Fierce and Focused Fleecy
My little tiny one near here the staff are usually ok, but Mr Fleecy refuses to shop there now because a few months ago he was in there with Ds1 and the checkout bloke refused to sell him a bottle of wine because it ‘might have been’ him buying it for Ds1. Because 16 year olds usually drink £10 bottles of Malbec as their tipple of choice, and it wasn’t more likely that it was a dad and son shopping for dinner together :)

Back in the 80s when such things were a novelty, I asked to pay by credit card for some booze in a corner shop. The shop owner looked at the card and at me and genuinely asked, Did you steal this?

Shallow wash basins with massive taps you hand barely get your hands under let alone your head.

those wanky plastic ball laundery detergent things which you fill up. I guarantee you will lose them in the washing after 3 washes. They always end up in duvets or lost in a coat or sumink.

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs)
My manager calling to me from his office across the corridor, it's rude and also inconsiderate to others in adjoining offices. (I ignore him)

The words "tech", "prep" and "uni".

Massive smart phones. No; more accurately, all smart phones.
