Sainsbury's flawed product substitution policy for deliveries... when I order 450g of gravy for 4 people, I do so because that's the amount of gravy I want.... cue the numpties at Sainsbury's substituting it for 300g of gravy for 3 people. If I wanted gravy for 3 people I'd f***ing order gravy for 3 people, you f***ing imbeciles. Happens all the f***ing time with all sorts of f***ing produce. Twats.

We once got an orange as a substitute for an orange pepper.

Add a glass of wine then you have your original recipe and gravy for four.

Any good? Mrs E keeps banging on about it, but I'm gonna need some persuasion to go into town for cake and sarnies.

Yes, but was over 40 years ago so it might have gone downhill in the interim.

At the time all the male staff wore tail coats, and there were no tills to be seen; they took your purchase and money into a backroom and returned with the change, receipt, and goods wrapped.

Much posher than Harrods.

Why does my local Tesco Express stock garlic and coriander naan bread and peshwari naan (2 different varieties of each), but not plain naan?

People who abandon their supermarket trolleys in the middle of the car park. Lazy sods.

In a queue for food, you're moving along with the queue, you get close to a display case with something in you want, so you step out of the queue to pick it up and the person behind steps into your space and the whole queue moves up. That's annoying enough, but occasionally you are made to feel as though you are pushing in.

On most sites it is only for age verification or advertising, so lie.

People sharing the same cultural views, aged related, has been a concept since the 19th century. The guy behind the first named generation died around 100 years ago.  So your answer is ~100 years ago.

Newspapers swapping out ‘Great’ with ‘Kate’. Doesn’t work and looks like an error. ‘‘Kate to have you back’  FFS

Ah, pub grub 2024 style . An expensive work of art that leaves you still hungry and not too sure what it was anyway, bastards.

Overuse of the word 'star' when describing a bit part actor. If he/she appeared in 2 scenes of a film for a total of 5 minutes, and possibly spoke 1 sentence, then that is not a starring role.

I played the role of a star in the pre-school nativity once. Not only that, I was the ONLY star in the show.

Didn't have any words and just stood at the back of the stage for a bit. Think I also wet myself and tripped over when leaving the stage. Don't you dare downplay my achievements.

Air conditioning units at work - what is the point? They sit there all year and when you need the damn things, when you actually bloody need the damn things and need them to work and to do their job, they fail. I mean what is the bloody point? And then we raise a job and some company who was subcontracted by subcontractors of the contractors for my company come along and say nothing can be done for a few bloody Millennia until they get the parts, and then my company provides a fan that is less powerful than a gnat's fart as a replacement. I mean what is the bloody point!

Political commentators constantly referring to ‘super majority’. Meaningless bollocks in our constitution although I know they all love a new term

People who park their cars right next to a junction, half on the pavement, straddling double yellow lines, and think it's OK because they have their blue badge displayed on the dashboard.

Numbskulls that use the incorrect abbreviation for 'et cetera' (i.e. ect instead of etc). Get back to school you thick twats!

[trousers]

Thick graduates that view student finance as a traditional "debt" when in fact it's effectively a graduate tax for above average wage earners. If you're going to call the withdrawal of the 'spare bedroom rebate' a tax then at least use similar logic for student 'loans'.... Twats.

I would call it an aspiration or ambition tax.
