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.

    • +1 for Oddbods They ran 4 jobs around the house and are just really good guys. I am now looking around the house to see what else we can ask them to do...
    • You could also hire a circular saw from the Library of Things inside the Dulwich Leisure Centre?  
    • I was bitten by a smallish dog (black terrier type), in lead, yesterday afternoon (Monday 2 March, approx 1.15pm) at the corner of Heber Road and Cyrena Road.  Nothing too serious, but I have a small wound on my calf and a hole in my jeans. The owner (a middle aged woman) couldn't control her dog, pretended it didn't happen and did a runner.  I managed to take a picture of her as she walked away.  Not a great picture but if you recognise her could you please DM some info so I can report the incident?  If only to ensure that she is spoken to, as this is obviously a dangerous dog and is not under control... Many thanks.
    • I've got no wish to discuss this  again. I've already given my views on a previous  thread in the lounge. I take it you won't be voting Green, but I'm wondering quite where you are coming from with all these attacks on them? Where do your political sympathies lie?  This thread was supposed to be about James McAsh's move away from Labour 🙄 Anyway, it is hopefully another nice day and I'm off to do some gardening.
