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.

    • Also has a free film afternoon once a month… shows a range of films.. Free as well. On first floor. Not great toilets but still.. Staff are all very helpful. Have lessons one to one if you need help on most computer issues. Can borrow iPad as well on site - ground floor. Extremely well stocked library with some new titles as well. 
    • Just a short silly one among more prosaic or gloomy posts: libraries are brilliant and we are lucky to have them! I popped into Dulwich Library this afternoon. It was pretty busy and I'd guess there were probably 40-50 people in, plus however many in the kids' section. All sorts of people were borrowing books, getting their blood pressure checked on the machine, printing documents, using computers, getting out the house and off the street, reading the papers and reference books, whatever. Oldies, kids, students and everyone in between. At exam time, it's a safe space rammed with kids studying. It's an elegant building, the staff always seem to be doing their best despite the obvious money challenges, it's open late most days, and all for £0 at point of use. We are all very lucky to have access to Dulwich Library and the other libraries! 👏👏👏
    • Another reason to be put off is the prices For most likely to be 100s of dollars for a ticket https://thefsa.org.uk/news/astonishing-world-cup-ticket-prices-revealed/
