Fan The Flames Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 BBC news when handing over to another correspondent having to include their job title like Asian Editor, no one cares. And then you have the ****s who correct their colleagues "no John I'm the Asian Correspondent', we don't give a **** about the BBC job hierarchy we are just mildly interested in what the ****s in China are up to.

Petrol stations that are now Supermarkets, which makes everyone take about 10 hours to pay for fuel whilst they browse for Aberdeen Angus Steaks.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That’s if you can find a petrol station. We used to have over half a dozen in Chandlers Ford and now we’re down to one. I don’t count Asda’s because its tanks are full of water. Supermarkets who open coffee shops which means that their car parks are full up because everybody who has finished their shopping is sitting in the coffee shop. Scrap that. Coffee shops in general. What a waste of a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 21 July, 2019 Share Posted 21 July, 2019 TVs and other electronic devices that take an age to ‘warm up’. When I were a boy in the 1950s a radio would take 8 seconds to warm up and a TV 20 seconds and we thought that was a long time. Mind you, that was a modern tele which we didn’t get until about 1957.

No wonder people get sick after leaving meat and stuff in the boot of the car or the shopping trolley for half an hour whilst drinking coffee. I don't remember that many petrol stations in Chandler's Ford actually, must have had pumps at Hendy's I suppose but other than that I don't recalll many, perhaps behind Selwood's or something, never adventured there.
