Yes it was the attitude and looking at me like I was a piece of dirt and the sarcastic "anything else MADAM" shouted at me. I'm normally like "whatever" but she just pushed too many buttons.

Finally summoning up the courage to stop lurking and sign up to DS, only to discover I now have eff all to say for myself.

Chuggers - Charity Muggers - at the end of every checkout in the supermarket, in todays' case Asda. I don't carry cash (I only use my debit card). They make you feel guilty when you don't throw any money in their bucket.
If a supermarket has twenty checkouts, just have the Chuggers on ten of them so we can have a guilt-free shopping trip !

Welcome Tanzie. Don't worry you'll soon get into the swing of it, just join in

Hey Plucky. Not everyone is brimfull with confidence. Cut them some slack.. I've seen posters give up after a couple of posts because of that attitude.

Welcome Tanzie I only came back to Ds myself recently so just do what I do and get stuck in

"Did you want a medal? Or a balloon."

Are Crackerjack Pens and Pencils now ancient history?

If it's a phone in show, then they've listened to the shows format, know how the presenters interact with people so your 90% there already.

I've never had a go at someone for saying that, it just annoys me so I ignore it, if it's something I can contribute to I reply to the subject matter, if not I don't.



Always the cheque book and pen

The way that people are rushing out and buying those 'NutriBullet' blender things. Don't they realise that blenders have been around for about 30 years? So many sheep about...

I've had one for a while not and it's not the same as any blender I've had, it's much smoother and much easier to clean too.

Plebs on here that moan about so called HOT WEATHER, surely they have their wish MOST of the year

No not really

Depends what you class as hot/cold though

Something Above The Artic Conditions That You Prefer

In that case then no, I don't have my wish for most of the year

So what? There's all sorts of blenders that live under sinks and in kitchen cabinets, the NutriBullet works as it's powerful, doesn't leave pulp residue and is easy to clean, word of mouth sells it, I'd recommend it.

Don't worry, lots of people on here have eff all to say but it doesn't stop them saying it

Welcome aboard and don't be shy.

Unbelievable. Actually, no it's not. If I get that type of attitude from a salesperson I challenge it there and then. I'm always quiet and polite when shopping, but if I get that attitude (or off-handedness or worse still they are fiddling with their mobile while serving me) I tell them straight. Going through customer services is too little, too late IMO.

They use the same odd sound in 'go home' as well. It becomes 'goy hoyme'. Very prevalent in the southeast.

The Australian way?? I've tried again and again to pronounce it as you've spelt it, and the closest I can come is to make it sound like a Northern Ireland accent.


Now I'm truly mystified, I can only assume that you're on the wind-up.
I was born on the east side of London, and have lived virtually all my life in and around SE London, Brockley, New Cross, Bermondsey, before hitting the jackpot and fetching up in Rotherhithe.
I'm 100% sure that I've never, ever heard something like goy hoyme, I'm having difficulty even saying it, the only "goy" I'm aware of is as a description of a non Jewish person.

Call centres which only open 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. What if I've got a problem that needs addressing at the weekend. This is 2015, not 1915.

My local council and all their red tape, when dealing with them.

Security jobsworths at pubs, just generally being a pain to regular well behaved customers.

No wind-up, honestly. I dont know about London, but a few years ago I spent some time in Kent and Essex and it was very noticeable there. It's also prominent on many TV shows on which south-easteners feature. Of course they would say they don't know what I'm talking about as they think it's normal.

Changing the subect, I'd just like to have a small rant about shoelaces made of shiny, slippy-slidy material that JUST WON'T STAY TIGHT! I tie the bow just as I have always done, but after a few hundred yards I'm feeling the shoes working loose.

people who double dip ......or taste the food and put the spoon back in.

Not great on tv, but in a social situation ,it awful , I have to say something and then it very very awkward

When the same job is advertised by multiple agencies/websites on the Universal Jobmatch website, and those adverts are all listed one after the other. Half the page is then advertising the one nursing vacancy.

I’ve met a few of those.
