Some people out there are so unaware of others. Am I the only one who looks behind me before turning?

Carpathius Dec 2017 9:19am, 15 Dec 2017 12,889 posts	0 Carpathius The inability to find decent mincemeat at my local shops this morning. There's a McColls (used to be a Co-Op), a bakery, a greengrocers, a general store/off licence and an Aldi. Aldi's offering looked far too 'minced' and nowhere else sold it apart from the bakery which wanted £3 for a small jar of Tiptree's. Also, when typing on my 'phone and using hyphens and apostrophes it automatically puts a space before the hyphen or apostrophe. I don't want to type McColl 's It doesn't ever learn my preference so I have to fiddle about deleting the space.
