Re: Pet Peeves?

I think all of that family are still banned in New York, including gooseberries. We have wild gooseberries popping up everywhere in our yard, very tasty they are too. I assume it's only an offence...

Re: Pet Peeves?

God's own country, the Bronx. If we move to NYC that'd be where we'd go. Might need a set of ear plugs, having lived in rural areas for many decades.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Well, like most places, there's good & bad - most of the Bronx is perfectly civilised. Zoo, botanical gardens, several excellent colleges & universities, beautiful parks etc....

Re: Pet Peeves?

Yeah my wife dislikes roaches. We never got rid of them in the apartment, since if you kept them at bay they'd just come in from elsewhere in the building. I've never really been that bothered by...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Our first home together in the US was a low income apartment in Somerville, MA. We very soon realised that we had three different species of cockroach competing for attention there - German,...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Well, I've never heard of this anywhere in New York. Folks in NYS dry their laundry outside, grow noxious weeds galore (including luxuriant stands of Japanese knotweed) and park junked cars...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I fly Air Canada Ottawa to London frequently, and always select an aisle seat at the back, easy to get to the toilet with no trolley in the way. However, downside is, on the Ottawa to London night...

Re: Pet Peeves?

There's only one circumstance that I pay for a cup of coffee, it happens about three times a year. That's flying into Heathrow from North America.

The reason is, I normally make either a litre or...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I'm no great fan of American ground meat/sausage products. Hopefully Walmart put this one back on display, maybe it'll taste better than the others. (Not saying much either way..)

Re: Pet Peeves?

Exactly. I used to hang out with old school English Catholics, and that's how they pronounced it. Not to mention the Anglo-Catholics.

Re: Pet Peeves?

First impressions of the outside, it is so jawdroppingly ugly but you could get used to it?? Inside pictures, it looks impressive though. So long as it has plenty of books, and not all ****ing...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Hmm .. I think Tesco now have the "Everyday Value" equivalent to Plax considerably cheaper. Of course, getting Americans to use Tesco "Everyday Value" products can be problematic, I've found.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Marketing and product placement. I don't have TV, but I'll bet those brand name toothpastes like Crest are advertised on TV while Pepsodent, at 99c a tube, is not. Crest et al have big displays on...
