people on their poxy phones walking across in front of you on the road, its not just youngsters either, some person who should know better did it, looked at me and carried on, so so wanted to run her over but apparently thats not cool according to my teenage daughter!

 


Sometimes I set out for Ludlow
Sometimes I end up in Chepstow

1 Shop assistants I've never met before who call me 'mate'.

2 Bar staff who refer to my wife as a 'guy'.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I’ve had this one a long while and it’s not getting better :-( People that walk either towards me or I have to walk past as they are standing or shuffling along talking on their mobile phones. And talking at the top of their voice so that you can hear one part of the conversation as they walk along. I can’t think of much worse in my day to day life? Grrrrr!

And rest (close brackets)

I find that there are two sides of mobile telephone use. Now and again the opportunity is given to give guidance. In the open "do be alert, it is a dangerous world" On transport - always good. Managed to explain to a gentleman on a Lewisham bus that he was being careless - telling the world when he would be seeing the inside of one of Croydon's Courts for sentencing and wearing Arsenal leisure wear. priceless.

People who are about to leave a shop, building or escalator, but suddenly stop. Normally with a friend or two they just stop. Look through bags, check their pockets, or discuss something. Right in the middle of a doorway or as people are trying to get off the escalator.
"Move ! you c-units" I cheerfully shout.

Has anyone else mentioned James Corden ?

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

I'll extend that, FH, to include all ditherers.

Regarding people walking towards me but looking at their phone, I've now taken to standing my ground, even to the point of them bumping into me, when I of course have braced myself for the impact but they haven't. Quite a few times, the other person's phone has gone flying and one time the screen broke as it hit the ground, most satisfyingly so. Occasionally the other person is a "young lovely", which therefore adds to the experience

I hope one day to encounter James Corden in this way.

The proliferation of the question-mark at the end of a statement?

Who needs a bank teller or indeed a bank branch these days?
