The 'plastics are bad' debate.
Courtesy of the BBC mid morning radio prog I now know that there are local action groups taking on the challenge to reduce/remove the use of plastics...having see the Attenborough documentaries and various news items, they are anxious that we've let this pernicious and deadly foreign agent into our midst.
If all goes well and they get enough support they can get their town/borough dedicated as 'plastic free' or somesuch, another virtue to be signalled on the nameplate (just below 'a fairtrade town' or 'we hang foreigners') as you cross the border.
Those naughty, naughty plastics! Begone foul hydrocarbons!
Coming to a stall in the precinct near you, very shortly.
Quite agree.

Gone are the days where you could go up to a counter and ask for Fork Handles - you need to be able to take a blister pack containing your four candles to the till to have it scanned with the barcode printed on the back of the pack.
My first two go-to places for fork handles or indeed four candles would be old fashioned hardware stores which have no barcodes. But then it does take rather longer as the chat tends to diverge into all sorts of interesting but irrelevant topics such as whether we'll be haymaking this week, or what Mrs Biggins has been up to.

Hugging and kissing with your baby

Speaking of coffee shops, why can't I order a black coffee without being asked if I want milk with it !
And why can't I ask for a black coffee without being asked if I want an Americano?I prefer Americanos to filter coffee, as I find that unless it's a fresh jug of filter coffee then it's been sat brewing for a while and is disgustingly bitter for me.
When following a recipe, why do they give me measurements in cups!? Quarter cup of this, 2 cups of that blah blah blah. What fkwittery is this? How is a cup a form of measurement? Grams, millilitres, ounces are standard measurements. Not a fking cup! I have cups of many sizes. May as well tell me how many key bumps of flour I need for all it matters.

People who post stuff on these forums exactly the same as somebody else has posted about half a page above. Do they make no attempt whatsoever to read what has been going on before posting?
If the thread is a couple of hundred pages long, as many are, at least apologise if it has been mentioned before, but there is too much check.
I suppose nobody has posted this before ...
