Hedgecutter Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I used to save ~£15 by booking Aberdeen-Arbroath, Arbroath-Stirling and Stirling-Glasgow rather than a single Aberdeen-Glasgow. The biggest rip off was Aberdeen to Mount Florida, which could be ~£20 more expensive than Aberdeen to Glasgow. Eta: ABE-MF is currently £78.60 for an OPR, whilst ABE-GLA is £62.40 (OPR), so a difference of £16.20 (when the Central to Mount Florida part by itself is only £3 return) Scumbags.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I just saved the missus £20 on a fair down to Glasgow on Friday by splitting the ticket. Imagine my disappointment when I realised I bought her a return by accident. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's going that so fast she has to actually stop and let me finish walking through it. We end up leaving the shop at the same time and I take a look in her car and there's nobody in it, not even a child seat. I may have mentioned it on here before but do some people with kids think parent and child spaces are for just if you have kids in general, not kids in the car? Like it's some special fucking prize for being fertile, 'Here, have a space closer to the fucking door since you've had 5 kids with 7 different men'. I think there's something in the Highway Code exempting Audi drivers (and possibly BMW and Merc) from pretty much any petty rule such as speed limits or lane discipline. When you enter a supermarket car park these exemptions apply to all drivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 If anyone's keeping a list, it looks like I might have this Coronavirus thingy. Will confirm in the morning. Not enjoying it so far, if I'm honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if they've kept it going but before the Covid lockdown, every Audi dealership had to send someone out in an Audi demonstrator every weekday to drive around town indicating at turns, letting other cars out of junctions, stopping at pedestrian crossings and not speeding through ambers at traffic lights. It was an instruction from Audi Head Office to try and improve the image of their brand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen these bigger planes but possibly linked to the same exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Absent-minded old duffers in shops who don't have their purse or wallet out in anticipation of having to pay for their goods at the till. It's almost like it comes as a surprise that money is required to be exchanged once their items have been scanned, as you and others form a disgruntled queue behind them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
