Those ones where you have to show which pictures have traffic lights in are bad enough, but the ones that are supposed to be letters, actually I think a machine may stand a better chance than me!

I think it's partly just the Americanisation that winds me up - I don't recognise words like "crosswalk" as being part of my language, so why should I have to pick them out of a line-up??? Plus it's very annoying when you're picking out bicycles and more bicycles keep appearing - how many times do you need me to do this before you acknowledge that I am a real person???Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
