Iirc French keyboards aren't either. Close, but no cigxr...
Being able to touch type, and then being confronted with non UK keyboards is definitely a random irritation.
My wife has an obsessive hatred of ants. We have those little traps all over the place and the patio slabs look as though they have had talcum powder thrown over them. Ants don't bother me.Ants. ?
I don't mind them in the garden, it's when there's about 40 of them in the house while I'm trying to work, lol.My wife has an obsessive hatred of ants.

If they're exploring your house, they don't like cloves. We pack a few into any little cracks they seem to be finding. It works.
We already had some ant powder in so I've thrown that down around the corner where we think they were getting in. That has halted the tide for now.If you haven't done it already then get something like this (we use it indoors too)

Local timber merchants
My mate ordered wood for our garage for this morning delivery
Yesterday they called him to say oh we got a big order going to Kent first (so going over to Kent first even tho our house is like next to them) anyways will be afternoon
Not ideal but fine
2pm no wood
4pm no wood
He tried calling them at 2 turns out the actual office is closed Thursday
So he stuck waiting around on my drive for the wood lol
Waste of his time
If he had known he placed order it wouldn't have been morning he would have gone down and got himself from b &q
Talk sport getting the Lions radio coverage ??
The likes of Gough and Durham suddenly turn into rugby experts
Just out of curiosity,why do you listen to them Phil??And right on queue tonight - Durham trying to stir up controversy with the Lions pick , looking for people to phone in and “vent their disgust” that someone didn’t get picked. It was good to see Will Greenwood shut him down quickly- don’t think Durham realises rugby fans don’t act like football fans
Ants. ?

Estate agents who cant even turn up for a viewing
Having had the misfortune to use an estate agent recently for the first time in many, many years all my former irritations with them from 20 plus years ago still remain. Poor service, misunderstanding of their local market, shoddy admin and mostly prices based on house price % not on services offered. As house prices have risen their prices are now way above any value you can put on them.It is sad to say but I believe the words spoken in earnest all those years ago have now come true but I will leave it to my fellow forumers to make their own minds up…...”In 15 or 20 years the estate agent will have the whiphand over the buyer... as I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much commissions”...Yes some of us laughed, even mocked those words, but now sadly, here we are! ?

Exactly this. They are working for the seller not the buyer but you would swear it’s the other way round. Why on earth are they on a % of the sales price? They are mainly an admin service with the internet doing the selling and advertising for them.I recall being in an Estate Agents and hearing one say to a prospective buyer "they're desperate as they're emigrating to Australia and need a really quick sale...make a silly offer" and then realising they were talking about my brother's house!
