I hate the voice of the bloke that does the voiceover work on the Dacia adverts and on Salvage Hunters.

He sounds like he smokes 60 fags a day, has a throat infection and a handful of sharp gravel in there, for good measure.

Hideous voice!!

Are they licking your fingers or their own?

Owners of BMW X3s with "X5" registration numbers.

BMW owners who have "BWM" registration numbers.

Might be from an old car.

I have a "V8" number plate on my car at the moment - but I wouldn't part with the plate even if I ended up getting rid of the car as it has sentimental value. I'd put it on another vehicle.

I don't mind him as an actor but on Salvage Hunters he reads the voiceover like English isn't his native language -

Is it a V8 or is your name Vate?

What will you do with it if you buy a car with a different engine layout?

He gets a lot of voice-over work on things where the subconscious message is 'cheap and cheerful', grab a bargain, good value, etc.

This New GDPR bks, in prticular the popups on seemingly every website. It needs to be a landing page so you can just click yes or no and go to main site. instead most of them wait until the page has finished loading, then waits between 3 and 5 seconds and then throws up the horsest that you already pressed no to the following visit. Infuriating.

Having an IT system so bad that we have a booking code for time spent unable to do any work because the IT is down. I booked 5 hours to it last week!

It always used to annoy me in the older series where he'd pronounce Conwy as Con-wee, as I've always pronounced it Con-Way. I've no idea which is correct but, hey, "beyond reason". I suspect (but haven't watched many of the new ones) that he's probably murdering the way Llandudno is pronounced now.

Probably been mentioned before, but tie wraps with the end not cut off. Saw loads yesterday at Silverstone and it disappointed me.

It seems like you have to do it multiple times on the same site. Sometimes when I go to a site, even if I have clicked on the acceptance button previously I will ask me again. I know I have had to click the Pistonheads one about five times.

People that walk 3 abreast, taking up the entire path, while meandering along then look at you like dirt when you say excuse me. This weekend we took the kids to a farm park, our 4 year old needed a wee and the toilets were miles away. He often doesn't leave himself much time to get to the toilet so you have to rush to avoid an accident. Rushing to the toilet through the farm park, come up behind a group of what must be 10 people, taking up the entire path and walking at a pace a snail could have challenged. I say excuse me whilst my 4 year old is asking where the toilets are, and get met with death stares from the group who slowly part only for one of them to chirp up, "Some people, no patience nowadays" as we rushed off.

I had to bite my tongue and carry on walking, partly so my lad wouldn't wee himself, partly so as not to cause a scene in front of him.
