I normally belong to the male club "I'm a man what do I need instructions for" but on this occasions I need them the camera has more buttons and settings along with remote via Wi Fi and info red, my 60 plus year old brain could not cope. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

"I would argue that rear foglights were never necessary and are one of the most stupid and dangerous (and misunderstood and misused) features ever fitted to a vehicle!" ^ Damn! I wish I had expressed it like that. Last edited by defender4 on 21st Dec 2016 11:28pm. Edited 2 times in total |

Grinds my gears this supermarket price point BS.
3 litre wine boxes put off buyers because of the high price so reduce the box volume and price ! WTF seriously, if the price of things goes up then raise the price, don't reduce the portion !! I don't want my 1/4 pounder to become a 3 ouncer to keep the price the same either.... 3 Landrovers |

^^ quite agree
They keep arguing that if they put the price up people wont buy it because it is no longer value for money. I bought a chocolate orange the other day, should have been called a chocolate Satsuma! Its tiny compared to what is was and at £1.50 I would argue no its not worth it! However I would pay £2 for a proper sized on!

I like toblerone but it does hurt your mouth if you have to bite a piece off when your hands are filthy. Ray

I just wish I could find a 'plain' chocolate one. Nobody seems to stock them anymore.  |

Also people who you do not know who you are speaking to on the phone e.g if you are ordering something; who call you Pal, far too familiar and really bugs me.

I hate people who I've never met before using my first name without me giving them permission first. The medical profession being the worst!!! 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

I was recently having a conversation about first /surnames and their use. I get fed up with people NOT using my first name. I don't need to be called Sir, or Mr PumaPhil. My parents chose my first name, I like it, so use it. I feel it shows respect for their choice of name. I, nor my parents had any choice over my surname.
However, I do respect the choice of others to use their surname..  |

I feel your pain save for one twist, Lambert is my first name and the amount of people who insist on calling me Mr Lambert or that assume that it is hyphenated with my last name. It got old when I was still at school now at 42 it is grating on my grumpy nerve. If I introduce myself as Lambert then that is what I want to be referred to as. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Dumb ass off road bikers that do not understand ROW access regs and legalities.
Those lot ruining it for the good people that do the right thing like us on here. The TRF and GLASS and give the bobblehat brigade further reasons to close legal lanes and deny us further access to enjoy legally Byways Open To All Trafic. Apparently they are allowed to illegally ride a footpath, or Bridleway to save a life. (With no such event in existence.) Or illegally ride them as a farmer or land owner has access and they apparently are. But they cannot prove it... Prove any of those, and all is well. Unproven it's a dim witted illegal biking joyride. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ·ó ¬ó ³ó ¿ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó ´ó ¿ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡ªðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸â›½ï¸ðŸ›¢ï¸âš™ï¸ðŸ§°ðŸ’ª |
