Edited by Willo (14 Sep 2016 8.59am) I have driven tractors between Angmering and Billingshurst a few times some years ago, and always gained lots of new friends behind me along the Long Furlong I would pull over every now and again, though, to let people pass. I remember when some "crop circles" appeared in the fields below the Long Furlong. People would just pull up beside the road to have a good look, causing long queues to build up behind them.

Are the BT engineers sent from India as well? What's the matter with BT? Don't they employ anyone locally any more?

Bt.. It's good to talk. It would be if any of the c***s spoke English proper like what I do... I had a bt sport account with them and when I moved I took broadband with them stating quite clearly at the time I wished to.give 30 days notice and get rid of bt sport. They opened me a separate account and instead of closing the old one they kept both active and took both amounts of money from my bank over several months. Umpteen phone calls where I kept being cut off usually after holding for well over 45 mins and the problem still wasn't resolved. Cancelled the standing order and after a couple of.months when they eventually realised they cut my services off. Finally getting resolved this evening . They now seem to have a team in Newcastle and the guy tonight said it's their aim by Christmas to bring 80% of their call centres and staff back to the uk and away from overseas / offshore. I was on the phone that long while their computers dealt with all this I had a long chat with the guy who is a toon supporter about all things pardew and gayle.

When people say on their radios, "Over and out". Grrrrrrr! It is either "over" or "out", not both together, knucklehead! TV shows where military types wear their berets totally incorrectly, and where Staff or Colour Sergeants are called 'Sarge" or "Sergeant" by their military colleagues. If they make a TV show involving military, at least do some basic research or employ an ex squaddie as an advisor!

Should only be worn by the wives or mothers of submariners. Pissed me off incredibly

Overused phrases such as "if you know what I mean" and "at the end of the day". And where on earth did the word physicality come from. I swear it has only appeared on our screens in the last 3-4 years! And the classic "He turned round and said..." used multiple times. You want to say "hold on, he's turned around 42 times now, is he not getting dizzy?"

I heard that word 'Physicality' this morning so bloomin' pretentious. "At the end of the day" was used on the BBC 4 part series "One of Us". Good show but couldn't believe it was used as it is such a ridiculously over used metaphor in such a good programme.
