Definitely.
Why are British men of every age so keen to display so much of their legs? When I go for my Costa coffee even in August adult men are more likely to be exhibitionists than women. Put your legs away, they are disgusting! Other European countries haven't adopted these habits away from the beach.
Just been to Romania, Croatia and Czech with some pretty awful sites to be seen there too so afraid they have adopted these habits.

Is that an actual thing or a comedy sketch?
A perverse attempt to 'shame' Tesco, I'd say, for blocking their Clubcard, not that Tesco gives a damn. It only impacts other, real customers and the poor employee who has to return the goods to the shelf. I've seen something similar happen in the past. Some people are just a pain wherever they go!
Those who when half way around their shop decide that an item they put into their basket/trolley they no longer want so instead of returning it to where they got it they simply dump it on the nearest shelf.
Guilty as charged, but only when the supermarket has decided to rather stupidly put two different bits of the same product half a store apart...
It's to keep you on your toes.
As long as you're not dumping a chilled product in the freezer when you discover the frozen equivalent is cheaper (or vice-versa). That's an offence that hanging should be brought back for!
The amount of meat I used to find dumped on ambient shelves or in the clothing section, ugh.As long as you're not dumping a chilled product in the freezer when you discover the frozen equivalent is cheaper (or vice-versa). That's an offence that hanging should be brought back for!
No, I don't do that, don't worry.As long as you're not dumping a chilled product in the freezer when you discover the frozen equivalent is cheaper (or vice-versa). That's an offence that hanging should be brought back for!
Your real name isn't, by any chance, Jeffreys
?Along with an earth leakage circuit breaker which costs something like £10 and might save your life.
This is rampant on motorways all over the country at present. In most cases it's to add extra refuge areas to not-as-smart-as-they-ought-to-be motorways. The cost of retrofitting them is probably at least 10 times what they would have cost if installed during the original conversion, from which they were value-engineered out. And that's without considering the cost of the widespread congestion and consequential delays. Meanwhile successive governments bemoan Britain's poor productivity figures. Probably the DfT officials who instructed refuges to be reduced from one every half mile to one every two miles have been rewarded with a promotion to cause havoc elsewhere.
No, but that is my ancestor!Your real name isn't, by any chance, Jeffreys
I understand that Judge J. suffered from a painful kidney disease; on medical advice, no doubt thought to be "on the money" at the time, he copiously imbibed "alcoholic refreshment" to alleviate symptoms of same. This combination likely played a part in his notorious harshness and ferocity in the aftermath of the Monmouth rebellion -- understandable, even though not excusing his conduct. (Being "under the influence" tends to make some people jolly and benign, suffering notwithstanding; it would seem that your ancestor was not in that category !)No, but that is my ancestor!
He's my great*10 or great*12 ( I forget how many greats exactly!! And why can't we do superscript on here...? ) grandfather on my mother's mother's side.
Yes... past medical advice is certainly frequently wide of the mark; I'd suspect part of his ferocity might have been due to pressure from his boss ( James II ) wanting to make sure the rebels were not in a position to try again? He still ended up in the Tower anyway, but fell ill and died before he could be given a taste of his own medicine.
Or anybody who expects immediate replies to anything and then sends a row of question marks if they don't get their instant reply.
There will have been auditions before deciding who will be put forward as contestants for the programme. I've often wondered if the producers of some quiz shows deliberately choose a few people who aren't too bright for their comedy value.
On the other hand, it's irritates me that many of the contestants in today's game shows, particularly the ones with high stakes like Million Pound Drop or am Ant & Dec's Limitless win, have job titles such as marketing executive or financial director. I have nothing against the wealthy taking part in these game shows, but it feels like an uneven split. Where are the forklift driver/housewife combinations that used to frequent Bullseye every week?
