The twats I'm talking about are the ones that go to one Tesco store at a time...

Are they not going to Tesco's - I.e. the store that belongs to Tesco?

The BBC putting images like this on articles;

Commercial aircraft do not cruise at an altitude of 14 miles. That is about 6 miles higher than such planes manage, although Concord flew at around 11 miles up when supersonic.

It’s the note at the bottom that annoys me more! As if it needs to be said the objects aren’t to scale!

Apparently Yuri Gagarin was quite a big fella.

A replacement motor for my electric sander is 50% dearer than a replacement sander.

Using a country's name as an adjective: "France goalkeeper saves penalty". Correct form should be 'French goalkeeper saves penalty', or 'France's goalkeeper saves penalty'.

You need to have a word with someone about going to Tesco's 😉

People (mainly politicians) that call it "our" NHS rather than "the" NHS. 

Cretins.

Clothes and shoe sizes. 

A medium t'shirt might fit, be too big or too small. 

A size 8 shoe might be too big or too small.  I have a closet where I have shoe sizes that fit from sizes 7 to 10.  

If manufacturers are incapable of accurately standardising clothes and shoe sizes, which they are, then your clothes and shoe shops should size items by centimetre. This way you wouldn't have to bother trying it on, know it would fit and would be more confident buying off the internet.  

And no, I'm not putting on weight.  Well I am actually but that's not the point.
