Probably rational, actually.


Why oh why oh why have buses now got 60% of the luggage rack taken up by a free newspaper rack ?

(obviously it's for money, but...)

what's next ? vending machines instead in place of some of the seats ?

interesting that my annoyance at the fat woman on the train who refused to make space for anyone else caused such outrage.


It's a general commuter problem - people refusing to move in, make space, squash up.


She was particularly unsociable with it. Fact she was fat did not raise my annoyance levels but her behavior / intolerance did.


I'm not particularly 'sizeist' but her general manner of behavior was unattractive.

Ha! Possibly the same person who said to me earlier this year "some of us are going to work" when I squeezed onto that same train in the morning carrying my snooker cue - as it happened I was going to a meeting and planning to get a quick game in later, but I didn't feel they deserved an explanation!

I remember when they used to drive me mad too... happy days...

Handles on doors, oh no you don't have to use them. Why not shove the door thing with your grubby paws, and watch over time as the handmarks build up.


And don't get me started on walls. My sons' mate walks up the stairs, trailing his hands grubby all over them.

turn the book around, hold stub open with right hand, fill in upside down

I was rushed through the till in the supermarket yesterday and the cashier started serving the next customer before I had packed my shopping in the bags and she had given me the receipt, didn't offer to help me pack shopping and was very abrupt. Not going back there in a hurry. Reminded me of the days of "Victor Value". No polite customer service, just rude rude rude. (mind you, the man behind me was very handsome, she probably couldn't wait to serve him)

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
