I’ve got kids, although now in their 20’s and I’ve never been a fan tbh! - I’m not a miserable person at all and it’s fine for 3 or 4 days, but kids or not it’s so blatantly commercial now it makes...

The fuss over Christmas, especially for the non religious - of which I am one. A horrible, cold time of year punctuated by 6 weeks of forced jollity. It puts many people into debt and has a massive...
I’ve had a couple of cars in the last few years with different variations of LED headlights - 2 with the more expensive ‘Matrix’ versions that stay on full beam when a car approaches but you can see...
Towards the end of my commuting years I lost my patience with these morons and on more than one occasion placed my hand on the middle of the chest of the front person trying to force their way onto...
Most of the roads where we live are like this in rural Norfolk. If anyone round here has a 4x4 as a daily driver it’s something like an old Jimmy or an old Vitara - most just drive hatchbacks. ...
I was thinking the exact same thing! Most of the self service tills I use get very confused if I put my bag on the till first and proceed to load it. Much quicker to bag at the end!

Diamond cut alloys and low profile tyres. If you make a mistake and misjudge your parking against a low kerb by an inch or two you’re looking at an unsightly mess and a very expensive repair! Bring...
Referring to a watch as ‘a piece’ like it’s a one off work of art by Michelangelo or something. Grating pomposity!

Happens nearly every time my car goes in for a service - can’t believe there’s not an indicator on the dash saying ‘your lights are on auto/off’ whatever. Manufacturers seem keen to tell you all...

Cocktails. They either taste like Vimto or paint stripper. Or a mixture of both. Ugh!

Funny you should say that as I bought a pair last year and the stitching failed after just a couple of wears. The replacement I was offered were already starting to fail in the same place (to the...
My family are very much involved in yachting - my dad and brother are avid sailors, both have competed in the Fastnet race and my brother was involved in the Americas cup for years. They both swore...
I’m not getting into a silly argument over cars versus bicycles. When I drive my car I treat every road user equally - in fact as an ex motorcyclist I am far more wary of anyone on 2 wheels. I...
Possibly because they’re usually using the road to get from a to b for a reason, such as getting to work, as opposed to using it for recreation!

I increasingly ignore people who flash me in situations like this - I’d rather be patient and stick to the rules of the road. Might make me sound like a right bore but as an ex-motorcyclist I don’t t...

People (usually young) who say ‘I’ll get a coffee’. No you moron, that’s what the barista is for. It’s ‘I’d like a coffee’. I think it’s another Americanism but it makes no sense whatsoever!

In urban areas, I see your point. In my part of Norfolk, and I suspect most rural areas, a reliable car is the only way the vast majority can get to work, as there is no public transport across large...
