    Why did you resurrect a two year old thread just to post that image?

    i got put off today for buying fruit on reduced.

    watching a little boy poke his fingers in a tub of strawberries and sticking his fingers in then licking his finger and going in again.

    His mother stood there poking other fruit, if i wasn't feeling so ill i would of said something to her.

    I also hate other people with suitcases on wheels. They carry it down the stairs, and then stop right at the bottom to pull the handle up and wheel it. Why not go to the side out of the way?!


    women with wheeled bags that are no bigger than a backpack, that end up dragging them at such an angle that they take up the space of 2 or 3 people
    & theyre usually in the middle of the pavement

    Excellent post, brettcta.

    Ignore any jobsworth who has delusions of modhood and whines about this being an old thread.

    There is no rule against necroing a thread and if the PTB didn't want it happening they could auto-lock all threads after a period of disuse.

    I noticed that you are looking a little blue today.

    I agree with the 'mom' thing but there are some (strange) parts of the UK where Mom is in use as the vernacular for mother.

    True, in Birmingham for example they say Mom, and that's a very strange part of the UK :rotfl:
    (Before anyone slates me for saying that I did grow up there and I'm still fond of the old place but that doesn't stop me taking the pee sometimes.)
