'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.

    • Last time I was in there, after a 10-minute queue, it took nearly 10 minutes to prepare postage for a large letter to Ireland. Felt like I was in the last century. 
    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother.
