    Random posting by new members to, presumably, get the post count up to access the classifieds is still annoying me.

    I don't think they have to get the post count up to access the classified bits any more, seen loads of new posters advertising.
    Really not sure what some of them are doing then, signing up and posting random comments on dormant threads.
    Indeed, does seem odd. There's one guy that must be a bike shop, only has a handful of posts all advertising high end bikes.
    They could at least contribute something useful.
    Everyone knew Cycle Clinic ran a shop, but he was a wealth of information and was happy to contribute. Shame he's gone quiet. Don't think he ever used the classified sections either.
    That was kind of the problem with him.

    Dress codes. No objection to an indication of how most people might dress, but I really struggle with the people who get upset at what someone else is wearing when it is completely irrelevant to them e.g. another diner on a cruise ship.

    You get what you deserve if you are on a cruise ship

    Golf and tennis are similar.

    Polo is quite bad also, I hear. And Henley RR is such a bore.

    Many golf clubs in the "rag ar*e" north have abandoned dress codes. I do not know about southerners.

    That you can no longer delete a post that you start to type on this forum and realise you're in the wrong thread / have a change of mind e.g. I started typing this one in the Trivially Intriguing thread nad it is now there until I type over it and actually post in that thread. Also, some of these posts are now sitting in my draft box and I can't work out how to delete them.

    Sounds like they are moving into the 20th Century. I wonder how many tennis clubs insist on all white now.

    The pull tabs to open packets of biscuits. They never seem to work and I usually end up using a knife to open the pack. It now takes so much effort I have to eat an extra biscuit to compensate.

    I'm more annoyed that they've been moving them further and further away from the end, so you have to eat several in the first go.

    Actually, that might be something that cheers me up too, but the cheek of it annoys me

    I’m glad it’s not just me. I use two phones which is making it worse. I’m trying to delete them on both.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Thanks, but FFS. Done, but now I'm now annoyed I've bumped a thread from 2020.

    The problem is TBB, this will catch on and you will see a lot of it until such time the administrators fix the glitch.

    The private school parents that fill the bus-stops on my route to work whilst waiting for their school minibuses. They obviously can't let their precious children wait outside the Range Rover/Merc/BMW SUV in the provided bus shelter. It wouldn't be so bad but the manner of their parking means they spill out onto the road

    Not sure where to put this... I won't be sending many Christmas cards this year.

    Well, I never do, but it might be even fewer now.

    Letter volumes are down, how do we entice people to send more? I have a cunning plan...
