Just went to put £50 of petrol in car - £50.02

Why can't we have pumps like they have abroad where you put in the amount you want and it dispenses that amount

Oh you said 'minor', keep moving. Unless you're using Southern Rail.

Did you pay cash then?

I get more annoyed having to put in how much petrol I want, when all I want to do is fill the tank.

Having to wipe other people's wee splashes off a toilet seat before lowering the undercarriage.

Dog shit not being cleared up resulting in treading in said dog shit.

Crap street lighting so at night, you can't see dog shit.

These may or may not be linked.

Not sure if it's just me, but peeing in two different directions at once, and having the dilemma of choosing which strand of liquid gold should hit the target...

Sometimes this can be splashback from the flush. But still, that should also be wiped by the previous user.

I'm taking no chances!

The old 'No2' is something I don't contemplate at the Amex - well, not after 3pm anyway. Half time, and not only is the seat covered in assorted specimens, but the floor is like a swimming pool - which by coincidence, usually has wee in it.

Have to admit I tend to go by litres rather than £ as that's how nectar points are allocated!

Abso-f**king-lutely. Literally the dumbest "improvement" on our roads and pavements. There was never a need to change a perfectly good system that works the world over. Now if, one person is standing in front of the thing, no one can see whether the man is green or red. If there was a need to install these things to help some people, that's fine but why do away with the green/red man across the street that EVERYONE else can see. Grrrr.

Ha-ha, that made me laugh and brought back memories of the urinals at the Goldstone, back in the day.
Oh, the heady aroma of pee, mixed with fag smoke,the smell of dodgy pies and the odd fart here and there.
The sheer nostalgia of it all!

I am now a total petrol grump. I want to pay at the pump, not queue up in M&S behind a bunch of dithering face stuffers, waiting to be served by a disinterested, but strangely aloof misfit in an M&S uniform.
