I hate the person who simply pushes infront of you at the supermarket because they only have one or two items - if they ask I do not have a problem, but when they slyly push infront , dont look at you and the check out lass just starts on their goods thats bugs me. So I have made a point in all the places I shop of pointing to my pile on the conveyor belt and saying I hope you will put it back for me as I have an urgent appointment elsewhere... see yer. Then i walk out

Non-Brits who take the mick about us queueing. It's only good manners for Pete's sake! First at the bus stop = first on the bus. First at the meat counter = first to get served. First at the veg stall on the market = first to get served. Wait your b**** turn!!! Good manners cost nowt! :-D

Morning Christine glad your ok. Know what you mean about time of life as I'm about six years into mine. I used to flush for England. That's another thing...I know there's supposed to be a male menopause but I'm sure they dont suffer as some of us women do. As for the snoring I've tried everything bar putting a pillow over his face, me think's that may be next though. :-)))) Jan

Glad to hear you are feeling better today Christine :) I watched a program about the time of life, for most women it only lasts for 10yrs but it can be longer... aaaargh! (umm.......can someone pass the rat poison, I don't think I could become any 'rattier' than I am now!!) What is it with this restless leg syndrome? Is it only men that suffer with it? Just as I start to drop off DH decides to start the one legged jig! O for seperate beds... :) (bless him)

And another thing! Me and OH walking down the street side by side. Single pedestrian comes towards us so we go into single file to allow them to pass on pavement. Me walking along alone. Come towards couple waliking side by side. Do they do likewise? Do they *&^%$*&! They seem to expect me to step into the gutter, but NO! I just stand there, make like a telegraph pole then they gotta walk around. I'll be burgered if I'm stepping into the gutter or a busy road when the pavement is there.... grumble grump grump... manners again! ah, better now :-}}

People who push in at bus stops. Inconsiderate motorists who park on the pavement blocking the way.

my pet hate at the mo is those invalid carriages. we live in a sea side town so there are plenty of them. why are pedestrians invisible to them? So many of us have crushed feet. The best one I saw yesterday was a blind guy in one. He was gaily motoring along the pavement tap, tap, tapping with his white stick. It didn't bode well for small tots and doggies!
