Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

Alcohol free gin = cordial, surely.

Nothing against cordial, but call it what it is

Dunno about "Insignificant" as I rate it fairly high but might not bother some people as much...

People coming out of a pub with bottles, glassware and drinking up then placing the glass item down.
Leave it a bit and someone/the wind is bound to knock it over and it'll end up smashed and possibly in kids/my dogs feet.
Just think eh?

Oh and people just throwing chicken bones down on the pavement, dogs right in on them and I'm worried about them stabbing his internals.

Suppose all that xomes under the heading of littering which I'm no fan of either but those get to me more than others.

If you don't take your glasses back to the bar, or your plates back to the serving window in a greasy spoon cafe then you're a lout.

It's a good way to get excellent service the next time you're in.

It's acid test of whether someone understands society. Do they take the trolly back in the supermarket?

- It doesn't directly benefit you, only other people
- It costs you time and effort
- There's no penalty if you don't do it

But...you benefit from everyone else doing it.

I have to take 'em to the trolley park to get my token back.

This only extends the thinking though right...

You have to be paid to be a good citizen. Or at least, attach some (tiny ) financial penalty to not being one.

Complete bollox. Fark me. Lout???

Staff are paid to clear tables. And you shouldn't grovel to get good service.

Help if you want, but don't judge others.

I do know someone who thought £1 was a very attractive price for their mobile raku firing basket.

Totally insignificant cos, mostly, it's not even my bike!! BUT, my mate changed the screen on his CBF1000.

I did ask him if he still had the original but he doesn't think so but, in his words "the air hits right in the face with the standard, the after market is better because it goes over your head"

Well, it might if I was the same height as him. But I'm about 6 inches taller than he is. With the after market 'flip up' screen the wind plays a drumbeat on my helmet

The Shoei is quieter than the Arai which I guess is better. Downside is that, whilst it's a better fit (and quieter) I prefer the Arai!! Prefer the colour and the visor Mostly cos I couldn't buy a black visor for the Shoei, but at least I have a dark/smoked visor for that


Anyway, I'm seriously considering getting an aftermarket original screen for it - cos I'll have it for 3-4 months, so it's probably worth it! Maybe!!

Dont know where my post went as i answered this.

I always take the glass back when in a pub. Only time i dont is when someone is still drinking when i get up for a round. Table was clear when i went in so it gets left in the same way.

Eating depends on where i go. Nice restaurant i tend not to at the waiter/waitress tends to be back and forth taking things between course's. Even the coffee cups tend to get taken away after you pay the bill. Greasy Spoon i will take the crockery back to the hatch/service area. Even when i could eat a McDonalds. KFC the table gets cleared like it was when i sat down

I think there is a big divide between leaving stuff on the table and strewing glasses and bottles around the countryside. Near most pubs you will see glasses left arpund beyond it's precincts.
Yesterday on the front I found three bottles of Corona ( one more than half full) left on the promenade path, as well as cans and fast food detritus.....ok , it was the first really warm evening for ages...but take your shit home, or at least to the bin less than five yards away.

Was in a street bar yesterday, and they had a delivery of huuuuuuge kitchen rolls, which looked like they had to go up a spiral staircase. Only a couple of 'girls' were running the place, so I offered to take them up for them.
Courtesy costs nothing but is worth so much!

Yup. If a place does table service/waiters they'll usually do table clearing. If I have to carry the food or drink to the table I'll take the empties back.

(We regularly have a bite to eat, after a hike, in a sports ground café where you get an order number, they call your number and you pick up your scran at the hatch. I routinely take the plates and mugs back to the hatch. The luvverly lady in the kitchen started bringing our food to the table. ).

Anyways, insurance companies!
Wtaf is going on?
Got my renewal from Devitt yesterday, 30% increase in premium.
No claims, clean license, rural address, low annual mileage.
C'mon, it's gone over £100 pa

If there's an area for plates etc to go then I'll probably clear my table. Not always, sometimes you can see it causes confusion. Amusing anecdote from the ferry: I cleared my table despite having the food bought to me. One of the catering crew thanked me and said I didn't need to do it. To my comment that I had not much else to do, their response was neither do I.

I didn't care if someone is paid to do it or not, a bit of politeness is never wasted.

It does cause confusion here cos if I’m in a bar, I’ll always take the glasses back to the bar in between rounds and when we leave. Part of that is that I think it’s just polite but also I’ve always worked in bars and run pubs, so it just feels right!

But it’s just not the norm here! Appreciated but not always understood

If we all take our glasses back and clear our tables, they'll stop employing people to do it !

BMP This week.


I've just arrived at my new campsite for the summer. The campsite is great, the live mobile is great, the weather is fantastic. The Wifi doesn't reach the live area and the data phone signal is really poor too !

I currently have my phone outside, while I sit inside with the laptop tethered. Its OK for this and emails, but Youtube last night had to be paused every 5 mins to download a bit more!

I've ordered a signal booster from Amazon, so lets see how that works out !
