Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Ahh, someone else who is influenced by this unseemly American habit - !
Do you wear the peak at the back as well - ?

Nice thought Alex321, but the images on both sites clearly show 'Proof of Age' on the card samples.
As the GLW is rather over 21, probably wouldn't be applicable.

They are not just for proof of age though, that is just one of the things they can be used for.

From the Citizencard site

Card Features​

Featuring police and SIA logos and supported by various government agencies, our cards are the best national proof of age and ID.

And

We offer the UK public a cheap, safe for everyday use ID card, which is not costly to replace and cannot be used for illegal activities such as ID theft. With a CitizenCard you can prove who you are whenever you need and access our online discounts.

And if you follow the link for "hat is a citizencard"

Proof of age and ID​

Bearing the PASS hologram, the CitizenCard is well-established as the UK's most widely-recognised ID card. Even if you have a passport or driving licence, keep those IDs safe at home and apply for a CitizenCard for everyday ID and proof of age needs.

[EDIT]
And on the Postoffice site:

In December 2016 the "Leave your passport at home" campaign was launched by the Home Office. The campaign encourages people to leave their passport at home and use a PASS card such as Post Office PASS Card instead for all proof of age and ID purposes.

Using a Post Office PASS Card you can access the products and services to which you are entitled.

You can use Post Office PASS Card for:

• voting in general and local elections
• home shopping (including purchasing alcohol and tobacco)
• starting work or for a job interview
• accessing housing services or claiming benefits
• playing the lottery or buying scratchcards
• visiting prisons
• purchasing videos (DVDs or Blu-Ray discs) and computer games
• applying for a UK driving licence (as evidence of your identity)
• visiting the bookies, bingo or casino
• entry to nightclubs, bars and pubs
• entry to festivals
• travel and domestic flights (including British Overseas Territories like Channel Islands)
• any other age-restricted entry or purchase

The ones I have highlighted are using it for proof of ID, not just age.

Um... In the event of a food shortage?

Okay, but does that make an id card a bad thing?

Haven't heard that phrase for ages - is it a form of Age Proof? ;-)

I got a puncture....

Btw does anyone run a larger inner tubes on 28mm as I feel 20-28mm might be a bit thin?

I got a puncture....

I'll raise you one - I got 2 today. Bloody farmers out hedge thrashing.
Sorry wrong thread, two punctures is not trivial.

I suspect that's the point; so you'll give up.

went to the chippy for tea friday and the queue was massive , fair enough it is what it is.A teenager walks in takes a look and walks to the front of the queue , now we didnt say anything as we didnt know if he was with the guy being served in front of me but when he steps up to order i very vocally tell him to join the line.mini ck 1 and 2 were with me and walked out as the were embarrassed that i had stood up to the sneaky little snot (13-14 i found out later ) who is from mini ck 2 school and is friends with a trouble maker from across the road.
I must have had a good 30 mins of the kids telling me i shouldnt tell a child off , i mean wtf !!!!

You've probably done said Little Snot a favour in reminding him that he can't rely on people around to acquiesce to his selfish behaviour. Also you can use it as a learning experience for your kids.

We ordered a new sofa from DFS 2 weeks ago. We opted for the interest free credit (through Creation). Creation sent me a link to e-sign the contract (which they require before DFS can even start our order). When I click on the link, it takes me to a contract I had for my previous sofa, which was 4 years ago. No way to change it. DFS can't help because it's a fault in Creation's system. I can't get through to Creation because their automated system takes you around in circles with no option to speak to a human. I've emailed them twice to say I can't e-sign due to their faulty system, and I get an email saying they'll reply in 7-10 days! I've had no reply thus far. I'm so annoyed, I'm going to go in to DFS and complain, try and get a discount and just pay the full balance. I also feel so strongly about this that I might insist on speaking to a manager and/or someone who is in charge of signing up these credit providers so at least they know how rubbish they are!
