I hate spending money on parking. I'll drive around for ages, wasting I don't know how much money on petrol, just looking for a free parking space!Sealed Pot challenge #59SPC5 total £473.600

Well no, it's part of my pet hates of paying for stuff and not getting what is advertised in return.
I pay for "justice" in this country, and witness nothing of the sort - it's not called the "Criminal Justice System" for nothing. Where do I pay for the "General Public Justice System"? I pay for "Council services" and "Health Services" and witness waste on an unparalleled scale.
I think Councils should compete for Wards. Nothing like losing a Ward to a neighbouring council - and all the taxes as well - to make them sharpen their act up..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

As this is turning into a bra thread..
I read an article in a medical journal that said bras were totally pointless and although wearers thought they prevented gravitational "issues" in later life, they actually caused the "issues" because the underlying muscles were so weak because they were not doing their job.

We have fabrics that can stop handgun bullets at point-blank range. Why is it beyond the wit of man to be able to keep a pair of breasts up over a reasonable period of time?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

I only ever wear one now when I am going to the dentist or the hairdresser, as I don't want my danglies hanging down the sides when I am practically horizontal.
I have a "bodice" type thing that rounds them up and points them in approximately the right direction, that I [STRIKE]suffer[/STRIKE] wear when we are out for an evening.
I can't really begrudge anything spent on clothing, as so far this calendar year my total is £13.
I do resent spending on things that I know can be bought far cheaper elsewhere. Paid £1.29 for a litre carton of orange juice yesterday, because it was all they had in the local Post Office and we needed some.I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

If you had large ones, you'd want small ones...
