On the supermarket theme..

Taxi drivers who perform outrageous maneuvers in Tesco car park after dropping someone off, last week one actually hit the trolley I was pushing after slamming his car in reverse..to$$ers.

Scumbags who use the parent and child spaces when they have no children, usually someone with a 'nice' car who wants to take advantage of the bigger space. Miss Katonas ex used to do this..nuff said.

The fact that Tesco doesn't have that side entrance open all the time...WHY?!

Tesco garage and the Spar in Padgate doing 'special offers' on Pepsi Max. Such as £1 a bottle instead of £2.09 or whatever. On Monday night I was in there and there was a shelf full of Pepsi Max. About 6 wide and four deep on two levels. Approx 50 bottles, plus two more unopened crates on the floor.

I go in on Tuesday morning and there are none on the shelf but a big advert for them is still up as is the offer tag on the shelf and it's in the offers brochure they put through my door that morning.

Pathetic. Tesco does it as well, the Garage off Hilden Road roundabout. I've even seen them removing them from the shelves.

But who would I write to about this? Office of fair trading? Pepsi? Tesco/Spar HQ?

I'm not overly keen on grown men who shout down the isles to their partners, "Do we need beans love, love, do we neeed beans ..."

It tends to be middle aged men with forearm tattoos, who oddly wear Mickey Mouse t-shirts.

Car Park on Winwick Street\Tanners Lane that has signs saying £2:20 ALL DAY which they cover with a £4 sign 2 hours before kick off on match days.

Is this another for Trading Standards

Like the post - things that wind me up.
- Pronouncing economic with the accent on the e rather than eh-co-nomic - an Americanism which even the BBC and Gideon Osborne are guilty of (you can add sked-ule rather than shed-ule to that one)
- The way the country is referred to as the UK rather than Britain now. Always used to be Britain's No.1 or British forces etc.
- Supermarket car parks - do they design them to be as difficult as possible to get around?
- Describing people as two-time or three-time champions rather than double or triple.
- I'd echo the comments on the brainless nonentities that seem to be famous for being famous these days.

I don't like baguettes.

Somehow, they give me 'lip paper cuts' when I'm eating it. It's just too much of a trauma for me, the pain afterwards like.

Reality TV or anything that Z List losers claim to be a "Celebrity" programs and then all the reports about this on the telly in newspapers on Twitter or Facebook. I don't care about some idiots in Essex or in a house for 3 months. A singing show or talent where the best ones actually don't qualify because some weirdo who is actually talentless can sell more space in the tabloids. There is a reason why these z listers ain't famous anymore and it is because we got fed up with you first time round so don't be brainwashing the youth of today into thinking you are anything else that crap.

Adrian Chiles and that Irish bird that's on TV on a morning. Pair of talentless morons.
Geordie Shore. Absolute brainless idiots.
