    Baked beans on fry ups served in ramekins.

    WTF? Name and shame.

    On a similar note, tinned tomatoes on a fry up, not fresh.

    Its come with the advent of the 'smarter cafe' (as opposed to a true greasy spoon) serving breakfasts. I've even been served a breakfst with beans on a ramekin and the whole bloody plate of food garnished with parsley!

    I blame the coalition.

    Perfect for this lot.

    Full English? Foul, greasy, horrible.

    Ooh, that looks delicious! Where do I get one of those??
  • People that over-explain scenarios, like, "I was in Toronto, by the green shop, the one that sells them red tomatos for 50p, and then walked up 3 different roads from there and then I was thinking it's a long walk but whatever kept on walking and by the time I got home I was so tired." I prefer it was a long walk home and it was tiring

    When someone calls your phone and asks for a person you've never heard of, you tell them they have the wrong number and their response is 'well this is the number they gave me' as if you are somehow lying or don't know who you are.

    I ask them what number they think they called, and go from there. If they actually have called my number, I don't want them calling me back.

    Bass intro to I Am The Resurrection by the Stone Roses. Amazing song, but I can't help feeling the 2nd note of the riff is flat.

    Computer nerds that run computer repair shops. They (might) do the job but as for communication and customer service; hopeless. Time is also completely immaterial to them.

    Assume a Brummy accent. Go to car shows and take pictures of them. Stuff your wallet with newspaper cuttings the size of £50 notes and register 10 different Ltd companies. That'll do ya.

    People boasting about their swanky holidays.

    The hot ones, not so much the ski ones. I'm just as happy to be cold here without the broken leg.

    Would it help if I said I wasn't that fussed on going?

    Too much sun doesn't agree with me - burn easily. :(
    Not too keen on beaches - don't like the feel of the sand, it always feels dirty to me. :(
    Love rum though. :D

    When tea bags are decanted from the box in which they were supplied, to another more convenient jar, but not separated into individual bags when transferred. I should be able to take a single bag out of the jar without having to tear two apart.
