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.

    • There's Enterprise car hire in Sydenham. Suggest go online and compare prices as car hire prices vary similar to air fares, with prices varying on how and when you book and also pick up location.
    • Nope, don't agree.  He was well known for much of the above, although I'd replace stupidity with arrogance. Now if you'd fess up and say I voted for him to get Brexit done (badly.,,.) and as I didn't want Corbyn as PM (we can play what ifs on that one - I expect he couldn't have managed COVID but I'd like to think there were people in his party who could) then your honesty would be welcome. @CPR Dave What are your thoughts?  Do you regret voting for him??
    • we need a car for the weekend and cannot find somewhere local that hires cars for the weekend - just Vans so far.  any recommendations appreciated.   
    • The burgers aren't about to be banned. Just what they are called.  Absolutely ridiculous. Does the dead animal  aka  meat industry think if they are called something other than veggie burgers, people who don't eat meat will return to eating it? Just so they can have a "burger" instead of a "patty" or whatever the veggie burgers will be called instead?
