Random Irritations

Newspaper mastheads:
Sunday Telegraph - Sunday Newspaper of the Year
Sunday Times - Sunday Newspaper of the Year
Sunday Mirror - Sunday Newspaper of the Year

Which one is it, they can’t all be ? Or is it a very real case of not believing what you read in the newspapers?
Do any of them say precisely which year? :)
 
Going to a restaurant in Barcelona on Christmas Eve, Hobbit will understand, but around 10 groups came in and asked whether there was a free table. Unbelievable Jeff!

It is Christmas Eve, little open and no planning whatsoever. We have had a table booked for almost a month.
 
So…. At 4:45 this morning (Christmas Day) the doorbell rang, waking all 5 house occupants.

Threw on specs and dressing gown and raced downstairs to A, find out which idiot was ringing the bell at this time. B) try to avoid waking up the street.

Nobody at the door……….

The cat was leaning on the plug in doorbell thingy, with an evil grin on its face.

Then at 6 am Elaine’s normal weekday 6 am alarm went off

Jeez 🙄
 
The number of drivers this morning who veer wildly or hit the brakes to slow down to 20 mph in the overtaking lane of a dual carriageway because there's a bit of a puddle.
 
The tourist tax in some parts of Spain, especially Barcelona. They make almost €100 million each year, Graded by the type of hotel and in our case 4* Superior which is €4.45 per person per night. What is worse is that they add tax on that! Rather than circa €4.90 let’s round it up to €5.

! Es un timo!
