ALL GO ABOUT OUR DAY A LITTLE QUICKEr. *see also those that don't drive to the empty pump nearest the kiosk when it's free. Just stop at 1st one. Idiots.

Yes to all of these - although I've seen plenty of times when the bit by the doors on the train is rammed but the people in the corridor between the seats have plenty of room and could easily bunch up and let the people nearer the doors move down.


I'll also add able bodied people who insist on sitting on the outside seat on trains and make you clamber over them to sit down and people who when they are sitting outside you on the bus don't get up to let you off but just swing their legs sideways. And in the latter case I am talking about people who have managed to make it upstairs so clearly capable of standing up.


Also what's with people playing music out loud rather than via their headphones on public transport? Never the kind of music I would want to listen to either.

Asking for 2 breast isn't haggling is it?....asking for a friend!

Nah. And saying "No drumstick!" is perfectly exceptable. It's the "Oi boss, boss, give an extra wing with that yeah?"


As I say, that is acceptable behaviour in many a chicken shop, but not KFC. You don't see people demanding an extra nugget in Maccas.

    • Ok. The thread title.    in my view the whole country has moved to the right since Brexit.  Brexit was always going to be the gateway to populism  you have a terrible voting system coupled with dreadful media which cowers almost any original thought. And the whole time you have the media and simpletons saying the U.K. under starmer is now some socialist gulag when starmer and co are largely imitating and implementing Tory policy from last 14 years a complete shitshow with no visible way out - it needs someone who a) has the bravery to face down opponents but crucially b) not be a loony populist    and I can’t see anyone who fits both (perhaps Ed Davey  but thanks to stupid voting system mentioned above he is doomed. The greens have a new charismatic but slightly odd leader but a party that is fundamentally divided by nimby fault lines  and then you have Corbyn and Sultana with usual brand of protest party, who will achieve nothing but pave a way for Tories/reform to take power)    the Tories are obviously demented. Having birthed and nurtured a fantasy like Brexit, it chewed through 5 leaders in almost as many years whilst throwing out or repulsing any sensible Tory.  And now have an absolute narcissistic fantasist as current leader with someone even worse (Jenryck) lined up behind her    so there we have it.  Sleep tight 
    • In deed, and whatever we think there was great popular support for his more extreme views - feels like history is repeating itself.  However, really interested in the title of the thread.
    • Enock Powell certainly was demonised after making a speech  in 1968. In many ways it was out of character. His was a most interesting character and arguably one of the most highly intelligent person to enter parliament. Powell spoke German, French, Italian, Modern Greek, Hindi and Urdu: plus had a reading knowledge of Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Welsh. Among classical languages, he knew Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic. If, for a moment, one  could set aside any preconceived opinions then one would find his biography absolutely fascinating. Enoch Powell - Wikipedia  
    • Why is that shocking? It's a fair enough way to remember how to spell her name. It wasn't an analogy. He wasn't comparing the two people concerned or saying they were alike. And Enoch Powell was indeed infamous.
