Lots of things could bug the life out of me but I'm too lazy to get irritated LOL

I have learnt that being irritated isn't good for your blood pressure.

One of my biggest irritations is IGNORANCE

I hate ignorant people. Both online and in public. It really annoys me when people DELIBERATELY ignore you. Some people may not have heard you or read your posts but I know if someone is being ignorant and know they are being ignorant. Examples:-

Online I have commented on, dished advice on peoples posts and said hello to them and they have deliberately ignored me and a few others while talking to their friends on the site as they have logged in after my posts. Also, I have left "Hello" comments on sites such as Islandoo and the other member has deleted them as they disappear off their comments page yet they are charming with others. Why are people like that? I am trying to make conversation???

Me and my mate had the same problem at the Pancras & Islington Cemetery. The woman bringing the indices out was fine but her superior was really unhelpful and unpleasant.

Have any of you ever had obnoxious or rude record office archivists who just dont want to help at all?

I once visited the St Pancras & Islington Cemetery to find a few of my ancestors burials and one lady kept sighing and tutting every time I asked her for another burial book. Its her ******* job to serve the people. Another one snapped at me when I asked her to confirm for me if there was more than one book for each year, one was for the church and one was for the chapel.

Uggers if you call Edgware people Londoners, I shall start calling Liverpool people Brummies then shall I???

And while I'm being pedantic, Sally:))) The sound of Bow Bells doesn't refer to Bow in East London but to the bells of St Mary le Bow in Cheapside - so Cockneys and East enders ain't the same thing:)))

Enfield is in Middlesex but council tax is paid to "The London Borough of Enfield" so is it London or not?
