People who stand waiting for the traffic to stop as you arrive at a crossing, although none of them have actually pushed the bloody button.

People who assume that trains in India have people on the roofs, they don't

At least that is (very) slightly more useful than the constant announcements of "Please do not forget to take your personal belongings with you when you leave the train". Has that announcement helped anyone, ever? Who needs reminding of that? They may as well have an announcement of 'please do not forget to breathe whilst leaving the train.'

To be fair, though, lots of things get left on trains and buses.


So that may reduce the number slightly.

Oh, Sue. A useless announcement made 1000s - possibly 10s of thousands - of times daily, just in the vain hope that someone, somewhere might remember their umbrella?


You are thinking like them... people who are paid to find very poor solutions to virtually non-existent problems.

People, especially those in small cars who will wait and only use the petrol pump that is on the side of their car that the petrol cap is on. THE HOSE IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH OVER AND WE CAN ALL GO ABOUT OUR DAY A LITTLE QUICKEr. *see also those that don't drive to the empty pump nearest the kiosk when it's free. Just stop at 1st one. Idiots.

Yes to all of these - although I've seen plenty of times when the bit by the doors on the train is rammed but the people in the corridor between the seats have plenty of room and could easily bunch up and let the people nearer the doors move down.


I'll also add able bodied people who insist on sitting on the outside seat on trains and make you clamber over them to sit down and people who when they are sitting outside you on the bus don't get up to let you off but just swing their legs sideways. And in the latter case I am talking about people who have managed to make it upstairs so clearly capable of standing up.


Also what's with people playing music out loud rather than via their headphones on public transport? Never the kind of music I would want to listen to either.

Nah. And saying "No drumstick!" is perfectly exceptable. It's the "Oi boss, boss, give an extra wing with that yeah?"


As I say, that is acceptable behaviour in many a chicken shop, but not KFC. You don't see people demanding an extra nugget in Maccas.

      Blue recycling boxes

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Southwark have decided to no longer supply or support the use of the smaller blue boxes for recycling  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/your-recycling-containers Fot those of you that currently use a blue box, it will be removed and a large blue bin will replace it. A lot of people use the blue boxes to avoid cluttering their gardens or the street so whilst I understand their health and safety reason, it's going to potentially lead to more clutter on bin day or more bins left on streets as there is no room in properties.

      Royal Mail Late Deliveries and the price we have to pay

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      That would be a reasonable attitude as regards the management, but my experience is that the posties are doing the best they can but are woefully understaffed (there's no cover for sickness or leave, and some walks have no regular postie assigned) and, despite denials, packages are prioritised over letter post. Posties can only physically carry parcels to far fewer addresses than letters, which means even on existing walks they don't take letters out wit them if they are carrying parcels. Because they cannot walk to the DO (in Peckham) they have to drive there and back, with two or 3 walks worth in each van. Making covering another postie's  walk that much more difficult.
