On the subject of car lights - DLRs annoy me beyond reason when the rear lights don't come on. I've lost count of the number of cars with blinding LEDs at the front and complete darkness at the back.
Lots of cars you can change/code to the 'Scandinavian mode' so the rear lights are on with the DLRs - that is what I did.
Had that done on our V40. Volvo wanted £120 for the "Logic Lighting Upgrade". Luckily the service manager owed me a favour.

England isn't a currency. Or "our" country either for a lot of folk.

perhaps he was saving 70£ by not calling it the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Another great search that's neither use nor ornament - moving on from how rubbish the Amazon search and sort is, I've just been reminder how it's almost impossible to find stuff on eBay as well. Looking for parts for my current project, I searched on "viva estate". I've now scrolled through three pages of seat belts and seven pages (so far, I've given up now) of spark plugs. Why do companies feel the need to to what seems to be separate listings for every spark plug, seat belt, windscreen wiper that they have on the shelf?

eBay/Facebook adverts - Morons who don't put the size of something in the description, so you have to go on to the advert to then find out it would fit Richard Osman or Warwick Davies.

The fact that nobody 'cleans up' after themselves on the internet.

You can Google local car shows for instance and find one reasonably nearby.
When you check the date it doesn't seem to tie up with the day of the week.
Then you realise it was 2 or 3 years ago.
Why don't they take the posting down?

The words "Gluten free" on everything.
They even had bottled water in my local supermarket saying "Non GMO" and "Gluten free" confused

They don't even put the dimensions of furniture in the descriptions sometimes. Or electrical items described as untested. Well plug it in and see if it works or just say outright if it doesn't.

Why not just say you would like a bit of peace and quiet during your break rather than moan on a car forum?

Because that will shut them up for all of 0.03 seconds.

I know the kind of tosser Gazza is talking about. They see nothing wrong with their behaviour and have no self awareness what so ever.

Gazza will be made out to be the bad guy.

Another thing that annoys me is people picking fault with me moaning about something that annoys me on a car forum, when I have posted in a very specific part of that car forum, which exists solely for people to have a moan in.

Yeah.

You are quite right.

Um. Er. Is there a forum where you could have a moan about it?

Chances are he is on a forum somewhere moaning about his boring work colleague.
