Also, you know when you fill the sink with hot water and washing up liquid to clean a dish, when there's a horrible wet floaty bit of food from someone's plate and it touches you, makes me want to projectile everywhere
Ladyromford would agree with you on this @limeygent - she freaks out going over the QE2 or the Severn Bridge and wouldn't even consider walking over the wobbly bridge in London. What is it about this particular bridge though? How long is it and is it a swayer? Or is it an irrational unease for you?

It's over 4 miles across and about 185 feet over the water. The problem with driving over it is that the barriers at the sides are very low, and, particularly in an SUV, it feels like you can drive over the side.
Thankfully a tune now long lost in the mists of time, but even thinking about 'SIng Something Simple' still fills me with a feeling of dread and impending doom. Don't know if it has this effect on anyone else?

Gets my vote. Look at it. Is it a double decker? looks like it. Imagine that in gusty weather. No, I'd rather not.

Single decker, but it's three lanes on one span and two on the other, in the evening rush hour they reverse one of the lanes so that traffic coming the other way is on the same span. In windy weather high-sided vehicles are banned.
Pacific Rimmers will probably laugh at this, but the 5.8 earthquake we had here a few years ago was pretty unsettling. Felt like my heart was going to pound it's way out of my chest.

That's another thing that makes me feel ill at ease.

Agree Cherry. Takes me back to a time superbly portrayed by Tony Hancock in "Sunday Afternoon".
Bureaux de change, know I'm going to get ripped off.
1.31-0.95 the euro at Gatwick airport ... seriously how can that be legal
People who buy currency at the airport don't even deserve parity. between GBP/EUR
Why would you EVER buy at the airport when you can do click and collect and pick up at the same airport bureau at the 'normal' rates.
The bureaux at the airport give bad rates as:
1 - they have to pay a lot of money to be there. 2 - they are contractually obliged to be open 24 hours which increases their costs compared to a high street branch of the same company.

Actually, just public conveniences.
For the benefit of the deaf.

Get over it as they say.
Tense isn't the word.
