    Shouldn't  that be followed by the inevitable Kenneth Williams pic ? 
    Prefer the Frankie Howerd one myself -

    Having to wait an age for a bus that always turns up late then as schools are out they turn up early and zoom off as I approach the door. which leads me to kick the side of the thing. Hurting me more than the bus can you believe.

    I once broke a toe doing that to a GWR train. And now I'll be on the CL naughty step for daring to kick a train.

    The amount of night buses that have driven past me as I stood there holding my arm out... Next bus in 45-60 minutes.

    Bus drivers are a law unto themselves.

    People taking their pets for walks.

    Obviously not dogs. But increasingly I see people taking all sorts of weird pets for a walk along the prom or in the high st. I've seen people with snakes around their neck strolling along, one bloke was taking his (massive tbf) tortoise on the beach for exercise, and I see people walking cats on leads or carrying them around all the time.

    This weekend I saw some attention seeker wandering around with a parrot on his shoulder and the weekend before some bloke sitting on the clifftop with a cage full of blummin' birds. Talk about Bullseye style "look at what you could've won!" cruelty.

    As an extension to your point I see no justification for anyone to have a ‘reptile’ as a pet. It’s so unnatural. 

    They aren’t pets and can only be justified in zoos or similar.

    Who are we to say that any animals should be pets though tbf? They’re only acceptable because humans have made it so.

    Maybe but ‘reptiles’ is so unnatural for them to be limited in their surroundings.

    There's a girl who's often sitting on Westerham Green with some sort of snake and I've got a story from my shopkeeping days, involving a reptile and Rolph Harris, I'll share it when I ain't grafting.

    When you just find the man who knows everything. In a pub would you believe.
    Way he's going on I got a feeling he might know Southall. Who are these people? And they always seem to do well with complete callousness. Scary fuckers seem to or have taken over this country.

    Bad hanger etiquette.

    Holiday cottage has plentiful wooden hangers for guests.
    Every now & then I open the wardrobe doors to find some barstewards have taken the lovely wooden ones and left behind their skanky plastic ones.

    Didn’t expect family to be one of them mind.

    Fuming 🤬

    The way that car companies manipulate the prices of car colours so that people have to pay well over the odds if they want anything other than this quinquennial's base colour. I know that Henry Ford famously said, "you can have any colour you like as long as it's black", but that was 100 years ago. I'd have hoped we'd have moved on from that now.

    In recent history we've had periods where red, white, silver and most recently black have been priced to be the dominant colour. Now, that god-awful dull grey is being foist upon us, with every other new car looking like it's had an undercoat but nothing more. The noticeable back up colour in this season of car colour hideousness is that horrible beige that's the colour of surgical stockings. Its so unnecessarily boring, and given the dullness of recent colour picks, potentially more dangerous with vehicles blending into the background.

    I asked for my Veyron to come in avacado, but they wanted another £200k, so I settled for the Dacia Sandero in grey
