'you' instead of 'your' in sentences. Is it just me? Is this just a popular error or am I missing something?


I actually attempted to research this online. Maybe I'm an idiot - I just don't get it.

Someone please educate me (if you understand what I'm talking about).


This does cause me irrational rage.

housemates that don't take the rubbish out. or the recycle. or the food waste.

then it piles up....and up...and up...and you think it can't possibly get any higher....and then they leave the lid open.

and guess what. then i give in and take it out.

but each time i wait, just in case someone else might decide take it out.

but it hasn't happened yet >:(

Hundreds of multi coloured big plastic bins all over the place getting in the way of walking, driving,blocking gates,steps smelling overloaded, and too many bin cart wagons blocking roads and making noise everywhere.

Some plastic company has got a tasty contract with Southwark council.

That used to drive me mad as well, until I realised that if they said "the next station" only, it didn't mean the train would be stopping there, and if they said "the next stop" only, it could be a stop at a signal.


So it does actually make sense to say "station stop", even if it's irritating :)

When you join several other people waiting for the green man at a zebra crossing, after a while think 'this is taking a bl**dy age' and then realise that none of the people who got there before you have pressed the button.

    • Another recommendation - excellent, fast work. 
    • I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.
    • Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!
    • Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
