Lew-T Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Facebook. People on Facebook posting their life stories, all for a bit of attention. I’ve actually seen people post photos of their deceased relatives hands. Come on, that moment should stay private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random I know, and probably a bit niche because I’m short! There is an issue generally these days with cars getting considerably bigger than they were only a decade or two ago. We're buying more biggies. I drive a Mini (well, you know what they say about blokes with big cars, the reverse is obviously true ) and it makes things much harder to reverse out of parking space when you've got an X-Trail parked on one side and a Toureg the other. Even worse if it's a Hilux or something, driven by someone who is obviously neither a farmer or builder. I can't berate unnecessary 4x4 owners as Mrs R has a Qashqai, but that's teeny compared to a lot of the monsters you see on the roads of Somerset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Young'uns who get on the bus and whilst there are plenty of other seats available make straight for the priority seats for elderly, pregnant or disabled.
