The people who design the dashboard of modern cars (all fuels)
They start with a shelf and stick an ipad on it as an afterthought.
And the plastic blower vents that have been around for decades...
OK that looks like a crap car. Most of the "modern" cars I have seen don't look like that at all any more.

That Audi looks crazy and how can that not be distracting. I miss dials - just let me turn a dial to change the heating please!

It's a screen so you can change it to dials if you want. I think they call it a "virtual cockpit"

I had a Golf GTI for a few days and it was quite tricky to find and then use the touch screen compared to just twirling a dial. Looks cool but I didn't find it user friendly.

I do like that my car has both
If people want to be fancy use the screen but the dials are so much easier
But then I've not used it much you can press voice button and say set air con to whatever
Again prefer dials

I miss dials too, changing the heater or the radio on my Volvo V40 is dangerous!

I have gesture control on mine (it is a touch screen but as you say, faffing around happens too much).
I dismissed gesture control as a total gimmick (bit like the Heads Up Display) but wouldn't be without either now.

WTF !
A train company has apologised following a complaint from a non-binary passenger after the conductor greeted customers by saying "good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls." https://t.co/E1kmtmMh56

The guy who complained was a train union rep.

Filtered traffic lights!
Bus lane on left, other traffic on right. Bus lane & straight ahead along main road on green. But no-one can go straight ahead becacause of three cars waiting to turn right held on a red filter.

So many junctions seem to be designed by people that don't drive....

We need to introduce the US system where you can turn left (right in the US) at most red lights but you must give way to traffic ‘green lighted’ traffic. Works well over there and speeds up junctions. Obviously not if there is a bus lane on the inside.

Seems that way. Would easily solved if the bus lane ended 10 yards short of where it currently does.

Still waiting to hear if my ballot application for tickets for AVFC v Chelsea is successful - the wait is soooooo painful!

Neighbours who order parcels and then not actually be at home to receive them making the postman give them me.
I only order things for delivery at the weekend or when I’m on nights so I’m actually home to get them. Is it a hard concept to grasp? I now have two parcels sat waiting for collection from two neighbours.
Do I not answer the door and make the postie carry his undelivered parcels for the rest of his round or does my home continue to be a large post box?

The folks who book trips abroad based only on the destination being on a UK green list… while ignoring whether their destination country has the UK on its version of a ‘green list’
