She isn’t letting it lie! She is in a right lather!

Our Roger isn;t giving them any credit this month!

There are times I wonder whether some of the people we allow abroad would be better off being locked in a zoo to keep they out of the way of us normal folk who genuinely appreciate the kind hospitality these foreign countries show us.  It makes you long for the days when we shipped off everyone to a far flung island if they were criminal or a nuisance.  Saying that look what happened there, the folk of OZ are far more civilized than most of this lowlife!

What has got me so mad?  Well it’s simple, manners!  I regularly travel out to my holiday home in Spain, each time the journey gets worse and worse.  What should be a leisurely enjoyable flight is marred from the first minute.  These morons refuse to queue with the rest of us, they think everything is a free for all.  When I kindly asked the man and his wife and 3 kids to join the queue like the rest of us had, he replied he had kids, he deserved priority and anyway was I intending to make him?

I of course chose not to rise to his baiting and just ignored him, his snotty kids were kicking at my luggage, but I refused to bite.

Then once in the departure lounge, the kids are left to run riot, the mum and dad straight off to the boozer.  Surely there should be some rule about controlling your children in a dangerous place like an airport.

Finally when we go to board suddenly a whole load of my fellow country men suddenly pull out crutches, plaster casts, start limping, pushing 18 year old Bradley to the front presented as a child, all the in the attempt to jump the queue and get the best choice of seats on board the plane.

I asked the stewardess whether this 18 year old at the front really counted as a ‘child’ she replied ‘to be honest sir, we really do not want to deal with the inevitable protest and foul mouth abuse refusals to such people brings’.

Does this sentence not say it all. Even the airlines are frightened of the animals they are carrying, yet we are letting them out of the country to represent us!

I suggest any identified ‘trouble’ families have their passports removed for a set period of time for each ‘offence’ and each time they repeat offend, the term is doubled.

Only this way can see them being educated in manners or at least understanding we wont let it happen.

Thankfully when I got to my Spanish Home Juan Carlos in our local café had a nice full English breakfast and a pint of john smiths to calm me down, I told him I had had enough of these people and was going to make it my cause to rid his fellow country men of this visiting plague.

What is it with building work in town centres.
They just seem to plough into the work little thought about the rubbish
they are putting into the air. 3 times this week I have walked down the
highstreet and had rubble fly into my eye. They should be made to put up
screens to stop the wind spreading their building muck and blinding us all.

Bottled Water.
Can anyone really taste the difference between one bottle of mineral and
another. I admit what comes out of the tap is a different proposition all
together, however one cheap bottle of own brand versus a 2 quid bottle of
swiss mineral water is surely the same!  I look in amazement at those
turning up their noses in Tesco at t he own brand stuff for 60p and loading
their trolleys with 2 quid stuff!

Fine to Fly!

Everyday I pass the leaflet distributors in my high street.  Student Zombies handing out cheap phone card offers and advertising some cheap sale shop flyers that no one wants.  They end up all over the pavements creating more work for the poor street cleaners to sweep up.  Surely this is against the law. They should be arrested and offered the option of a weeks cleaning the high street including the carnage after a Friday and Saturday night or a £3000 fine paid directly to a clean up your neighbourhood campaign!
