Indeed. Not only does their shite website not take my card, but their shite phone system is wrong and the slack gits can't even get into work on time.

The irony is, this website is an English institution which is massively famous. But they're crap at business. Obviously.

Probably one of the reasons why Australia don't want or need this 'institution' over here. Wouldn't be one of the ones I hate beyond reason is it?????

Check your karma! I don't know if you have anything against them but nothing would surprise me.

Ahh, no. I have no issues with them, in fact I've spent many a long, happy, chilled and exciting afternoon with them. I only have irrational (to some) hatred to Tesco, Next, M&S, Asda, Waitrose and Sainsbury's. Oh and John Lewis but only the Welwyn one.

Well me too. You'd think they be more sorted out than they are.

Winner's dinners!

You are one of the few people who have successfully jolted my memory about a past UK thing or event...which had been totally erased or unused since I arrived in 'Oz'.

I get really annoyed by people who overuse 'Oz'. It always feaatures in BE thread titles....and posts...'When we get to Oz'...'Do they have this in Oz'...try 'Aus'...if you MUST you ARSE!!

The beer is too warm by then is it?

What they really need is pillow therapy.

Is that where you put the pillow over their heads until they stop snoring?

I do miss grandma

That's the one. works a treat on screaming babies, too.

Look you i have enough patients today thank you

People (professionals) who do one of the following:

Talk about 'baby' (using the indefinite* article)

"Put baby on his back". "Can we loosen baby's clothes and take his temperature?"

Can't they just say: "Put the baby etc".."put your child"...

Tailors who talk about 'popping'.

"Could Sir just pop off his jacket?"
"Could we just pop on the trousers?"



*Correct me if I am wrong and I probably am

Effeminate tailors who ask sir to pop out of his trousers

Ah ha! It's not them, it's my bank. Apparently.

It did not suit me, I can tell you!

Have to say, this tailor was not effeminate just old school. He was sort of the front man in the mob that my old man had gone to for years and sent me down to as soon as I had left school!
