This one's not that much of an annoyance, but it is petty: people who don't remove the stickers from the bottom of a new pair of shoes.


Yes, we can in fact all see the stickers when you're walking despite their being on the bottom of your shoe. And yes, it does make you look a bit silly. And lazy/forgetful/generally a little bit slack.

Are you never tempted to talk to these so called men like they were ikkle wikkle babies? Just to see how it goes down. Your post reminds me of the episode of Sex In The City where Samantha's squeeze baby talks in bed and she finds herself unable to, erm, enjoy herself.

Conformists who write phone numbers thus - 020 8xxx xxxx, or 020 7xxx xxxx.

As a traditionalist I've just got used to "ROD" becoming "701" before we start on the myriad of prefix changes...

In fact what have been the changes in Inner London since the glorious 1960's..starting with the letters..like "ROD"..?

Anyone?

After "rod" then "701" there was "071" then "0171" then "020" split between "0207/0208" now its "020 7701".

Progress initt,innit?

BRI (which was the Brixton exchange) became 274 and TOW (Townley) became 693. Both good Dulwich numbers by the way. God I'm getting old.


Back to petty annoyances though - people constantly rabbiting on the phone and not just on public transport which really does my head in. For instance, I have a girl in the office who is constantly talking fatuous boring crap all day long to her friends and family and I really don't want to hear it thank you very much.

    • if you want to get an idea of what the height would be like, the development on Bournemouth Road just off Rye Lane (where the Barclays is) is i think about 8 floors. So it's got height to it, but not Aylesham proposal height. The development above the f45 is also 7 floors. So the height in this instance doesn't necessarily bother me, rather the inevitable lack of a decent amount of affordable housing for local people and families. These "flats" look tiny, and i'd say are more like a really nice dorm room than anything else.   
    • Not sure how you define overtaxing, I expect most of the population would like to pay less tax.  One of the panel on Kuensseberg, not the young influencer, nor the unreconstructed old man (the opposite of 'new man') Piers Morgan), was fairly knowledgeable and explained that measures to improve growth such as an improved deal with the EU and trade agreements, are done elsewhere.  
    • Ryan Campbell from MS Heating and Plumbing is a lifesaver! I needed a new boiler installed urgently and I was struggling to find anyone with availability. Ryan juggled his jobs around and installed the boiler the next day. He has done a very professional job and came back a week later to flush the system and check everything was working properly including fixing a radiator that wasn’t warming up. Great communication and a lovely guy. His number is 07939 981908
