Road signs in Wales, especially large signs with a lot written on them, lines of English, lines of Welsh. Too confusing… I understand they feel the need to show their identity but hardly anyone speaks Welsh and I bet the few that do also speak English so it’s just a waste of money too.
This isn't an irritation now but it ties this up. I did just under 700 miles on Friday/Saturday with my phone attached to this gizmo pretty much throughout. Great bit of kit, no shaking, no vibrations, no movement at all. It grips the air vent tightly, the magnets are strong but not to the point where it becomes a problem to take it off. Highly recommended, I've just bought another for my wife's car.

The annual influx of spiders into the house. Winter is coming...
Do you go down the conker route? Is that urban myth or does it actually work?

My daughter tried it as we get lots of spiders in the house.
The result of which was. We still had lots of spiders in the house, but we also had lots of conkers laying around in the house.

They should just settle for one or the other.

We have a pet tarantula, not worried about any little things when we have a spider the size of your hand in the dining room

Urban myth, only think I've found that works is regular spider bombing and spraying with insect killer.
Believe me, I hate the little buggers and have tried everything.
I hate flies more so I leave the spiders alone.

I have cats, they do like to chase and kill spiders and flies so I do not get many of either, or at least not many that last very long. Arby is a master of insect eradication.

Very dangerous on the M4 when they alternate languages on the matr8x boards and most of the folk driving past have no idea what they mean. You have to hope you pass the next board before you hit whatever the previous board was saying.
Bit different in far west and north of the valleys where a bit more is spoken.

Made more confusing by English being the upper line on the motorway signs and Welsh being the upper line on other signs and road markings! 99% of the Welsh speak English so save money and ditch the Welsh ?

New folk taken over the village pub.
Having an "open mic night" on Friday. That'll empty the place! They haven't quite sussed out the demographic.
