People who say "innit" at the end of (just about) every sentence. I interviewed a bloke the other day who did it continually throughout the interview. After a while, I got fed up with it, and decided to interpret the "innit" as "isn't it?"
Him: "Well, I would do a registry clean and everything, innit." Me: (deliberately pausing and looking a bit confused) "Er... sorry... isn't what?" The guy refused to take the hint, and did the same thing several more times. Don't call us.... |

Don't call us.... ![]() I once interviewed a guy (for a technical/customer facing role) who called me ‘Chief’ (as in mate, pal, etc) throughout the interview process. ![]() He didn’t get the job; … however ‘Chief’ did become an amusing office catch-phrase that was used, on occasion, for many years. |

![]() ![]() …is it ‘faffage’ like ‘cabbage’,…..or is it ‘faffage’ like ‘Farage’ (Nigel) ?

Its sounded as 'idge'
![]() …I reckon it’s probably ‘location’ dependent.In Lidl/Aldi it’s definitely ‘faffage’ like ‘cabbage’; …however, in Sainsburys/Waitrose it’s quite likely to be ‘faffage’ like ‘Farage’ (Nigel). |

True, but at the same time, the same Mrs May moaned in 2007 when Brown took over from Blair and said there should be an election. So both sides are basically being hypocritical...

What annoys me today are people who don't leave feedback on Ebay, or respond to emails, so you have no idea if they recieved an item or not

Has anyone, ever, read one of these leaflets which are produced pointlessly in their millions every day? Maybe whoever regulates should accept that people do actually know what painkillers are.

Yes, definitely location dependent so say it as you like - no rules. I actually quite like the ‘Farage’ mehod and will try it next time I am in Berkhamstead Waitrose where all the nobs meet and greet (and don't get a move on).
![]() ….shout this at the loitering toffs, “get a move on,… and less of your faffage,…you stuck-up bastards”; …that’ll shift ‘em. Best to use ‘faffage’ (like ‘cabbage’) so they’ll assume you’re from the lower classes,.. and therefore quite likely to resort to physical violence. |

"Graduations" from pre-school - 4 year-olds, complete with hats/gowns & paper scrolls. I noticed it for the first time last year, when pics started appearing on FB. First crop of this year's just appeared today. Where's a : puke: smiley when you need one

Ice cream vans that start their chimes just next to you as they drive past. If you think being blasted with distorted noise is going to make me buy a watery and overpriced 'ice' you can think again!
