Buying weed killer in Spain, or any number of chemicals for different applications. A licence is needed for the powerful stuff, which is sensible. Being asked for one is rare. It’s too easy to get something that you need to be very careful in how you handle. It’s too easy to get, quite literally, your fingers burned and worse - been there.

Back garden sorted but 10 minutes in the shower afterwards. At least I knew beforehand this time.

The complete and utter 🤡 wandering around the petrol station with a lit cigarette in their mouth

Many years my mate and I were were wiring up the pumps on a new petrol station . We were passing the cigs between us through one of the pumps. The manager came flying out when he saw it - the petrol tanks had been filled up a couple of days earlier.

I'm with Imurg on the driving, we've been in Cornwall for a week and the standard of motorway driving is shocking, I still think it should be an additional test to get on the motorway.

Cooking Christmas dinner this year has been an irritation - being asked to cook a couple of bits that barely got touched, MiL & SiL insisted I cook a ridiculous amount of roast potato's, half of them thrown away, and to top it off I had various people loitering with advice, eventually said if they needed something to do then the table needed setting.

Apparently there are calls for signage and layout to be checked as more and more people are ending up going the wrong way down a motorway....numbers have increased dramatically
Seriously, you have to try really hard to go the wrong way at a motorway roundabout...unless you're doing it deliberately you shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car as you have the iq of a flea....

There was an incident up here of that nature earlier this year. Not motorway, but the A1. At work then following day we simply couldn't work out between us how they did it. Multiple horrific and bad decisions, not one 'easily explainable' decision.
