She basically said that if you don't jump at the chance, your daughter will hate you forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernrover Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 f**kers with the non-retractable umbrellas, who, when not in use, wield/twirl it in their hands like their heading into battle or joining the Orange Order or something. Hold it upright and let people walk in the same postcode as you ffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernrover Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) Oh, and the b*****d whose bright idea it was to put pianos in railway stations, etc. Enough noise and clutter about without them bashing through Vivaldi like they're Rick Wakeman or something.

Yes, yes, Jesus Christ, this. Imagine having to work there. Whoever came up with that idea should be forced to have a busker follow them around all day singing the same four songs over and over again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, doesn't help with the trend in recent years in banks etc to get rid of the protective screens (with microphones) and just have a face to face over a desk. Was at Manchester Piccadilly station a few weeks ago and couldn't hear a thing the lass was saying to me as there was a choir (!) in full flow about 20 yards away. Not like it's a big international city, with lots of foreign visitors trying to speak English, and the ticket office bods need to explain the ins and outs of train tickets to them (not me btw!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a nation we can largely get decent quality of water from the tap, why people decide to pay money for the stuff baffles and annoys me in equal measure. Have had this discussion with people a few times. One lassie at work claimed she could taste the difference. I took two bottles of water in and kidded on I'd filled one with tap water. She was adamant one was tap water and in fairness, took the slagging well when I informed her that I'd never replaced either with tap water. I've replaced my wife's bottled water with tap water a couple of times though and she never noticed the difference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperature is the important taste factor with water, the colder the better it tastes, so just refill your bottles from the tap and put them in the fridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 There's some context here that we are lucky our tap water is good but there is definitely a taste difference . The best case for a bottled water is that it tastes the same as tap water. In many cases though, it tastes different, and in 100% of cases, much worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 When you boil tap water you can often taste the chlorine and chemicals in it. We filter ours now and you really can tell the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
