Local councils who cannot check what else is going on in the area with regards to road works.

A30 Chard to Crewkerne closed

diversion to Yeovil - A303 then A3088.

Now they have closed the A3088.

Country lanes with artic lorries going down them is a bit of a joke, one village they have to go through has 3 traffic calming lane blocks within 300 yards and the other way has so many parked cars that even getting through in a car can be horrendous.

We get a similarly stupid scenario regularly. Diversion through the village which includes a lot of artics and haulage 40 footers when there are two weak bridges in the village with weight limits. Not a single driver cares and carries on. The main bridge nearly went last summer because of it.

The Facebook algorithm being a ridiculously show learner.

I'm not interested in The Walking Dead or MMA. I've clicked the "Hide All from ..." link on about 20 different groups for each of them. Stop suggesting groups!

So, today in this video I'm going to tell you about........
Fast forward 5 minutes and he's still waffling on about rubbish.

Don't tell us what you're going to tell us, just tell us, preferably without 3 ''ums'', 4 ''likes'' and 6 ''you knows'' per sentence.
I get it, they are not professional presenters and are just trying to help but at least review your video before uploading it.

Came across a video on FB the other day. Nick Faldo promising to give you an extra 30 yards with a simple 60 second fix. After 20 minutes he was still going on about what he had won, how he was still hitting the ball as far as he did in his heyday, but no mention yet of what the fix was. I gave up at that point.

Still not got my car back after a minor prang on Boxing Day!

Took nearly 3 weeks to get it relayed from Cumbria to Essex and now its stuck in a repair centre. I can never get through to talk to anyone and their method of communication is by Text message. (Which I am unable to reply to)

Every few days I get an "Update" which is always the same, "Delay in getting parts, hope to get them by xx, will be in touch on xx to confirm, hope to get your car returned by xx"

Its pathetic, the thing needed a new wheel and tyre. (both in stock at Volvo) maybe a corner section of the bumper and the tracking doing.

Its mad the wait for things ATM. My colleague had a minor prang in his leaf last year think it was 4 months waiting for a panel for it

My Corsa been in with vauxhall since 24th January, they found the issue within a day, said we want it fixed by day after (wiring loom to the abs, nothing to do with ev side pure bread and butter stuff for them) so waited. Still waiting now! Got a call yesterday to say look the part is still not here so what we going to do tomorrow (today) is take the loom from one of our stock cars and put in yours

Litterally stealing parts from their fleet as they want it out their workshop lol well more true is that they want the loan EV back as it's the only one and everyone wants it

If it was the same one I saw a while ago, he never gets round to telling you - you have to pay to hear that bit

You didn't fall for that grip cheat nonsense, I'd expect if you got to the end it will involve signing up and paying 😉

Hearing someone on the radio yesterday referring to their dog which they said was a cavapoochon - King Charles Spaniel, Poodle and Bichon Frishe cross. How many times will dogs need to be crossed for this madness to stop? Will we be getting names made from 6 or 7 breeds in the near future - labrapoocavchonrusstreiver anyone?

Taking this to the extreme would be a good thing - the more cross-breeding the better.
The healthiest dogs are the Heinz 57 mutts.
