Most annoying riding behaviour of motorcyclists
Go on. Have a go. I'll try & defend some of it. I get alot of grief on the roads from ignorant drivers for doing things i'm perfectly & legally entitled to do..... Such as traffic filtering. A64 contraflow for example. 3 miles of queued & very slow moving traffic up on a dual carriageway. I filter between the 2 lanes up…

Thames Water sneaky price increase
I think i am not dreaming...... Last year when i paid my annual water bill to Thames water i am sure i paid 10 installments by Direct debit This years bill only allows you to pay the annual bill with 1, 2 or 8 direct debits. If that isnt an underhanded way of increasing prices i dont know what is. Anyone else noticed this ?

5* Feedback
My millenium New Years resolution was to give praise to companies who gave really good service - in the same way as I would to those companies giving bad. I wondered how many of you actually let a company/organisation know when they're doing something right? I've had a great response and two companies said I was the first…

I am so annoyed - I needed to speak to someone at Currys in Worcester and the only number you can use is the 0870 number - which then directs you to press 1 or 2 or 3 etc to 'direct your call'.

I did all the preparatory work & still it didn't freeze it well enough to kill it. Well, looks like plan B, a sustained & rather…

Most hated driving behaviour of other motorists?
Firstly, let me state that i'm in no way a perfect driver. ( nearly but not quite :) ) Dunno if its just me, but i've noticed in the past few months a huge increase in the number of people who either don't bother to indicate, or use it as an afterthought, as if its part of the manouvre itself. Now i don't tailgate, but if…
