When people petitioned and campaigned to abolish bus lanes, succeed, and still don’t use those lanes - causing congestion that they were moaning about!

Binley Road, nobody seems to use it. A couple of people even honk at you for going down it.

(Not that I've been there for a while, so can't tell you if it's still suspended!)

Think they all are still suspended. Next time you’re up there just watch the 30mph average!

Oooh, can I do another annoyance then? People who slow down for the average speed camera. It's an average speed camera, so if you've been barrelling along at 25mph+ above the speed limit, slowing to 37 in a 40 zone for roadworks ain't going to cut it!

Also don't be surprised if that means I pull out on you, because I want to overtake the car in front who's also slowed down!

I sort of hope that continues, it provides a daily laugh for me. No idea what average means, sorry!

It's more when they then end up going slower than me, then seem to take offence at, once they drop back from my blind spot, me pulling out to overtake the car in front, and not accelerating up to the speeds they were going at previously.

If you want to overtake me, fine, but at least have the decency to do it!

I'm normally not a fan of speed cameras, but the average speed cameras really weed out the intellectually deficient members of society.

Fookers all seem to settle at 30mph even when it's 40 .
Doing my head on the Ansty rd .
Takes me twelve minute's to do around 3 miles to the M69 in the morning .
Pathetic.
I've nearly got to the M1 in around the same amount of time .
Like NW says you can barely get out to change lane, overtake etc .

When a shop is one in one out, somebody comes out but they don't let you in. Fuming.

It's as if they want people windmilling

Well I'm in one lol

It's work related though, so not sure if that's exempt or something.

Either that, or I've just bullshitted my way into free accommodation

Although, the Miller and Carter across from the hotel is tempting, but closed

Supermarkets have to be one of the places where you are at most risk from catching the virus. You would think everyone would be vigilant wouldn't you?

I am sick of seeing people bumbling around with absolutely no awareness of what is going on around them. It amazes me that they have even survived in society this long. Then you get to the till and some overweight whale in front of you with a trolley full of a hundred bags of chicken nuggets ploughs on ignorantly whilst you have to wait to pay for the two items you needed to come in for.

The latter gripe is more aimed at Lidl, Aldi, and Morrisons.

I know it's probably a danger of this thread overlapping, but I gave a wide birth to the maskless loon, banging on to the poor checkout assistant about spiritual healing, and how that would save him from Covid. Seen him twice now - first time wasn't sure what the context was, second time it was absolutely clear!

I might change the time I go shopping!

I would just kick his ankles out from behind 'by accident' as he's leaving the store and make sure he hits the concrete.

He'll want to wear a mask when his teeth have been knocked out.

People in supermarkets drive me crazy. Like you say, just meander around seemingly without a care in the world. Also when there’s a group of about 7 of them treating it as a family outing - bizarre behaviour. Get in, get your stuff on your list, get out. If you’re in there for longer than 30-40 minutes you’re doing something wrong.

What bugs me about all this is I’m no believer in any COVID-19 conspiracy - the only thing I’ve questioned is the apparent origin. I wear a mask when I should and generally stick to the rules, and get called a “sheep” for doing so. But someone who has read/heard some far fetched conspiracy and claimed it as their own isn’t a “sheep”? Bill Gates must control my thoughts, I don’t know.

Bothers me too. All their crap can be disproved with a ten second google so who is the one mindlessly believing what they’re told here exactly?

Back to shopping, if you’re taking a big trolley through self-checkout, scanning, then packing after you’re finished, then you’re a bit of a c*nt!

And then we'll play a team whose kit is a slightly darker shade of blue and decide to wear the home shirt as there's no clash.

It's not just her, even Ken Bruce is in on it!

Anyway, compared to Vanessa Feltz, Zoe Ball is a conversational genius!

Every fucker is so slow today.

The roads have been full of people who are so indecisive, shops full of dickheads who want to stand and chat to the person on the till while there's about 10 people waiting.

They should be told to isolate for years, slow pricks.
