People talking and chatting loudly in the 'quiet' carriage on trains and the sodding staff doing feck all about it...


It's been a good few years since I last took a train but I'm intrigued by this idea of 'quiet' carriages. How much more does it cost to book a quiet carriage?

Nothing, but one carriage is designated a 'Quiet Zone'. Supposedly their for working or sleeping, but generally full of children howling, businessmen chatting loudly or teenage girls on mobiles. And the train staff won't do a damn thing.


I would actually pay more for a truly quiet carriage. Sadly, not first class rates as my company won't let me.

Women who apply make up from the moment they sit their backsides down on the train and continue to make up all the way into London, or finish with the make up and instantly pick up the mobile and chat non stop even when they get off the train!!!!! Better still, the look of puzzlement on their faces when they look at their phones on entering a tunnel and the line goes dead.

Generic European adverts (especially car adverts)

The phrase "up to" used in conjunction with statistics in adverts

The phrase "award winning" in adverts (what award?)

The word "muppet" when used as an insult

The word "party" when used as a verb

Fake corporate bonhomie in marketing eg. Innocent drinks

The word "myself" when used instead of "me". Also "yourself/you"

There is a constant advert that keeps coming on with three ladies in an art gallery, they seem very happy as it is an ad for Tenner Pants, I think that after so many appearances they should not be dancing but swimming.

I think that the advert is degrading and too personal to be shown so often.

    • Does anyone know where I could get a dog coat in Dulwich hamlet colours (stripes, ideally) for a small dog? I want to try & get one for a friend’s dog but they don’t seem to sell them in their shop & I can’t see anything in those specific colours online in general…    
    • Enterprise messed up my reservation last week, so they are in my bad books. Turo and Hiyacar are peer to peer care rental apps that might have vehicles in Dulwich. Turo doesn't have a great reputation...
    • Hello all! I wanted to give a huge shout out & recommendation to my incredible CrossFit gym, ShiroKuma based a quick 176/40/12/484 bus ride away in Camberwell.  As someone who suffered with gym anxiety, but wanted to get into lifting and CrossFit training, it was amazing to find this good vibes gym with the most incredible trainers, Katherine & James. I’ve now been a member for 4 years and it’s the best decision I’ve made.  Classes are never more than 12 people so you always get amazing attention and coaching in each session, which I hadn’t experienced before in other gyms.  If you’re curious about trying a CrossFit workout, or you are already experienced but want to get to your next level, ShiroKuma is the best place. The workouts are carefully programmed so everyone can adjust them to their own needs and abilities - and before you know it, you’ll be doing pull ups and Olympic lifting in no time!  If anyone has any questions or wants to talk through what a typical week at the gym looks like, I would be more than happy to have a chat ☺️ https://shirokumahf.co.uk/ Check out their Instagram for some inspiration & to get a sense of the gym!
