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.

    • Aren't most marxists radical by default...and he was a self proclaimed marxist on his twitter feed for years but deleted it as I suspect it did not sit well at Labour HQ. The big worry for Labour might be that he takes votes away from them (but not enough for him to win a seat) especially as there may be a significant protest vote against them at the national level as they are making such a pig's ear of things. I suspect though Labour are glad to see the back of him - to say he was a thorn in their side is an understatement and his loss of the leadership of the council was clearly part of the purge Labour has been embarking on to rid itself of some of the far-left lunatic fringe that have blighted them for so long. The Greens of course are willingly take any disaffected far-left Labour rejects in the same way Reform are hovvering up the lunatic elements of the Tories. The fact he went in with both barrels on Labour is hardly surprisingly but wonderfully hypocritical of someone who thought they were about to lead a Labour council. My how politicians flip-flop to suit their own personal agenda. How long before he falls out with the Greens...where to then? Why do I think he had an affiliation with the Greens before he became a Labour councillor? Or did I imagine that?
    • It’s a shame that that topic is closed/archived for further replies.  It sounds like a great and helpful business. I’d love to see some of the pictures that had been posted.

    • Many of you will recall my previous posts seeking recommendation of local eateries for a family meal. Having vegetarians, those who cannot take dairy products or  are gluten intolerant  we  were looking at a menu which could accommodate everyone's requirements. Having been to Love Dulwich twice in t he past for lunch, we went again and discovered that we could reserve for 10 people (would have been 12 ). I am pleased to say Love Dulwich did not disappoint - a wide choice, beautifully cooked and presented, adults and kids loved the food. We booked for 7 pm and were surprised at the number of people already dining there, with several more coming through the evening. Service was good and coped well with multiple orders. Well recommended.
