And with any mains tap, as long as it turns when needed, then it's a good 'un.

I had to make do with the last croissant.

He wasn't the only one - it was a bit of an academic snobbery thing for a while.
During the week i had a guy at the Tesco pump in one of them two seater Smart car things drive to the second pump from the entrance. As i was turning up he was reversing back to the first pump as it was out of petrol, Diesel only. He stopped between the pumps and got out to fill up. OK fuck you mate. I drove round him and left my van at an angle across the front of his car and started to full up a large almost empty tank. The fucker had the cheek to give me the dirty looks when he walked past to pay. Unfortunately no one came up behind to prevent him from reversing back to pass me but FFS. Another six foot back he would have still been close the the filler cap and i could have parked flush to the pump.Noggin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2024 1:43 pm Queueing at a fuel station! I mean, not the queueing per se, although it was bastard hot, but how people behave!!
When I go, if I have to use cash, I'll stop away from the pump is there is a queue, pay the cash, get the little ticket thing (from a sort of cash machine thingy) and then join the queue
Today there were queues at each side of all the pumps (and I'm in inappropriate kit on a hot Honda and it's nearly midday )
So I did that, went and got my top up ticket and sat in the queue. Luckily not in my queue, but a woman had waited for three other cars to fill up before she got to the pumps, THEN she got out and went to get the cash ticket thingy FFS, that's just rude!! If she'd been in front of my queue I think that by then I'd have squelched over and told her very politely that she's a dick and should consider getting the ticket first!! THEN when she'd got the ticket she then got back in the car to find some plastic gloves to put on before she did the fuelling
It's almost as bad as people who get back in the car and then sit whilst they note the mileage etc, reposition the seat and anything else they can think of before moving off! Have seen bikers fanny arse around getting sorted too. Just pull away to the area ahead where there's loads of space and no queue behind you so then do all the faffing!! I put the fuel in and refitted the tank bag, pulled off, then stopped in the space and sorted gloves etc etc!!
Some people are just rude!!

I'm not the only one who it hadn't occured to that price matching could be up as well as down. The cheeky fs.
All supermarkets are on the swizz!! I did a Lidl shop the other day (don't often as the local is tiny and the nearest big one is an hour away!!) - a range of similar products (bacon lardons in particular) and there was one pack 'on offer'. Does no one read the price/kg ?? The offer ones were approx 50% more expensive than the cheapest ones Thieving gits!!McNab wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2024 12:49 pm Sainsbury's 'Aldi Price Match' - I'm sure they are increasing the prices of things that are cheaper. This week, 6 round tomatoes for a price matched 95p, last time I bought them they were 79p I think.
I've noticed it on other things too, tinned soup springs to mind, up to 75p and back down to 62p when the price match ends.
