things that annoy us

I haven't checked the truth in it but it's said National Car Parks really gained their hold by using bomb sites from WWII.

That made me think... the price of some parking areas where I am is pretty pricey. $10 to park a car!? How annoying... everyone just ups the price of everything. I'm glad I hardly go anywhere, and I usually can find parking spots in front of the location I am going to, and the parking meters are cheaper still.. but rising over time.

It has been as long as I can remember that we have to pay $3/hour to park in a parking garage at most places we go to. My son told me a parking spot cost about $50K in the complex where his fiancee used to live in DC.

Steep Hill is called that for a reason.

What annoys me, is my radio cutting out when I get physically close to the radio. Especially when my favourite song is playing.

I also find it annoying when people never clean beneath their beds: they let their clutter and mess sit underneath their bed to grow mould and stink out their bedroom. It drives me up the wall.

Another thing that annoys me are people who only wear T-Shirt and jeans. The look is ugly and lazy. AND people who wear thick sweaters in summertime.

It is a lovely little spot. Very quaint. It's just a little odd when you step off the hill into the shops as you are suddenly on the flat. 

I am rather anti royal, but even I can see that was the right thing to do.

Not me my daughter...

How long does it take to be accepted.?

She was born in the uk but came here age 1 year... She is fluent in English but thats all shes never lived there or been part of the culture ..Shes now almost 34...

The Queen died... Suddenly people are texting her.. " oh sorry your Queen died" etc she's been asked about protocol, state funerals etc she has no idea...

Its upset her ghat under the surface of acceptance people stillclass her as an outsider

My parents were immigrants to Britain. Yet the only language I speak is English. I don't like telling people this, but they can - sometimes - guess.

Still, I don't consider myself to be foreign: I am British like everyone else here. I don't advertize, though, that I am the daughter of foreigners and never insult the royal family or truly English people.

My mother was fluent in Swedish, but she never taught me the language: my brother wasn't taught, either. My sister learnt the language from our grandmother and going to Sweden every year from childhood.

My father is Irish and has taught me some Irish slang and the Irish ways.

I definitely consider myself Irish, rather than Swedish. I also feel Ireland is my spiritual home, from trips over there many times.

Im normally in jeans and cotten tops or shirts.
I mostly wear hiking boots, trainers or wellingtons . .

Why? Because I live in a place that isnt suited to heels and have a life with two very active dogs.. Try hiking for miles through the woods in pretty dresses and sandals... While being dragged about by a beagle in full hunting mode..

Dress to your budget, your style and your lifestyle...

I know people who can't take a hint. It definitely causes a great deal of stress on both people.

I have zero problem taking a hint.
