What is the obsession with baking cakes for charity? It seems to happen every week in my work.
I refuse to eat any of this sh*te as I have no idea what the hygiene standards of these peoples kitchens are - particularly as a high percentage of them seem to have one or more cats.
Food snobs or foodies
Dearie me! Is that actually a thing in the real world now?Quote:

Brits abroad.
Generalisation of course, this thread is full of them after all, but I've been abroad the last 2 weeks in various places and everytime I have seen someone falling over drunk, shouting, acting aggressively, being disrespectful to the country they are in etc etc they have been characterised by a Scottish, English or Welsh accent.
the word "foodie" or someone who describes themselves as a "foodie"
Agreed. Folk who do that are really 'fuddie'.Quote:

Brave flies.
I have a fly in the house that is taunting me.
It keeps landing on me after I have tried to swat it.
Seriously doing my head in .
Buy a can of Raid. Shoots them down nae problem.Quote:

Agreed. There should be a "skip" button for such adverts.Quote:

Pre chopped veg in supermarkets.
Do people really need to buy pre chopped onions, carrots and mushrooms. It's more expensive, creates far more waste and saves about 3 minutes.
I thought the same thing.....then a few years ago started having intermittent problems with the joints in my hands and wrists. I confess that I have occasionally bought these (overpriced and wasteful) products that I previously sneered at. Checked nobody was looking when I put them in my trolley though :greengrin.Quote:

To be fair they're a big help when you're trying to fit cooking a healthy meal into an already busy day. Sometimes you need all the help you can get!Quote:

Big man eh? They're usually fat.
The price of beer in the UK or more specifically Edinburgh and London.
Was in Berlin and, admittedly in a non touristy area, a 500ml bottle in a pub was €2.50 give or take. Likewise in Barcelona I was paying €3.50 for a draught Estrella or Moritz. Despite Barcelona having a reputation as expensive.
Folk who press the green man button repeatedly, it doesn't make it come on any faster!
Same with lift buttons
Personalised plates in general. Very few of them are obvious what they're supposed to say. If you need to explain its meaning, it's a waste of money.Quote:
