Z list celebrities and smug daytime tv presenters with zero talent putting the world to rights from the comfort of their cosy little London based TV job. Yawn. I'm especially thinking of This Morning and Loose Women here. Awful pointless shows.


Louisa.

When websites change to tablet-friendly format and dumb down in the process, in this case TFL. I don't need a picture of a little bus driving along to show me that it's finding the results, thanks, I'm a grown-up.
Bus passengers who refuse to sit down even when seats are available and instead stand in the aisle or at the door, preventing other, more reasonable passengers, to move down or get off. Is it a recent phenomenon? I never used to see so many seat-refuseniks.

I think most people guilty of this have a fear of being trapped/closed in.


e.g. you are sitting next to the window, the bus is packed, you ring the bell.

The person next to you has to get up to let you out, they can't get up because there are people standing in the aisle. They attempt to get up, but other people are also trying to get off. People are coming down the stairs pushing & shoving adding to the confusion.

The driver just wants to close the doors & move on as quickly as possible. He doesn't care about people still trapped in seats, at the back, upstairs still trying to reach the door.


Doors close, stop missed. I rest my case.


Yes, I'm one of those annoying people who stand by the doors. With good reason.

No, it's selfish and delays others - the driver has to stare into his mirror at every stop just to check you're not getting off. Please don't do it.

Well, everyone would get their stake back. Or use the pot for a collective wreath.

    • Ask him politely if you can help him.  I remember staring at my old flat.  Can I help you a neighbour asked.  Yes I said, I had seen that they have split it into two flats. And we had a chat about it.   Edited to add - if they are doing this in plain site then it sounds harmless, but it would be good manners to knock on your door.  In our area there is someone well known on X that walks up and down taking pictures of anything out of the ordinary, often quite trivial, supposedly for laughs.  I could speculate who the owner could be, a creative or a gangster, but that would not be appropriate!
    • Hi. I’m looking for an Ikea ekanaset armchair in light grey fabric (now discontinued) to match one I already have. Just asking on the off chance someone is about to get rid of one!  Would need to be in good condition. Thanks. 
    • Hi folks, I'm hoping it's nothing, but we've noticed a man drive up outside our house in a white Jaguar XE 2.0 (example pic below), get out, take some photos of the building work with his phone, and then drive off. We've seen him do this a couple of times over the last couple of months.  Reg BP16 UAJ. Is it anything to be concerned about? I'm hoping it's just an architect or someone interested in the design and building work...
    • So glad you found this poor little thing....  I heard that so many people tried to catch it as it was running in the road.  Well done!
