Whitbread = Costa, Beefeater, Brewers Fayre = Council
I had the misfortune to be stuck in an eating place (can't use the word restaurant) attached to a Premier Inn a few weeks ago and the clientele were awful (tats on arms the size of legs and dole poles parked against the chairs) and the food inedible. Shan't go there again even on someone else's card.Nickbrapp said:

I ate in a similar establishment while staying away for work and being to tired to venture beyond the hotel complex. I chose the same night they had a Wowcher offer on. It was horrendous. The only highlight was when someone dropped his party off at the door and somehow managed to drop his car keys behind the back seat while helping them out. They tried for hours to find them, to no avail. They bought a tow truck in, but it couldn't fit under the canopy. It was still there the next morning. nonsequitur said:

The biggest council part in the article is dumping your car outside some bodies house for two weeks while on holiday. I know you don't own the road outside your house and they are entitle to park their, but it is a tttish thing to do.
Yup, agree completely. The comments section on this story when it popped up on "Angry People in Local Newspapers" were full of people all sticking with the "You don't own the road, get over it!" type comments, everyone was arguing over that.
I was at least a little relieved to see not everyone is a complete tt with my comment of "I'd be p*ssed off too, if people were leaving their cars for weeks at a time on the road outside my house, which is a residential street. No I'm not going to vandalise anyone's car for doing so. It isn't illegal, it is just inconsiderate" - which got enough "likes" for me to have faith that people do understand the issue.

Calling your daughter Khaleesi or Daenerys, or a star wars character and so on.

There's a khaleesee in my daughter's nursery group. Imagine how council you have to be to not only name your child after a TV character, but then spell it incorrectly as well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-41160596
McDonalds on the A50 near Uttoxeter (yes I know it's hypocritical as I was in there) but the clientele in there yesterday afternoon was a cut above, or below I should say.
The biscuit taker was some 'woman' at the head of the very long queue, had a very loud opinion on everything and anything, and was determined to start a fight with the averagely attractive woman in the queue next to her for presumably being more attractive than she.
I dislike mixing with the public at the best of times but this place made my skin crawl.

Sometimes just because something is not illegal does not make it right to take advantage of that fact.

ps, I'm sure we all would like to know the outcome of the above incident.
I'm guessing that the owners will come back, take the cling film off and be happy that they don't have to wash the car.The cynic in me reckons that this is a non-story. The car will be owned by a mate of his, and this will be a set up from him trying to highlight the problem that they have with airport customers leaving their cars abandoned. Why else would you willingly go to the newspaper to tell them you have done this, which will surely open you up to the wrath of the car owners on their return who now know your face and where you live?

Costa.
Hungry son this morning, he likes porridge so we pop into Costa on way. Go to the counter and ask for porridge, the bloke gets a pot noodle type plastic pot with a peelable lid, and pours hot water into it.
This seems a bit different from Pret and the like, but we go with it...
Have a taste and think this is very sweet, read on the side 17g of sugar for that small tub. Full ingredients: porridge flakes, dehydrated milk, sugar....
Costa, WTF is wrong with you? Won't be back.
You can't high-horse about Costa and then admit you go to Pret(entious). Pret has far, FAR more ish food than Costa.Hungry son this morning, he likes porridge so we pop into Costa on way.

If I had my way I'd wait til Saturday lunchtime, then padlock the doors shut (on either/both establishments) and set the buildings on fire. 2 birds and all that.
Oh yes. The last time I had a christening to attend I honestly couldnt believe my eyes.
Chav teen girls in little mini dresses.
Grown men in track suits and just generally people that looked as if they had just rolled out of bed.
The worst/funniest was at a funeral last year. There was a large chap in his 50's wearing tracksuit bottoms + trainers with a polo shirt and tie.
Does nobody care anymore?
