1) Double kissing. Ridiculous and affected continental habit now in vogue here. One peck is quite sufficient. We are one short step ( and its coming...from triple kissing )
2) Man hugging When did this start? A handshake is quite sufficient. A hug should be warm and loving and special. For some people its the normal form of greeting now.
3) Waiters/waitresses...." enjoy "......let me be the judge of that.
4) Locked public toilets in the middle of the day. Either open them or knock them down.
5) Car grills with permanent ' red noses ' attached to them. You don't wear a poppy all year round. Take them off until its that time of year again.
6) Food products shrinking in size but no price change. Its happening everywhere and the manufacturers say..." We want to maintain value for money for the consumer and not increase the shelf price " What a load of tosh. A 20% reduction in size is a 20% price increase.
7) Big expensive cars refusing to get over in country lanes. If you want to take the scenic route, be prepared to tuck yourself in and accept you are going to get the odd hedge-scrape.
8) Horse riders/Cyclists. Both riding two abreast, chatting away, without a care in the world, whilst the poor motorist behind is struggling to see clearly ahead and has to move completely to the other side of the road to pass.
9) Glued down toilet paper. Very clever. You have to rip away half the roll to get started. Odd tiny bits of paper all over the loo floor.
10) Litter. Don't get me started. There is a complete lack of respect, general. Plastic and cans and fast food strewn everywhere. No where is sacred. It needs a National attitude change but I'm not holding my breath in this lazy, self-centred society.
