Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?

Me too - if it's visibly clean I'll sit on it, make sure it's clean when I've finished (not that I tend to make a mess...) and then wash & dry my hands properly when I'm done. No problems.

Re: Pet Peeves?

There are a couple of junctions between motorways where motorway conditions still exist all the way through an apparent roundabout (road signs all in white text in blue being the major clue). One is...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Already in use for Hellman's mayonnaise squeezy bottles in the UK. It works well at bringing it all down to the bottom, but the poor design of the bottle shape that means you still have to take off...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?
