How do you get the flip flop between your toes with socks on?
I do this all the time, great way of never being asked again.
Issue is now employers don't care about your experience unless you have the qualifications first. The amount of good candidates that go to waste just because they don't have a piece of paper that says 'degree in 'insert bullshit subject' is unreal.
Thats it sliders not flip flops (getting old)
I've only seen footballers with the "socks and sliders" generally at training?
Or do you mean on the street? if so, they're wronguns.
Nope. Had this when I lived in Foleshill all the time. They’ll remove racist graffiti (including anti English cos that’s what I reported) within 24 hours though.
We used to joke the best way to get them to remove bags of rubbish or an old fridge is to spray paint a swastika on it.
This is the problem with a unitary authority, the scope of services is much wider and they seem to deprioritise basic stuff like street cleaning when it comes to setting a budget.
I live in a small ish town with a lower tier borough council, bin collections and street cleaning are great as they're able to give them services greater priority. They even came round in a little truck spraying weed killer earlier this week. I've never seen that before.
Can they not get youth offenders doing this sort of stuff? cleaning the streets, looking after flower beds, removing graffiti?
Yeah I would rather people did that than went to jail for certain crimes
You might not for long. Government ordering reviews of setups like that, and the status quo is not an option, apparently.
Before lockdown used to drive down the A45 every day and that's terrible for litter. Do people just chuck things out of their cars rather than taking it home?
Not the best first impression for people coming into the city.
Comes with a cost still of admin and supervision, but as FP says cheaper than some punishments and might be taken out of the policing budget instead.
Sad as it is to say, the best thing is probably not to rely on the council and try and organise a regular community litter pick or something. Get a local garden centre to donate some plants, that sort of thing.
As a Labour member it’s something I think political parties should help with, put our money where our mouth is. I reckon a few hours of litter picking would probably do a lot more for a politicians public image than most of the stuff they do.
People who aspirate the letter 'h'. It's pronounced aitch not haitch. The TV adverts for Currys are full of it. The director of those adverts should be sacked for not correcting the dimwits that appear in them. It's something that really winds me up.

Starting work at 6am and there pumping dance music out over the radio! Bit to early for that
Need a bit of drum n base to get hyped up, then crash at work :'D
Arrogant pricks.
Went to the New Forest today to introduce Dabo to some horses and they have little car parks dotted around.
This one was full near several horses and there was two older ladies chatting by their cars. I politely asked "Have you just arrived, or are you leaving shortly?" They then said they are leaving, but I'll have to wait a few minutes. i.e, so they can finish their chat. (They were still chatting when we returned 20 mins later to our car)
Could have easily just moved their car so I could park and they could carry on chatting. I should have dropped the politeness after that and called them stuck up cunts.

Adding to that, was going down a country road and a DPD driver had blocked the road to drop off a parcel to a house, even though he could have swung into their drive.
Saw me before getting the parcel out his van, then didn't acknowledge me at all when returning to his van.
Absolute arrogant prick.

Think they’re bigger than they are. Mate, you’re driving a van that’s not even long wheel based, and not even 7ft wide. Why you blocking the road?! Those van drivers are the bane of our lives. We’ve got to manoeuvre our trucks slowly into small gaps with those inconsiderate cunts zipping around us like flies.
Truck drivers who do not know the meaning of safe distance
It originates from a British term, it is better said properly I.e. 'Copper' (to cop = to catch)
I know, but I just find Cops cringe. Copper, fine. Cop/Cops, too American.
Adding to this, people who call you/people brother non stop.
