eBay sellers who state Royal Mail as the courier but then use Hermes.

Then to make matters worse, take 4 days to post an item.

People who don’t turn up on time. Builder supposed to be here at 9 this morning, rescheduled from yesterday.

We change our plans this morning so he can come this morning, but guess what he’s still not here.

Another roadworks irritation - and it doesn't show up on any website....
Outside the house of one of my pupils some workmen were setting up cones and lights reducing the road to 1 Lane....
A pain, I had to park in a side street but not a major irritation...
At the conclusion of the lesson we had to park up in the same spot....although the roadworks were non-existent...
The cones were there, the lights were there.....and there was nothing going on.......no trucks, no workmen, no nothing.......

And....in Aylesbury, a big new Sainsbury store has opened..the entrance is on one of the busiest roads in town.
Traffic lights manage the flow (joke) of traffic as the junction has become a crossroads..
As soon as thenlights change to red on the main road to let people out of the shop the queues begin and within 30 seconds are causing gridlock at a roundabout 1/4 of a mile away...the lights then change to allow traffic from the opposite side to the shop to move..it takes about a minute to get back to the main road phase..by which time the queues are horrendous.....
It now takes 3 times as long to drive the 1/4 of a mile and can't be good for emissions with all the additional traffic at a standstill or moving very slowly....

The road gang will propably start Sunday morning and claim the extra overtime that brings them....

I'd like to add "cut here" dashed lines on products that are in the wrong place. You cut along the line, on a packet of cheese for example, but the packet remains closed and you have to make a second cut to actually open it.

It’s Xmas time , people should be looking to enjoy the festive period and spend time with families and yet it seems more and more are just miserable with everything ?

That’s not how it goes!

It’s Christmas time
There’s no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade.

Sadly there are a lot of things to be miserable,e about at the moment and some things take precedence over Xmas.

I'll raise you "resealable" bags...the time spent trying to get them to reseal...drives me crackers!
