Things that have bothered you for a long time.

The word ''Staycation '' a butchery of the English language , a holiday spent at home is just that ,a holiday or a vacation. Area it is enjoyed in is irrelevant. Loathe this made up word..... ....

I went to Greenwich last year to catch the annual Astrophotography exhibition. I nipped into a local corner shop to buy a sarnie & drink. I waited while an elderly lady in front paid for her goods, then it was my turn.

I handed the shopkeeper a note & he counted out my change when...

Mr I-am-in-a-hurry ran in, grabbed a can of fizz from the fridge and just as the guy was handing me my change, he leaned over me as if I was inconveniently in his way, dropped £1 into the shopkeepers hand, which still had my change in it, said 'there you go mate' and ran out....

Next time someone acts as impatient & rude like that, I'm tempted to slap the fecker..... Is this just in London or are other people in a rush so blasted rude?.

Were the Whigs the same as the Liberals and how did they differ from the Tories?

Why is it that even though I'm in my apartment on my own, I still feel a need to lock the door when I go to the privvy?

I don't even close the door most of the time. It muffled the sound of the radio.

Milk cartons where you have to cut the top open with scissors. I was given some during lockdown and they are a nightmare. No matter how careful you are they spout out all over the place when first opened.

Those 'bulk' bog roll holders you get in some public toilets where the roll is about two kilometres long in a big round holder with a hole in the bottom. As the roll gets used up it dissipaters into the holder until it's so small you can't see it and you have to stick your arm into the thing up to your elbow just to find the end. Of course inevitably you then turn it the wrong way and spend ages flailing about trying to tear little bits off.

I mean, really: who sat down and designed such an abomination? And how did they get so bitter against humanity in the first place?

What was worse was that loo paper at school when we were kids which resembled greaseproof paper. Who ever thought that was a good idea!

Smaller cut/hole in the opposite corner.

Wasn't it called Bronco?

People who bought it but didn't have to use it I expect.

I remember that stuff at my school too.

Izal, I think.

Given my handling it would probably spout from both ends.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Izal, I think.

Was Izal on a roll, and Bronco was individual sheets?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Izal, I think.

They had a variety of names I think. Several in my school alone...
