    Folks that take half their fucking house to the beach. Was at Joss Bay earlier today and there were people with multiple tables and cheers with three course bloody meals and a bar’s worth of ale, oh and don’t get me started on the ghetto blaster pricks.

    American golf spectators chanting "USA, USA" every time an American holes a putt.
    During the Ryder Cup, President's Cup or similar event, it's fine. Any other event, it's unnecessary and irritating.

    In particular, buying pointless tat like big pictures that say ‘HOME’ or ‘RELAX’, new towels just because you’ve had your bathroom decorated, those bloody ‘gift bags’ which cost more pointless money, new dresses as you can’t wear the one you wore before at someone else’s wedding. 

    Actually weddings. Especially ones that people have taken a year to prepare for, have bloody everything to match everything else - serviettes, tooth picks, toilet roll. Why not just go to Gretna Green and save the money for something better.

    Oh yeah, had a guy buy a Berlingo van from me   Came back to me 15 months later and 14k miles and demanded I replace the head gasket because he had run it with a leaking rad and cooked it in traffic coming up Blackheath Hill.

    Another one wanted a new tyre 6 weeks after buying the car because the sidewall had a bulge and the rim was damaged after clipping a kerb.

    Especially when the average cost of a wedding is 25k. Why? And then moan that you can’t get on the property laddder. Never understand it.

    My observation is that, the more expensive the wedding, the shorter the marriage...

    My first wedding was in the 80s when you did it on a budget by hiring a local hall that had a license so you could set up your own bar on a trestle table. Marriage lasted 3 years. 
    Second wedding was in a registry office, cost £80 and we had two neighbours as witnesses followed by a bottle of champagne and a Wallace and Gromit iced cake from Sainsburys. It was also on April 1st at 9am. The ‘groom’ (an arch bastard as I later found out) went to work afterwards. Marriage lasted a year. 
    Met Mr Tatters and we’ve never married. Been together 24 years.
