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.

    • One month on and Never-Here-Keir is getting ever closer to the toaster. It seems that he goes AWOL at every opportunity. He's done 34 foreign trips to 26 countries since becoming PM.  Surely, with all the in-fighting going on at #10 and with some MPs and one Labour mayor on manoeuvres,  should he not be staying at home and fighting for his premiership and the interests of the Labour party?  or does he reckon he is already doomed and feels better away from it all?
    • 5stars!   Aria has completed a third job for me today and I’m always so glad to recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, timely and communicative plumber.    Aria came to look at the job on the day I messaged about it (replacing and repositioning radiators). He advised on different solutions and what I needed to buy.   He then came back today to do the work. He managed to move things around to get it done in the small window I had available. The work was done to a very high standard (Aria will always check for any potential issues several times) and for very good value.  He’s also just a really nice friendly guy who I’ll definitely work with again.
    • Glad Gigi is safe.  Hope there won't be 'a next time'.
