    A Strange Custom ?

    I'm with CJ. I don't give a stuff if it's a particular "culture" - this is England and English law applies. Locking a woman up and preventing her going about whatever she chooses to do is domestic abuse, pure and simple!

    Energy Suppliers.

    If you use OVO energy, they pay you 3% interest on your surplus balance. Better than any bank account or ISA, so it's worth over-paying, then just ask them for it back just before Christmas! They insist you have one month's bill in credit.

    Yeah sorry ED ... got sidetracked! Sikhism is one of the things that DOESN'T actually annoy me!!

    A Strange Custom ?

    What Rattles outlines will now qualify under the new definition of domestic abuse, so it's illegal. How big is her old man???

    Things that annoy you

    I heard an article on BBC CWR a little while back that the Department for Education were playing silly buggers with the Siva School, as Ofsted had rated the governing academy trust as inadequate, so DfE told them they had to move to a different multi-academy trust which they (the DfE) specified...

    Energy Suppliers.

    Just to say, that is my understanding. You might want to check! I understand Google is good at that sort of thing. But asking on the relevant page of MoneySavingExpert would be a sound idea.

    Interesting decision of Warwickshire Highways not to grit Crackley Lane from Kenilworth to Westwood Heath though, given the amount of n-power (or is it E-On?), Network Rail and Uni traffic that uses it as a cut through. Bit dicey in parts this morning.

    Things that annoy you

    People who drink coffee out of their stupid fucking "bitty cups" while driving. Probably as much of a hazard as holding a mobile to answer a call ***, as it obscures their view while taking a slurp. And you hear stories of people being prosecuted for not being in proper control of their vehicle...

    Energy Suppliers.

    I'd recommend having a word with Citizens Advice, who do a lot on energy suppliers, but you could also report them to Ofgem IF they don't stop doing what they are doing if you have told them to! They cannot change your DD willy-nilly. I think they have to give you 14 days' notice.

    Anyone would think there were no additional checks to be an Uber driver!!! It's the sheer NUMBER of the buggers that gets me, stopping at random to let people in and out! And obviously all licensed by the City of Wolverhampton!

    Well there's nothing in the Highway Code that says you shouldn't do that! Done it on the odd occasion, but not a regular.

    Things that annoy you

    OK, next one on my list - people (and news organisations, etc) who re-tweet news articles (especially from the BBC website) without making any comment on them, so if you search for a hashtag or phrase, you get an endless stream of the same retweet, and the same image, with no meaningful input...

    You don't honestly expect a roundabout next to a university to have people who display a modicum of intelligence, do you?? But that one at Kirby Corner is particularly bad. Also, for the number of knobs who enter the island in the right lane (as you do, correctly) then force their way in to a...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Warning - this person probably falls into the "obviously hot" bracket, but If any of you are watching "You" on Netflix (and I recommend you do), I'm sure you'll agree that Elizabeth Lail who plays the female lead "Beck" is sexy beyond belief!

    But where's their risk assessment for working at height??!

    Agreed - saw it quite a while ago, after someone suggested it (my wife works for Citizens Advice). Highly recommended, and bloody infuriating!! Available on iPlayer, by the way
