I looked it up - they can grow to about 50 cm/20 inches (nose to end of tail; body length around half of that).

Can easily reach 3ft in Bradford!!!🤣🤣🤣

The inability of some people to stack stock properly on a pallet.
The inability of some people to check stock is properly stacked on a pallet before attempting to move said pallet from A to B.
The inability of some people to learn from a badly stacked pallet, and restack the collapsed pallet worse than it was in the first place, only to watch it all collapse again :eek:

We used to sell dried grains which is a by product of mashing in a brewery or distillery. This was packaged in 56lb paper sacks which can be problem to load unless you know how to do it.
Some lorry drivers did know but often I had to put one of our own lads on the lorry to make sure they were stacked properly. If not interlocked the whole lot could slide off at the first corner. If I did not watch the start of loading to make sure it was done properly the load sometimes started to slide even while still loading which was not popular as we had to pick the lot up and start again.
I am talking about anything from 10 to 20 tons per load as it was a light but bulky product.

I just watched an episode of 'Trucking Hell' and I reckon at least one of the overturned trucks had been scuppered by a shifting load.

As for annoying trivial things... Can I have my missing pitta back please? There are supposed to be 6 in tonight's pack but there were only 5, which annoyed me because I eat 3 per meal so I will be 1 short next time.

While out yesterday I felt a sudden wet experience on my right buttock. I felt my pants at the back to find them soaking wet. I had an almost full cyclist water bottle in my shoulder bag (for my dog's sake). I'd accidentally left the push down top open after giving him a drink.:ohmy: I had to walk around for a few hours with a soaking backside, wondering if folk spotted it and wondered why. Thankfully I was wet on the back, not the front. ;)

Using the loo in a London restaurant, the washbasin had one of those spring-loaded pushbutton taps. I pushed it gently, then a little harder, then harder still until it suddenly snapped fully open and the water came out like a fire hose, ricocheted off the basin, and soaked the front of my trousers. I then emerged from the loo, and paraded my wet trousers through the full length of the busy restaurant.
