I think you'll find that's illegal. It's ok on a Saturday which is classed as a working day up to a point. Check with the council (good luck!).Quote:

Any packaging that says "Pull or tear here" to open and when you do the tab just rips off or the plastic does not remove. This must be really awkward for elderly people/arthritic hands etc
People eating on TV. Especially when they go "mmmmmm that's great!" while eating.
I didn't pay my licence fee to watch folk filling their faces and talking while they do it.
Good one. That and when they smack their lips when eating. Minging.Quote:

Eating related, pictures of food on social media made worse by a "nom nom" caption. Why?Quote:

The different pronounciations of Dalziel & Menzies
If you pronounce Menzies as Mingis you're doing it wrong. Quite obviously.Quote:

In most cases, pronunciation eventually followed, but a few words retained their original pronunciation, such as Menzies and Dalziel and Culzean. MacKenzie used to be pronounced Mackenyey (or something like that).Quote:

I've lived in Edinburgh almost my whole life and had never heard of this nonsense until the effects of what is essentially vandalism became apparent.
Probably already been touched upon in this thread, but nuisance calls seem to be as plentiful as ever, despite laws being introduced. For example, I read that companies, who cold call, now have to reveal their phone number. Some get round this by somehow transferring their number to a local number that tricks you into thinking it's an important call. Some companies appear as International on the display, but it turns out to be a wee lassie from Liverpool.
