Was it Dom Joly? I went to a large conference about twenty years ago and someone did a brilliant send up just to remind delegates to turn off their phones or put them on silent.

We go to McD’s for our coffee ( quite nice ) after our meet on a Thursday and you get the same woman in who then sits with her meal and video calls someone 😡😡

Having to do a 26-mile round trip to collect my daughter as she refused to board the school bus after a day trip.

Yup. They did a "new" calculation based on 2022. Again. Even though they have my self-employed details and my most recent calcs from my accountant. They're going to look into it again. Should have a response by July....

Teenagers riding e-bikes at about 30 mph and not pedalling at all. Obviously after dark without lights and dressed in 100% black.

It's become a problem near us too :-(

The latest incident involved them showing off on and damaging a cricket square that the council and local youth cricket club had spent a lot of effort on perfecting ready for the new season.

I know 'twas ever thus with some youths and anti-social behaviour but it's very gear-grinding nonetheless.
