Stupid little things that bug you

Traffic lights that turn red as you approach. You wait about a minute or so with no vehicle in sight. Yours turn back to green and of you go.
Why stop me when I'm the only vehicle on the road ?
I'm sure some junctions used to use pressure pads to avoid this, then just switch to timed during busy periods - perfect for rush-hour turnings that are otherwise quiet.

Unless that's just some crap my brother 'taught' me :-)

There used to be two pressure pad strips at some traffic lights to tell the system a vehicle was waiting, presumably on roads with little traffic exiting them. As a kid it was fun to try and jump on them to see if you could get the lights to change.

Simpler days …

If my current sidebar is anything to go by, 'The World' must be permanently STUNNED by some mundane occurrence or other.
 
Players who have double-barrel Surnames/three initials (Rayan Ait-Nouri, for example) being called by their initials (RAN)… Wright-Phillips was SWP, Santa Cruz was RSC, De Bruyne was KDB.

Yet that never happens for anyone with just one Surname (Foden is never referred to as PF or Stones as JS) or anyone with more names (David Josué Jiménez Silva wasn’t referred to as DJJS and Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo wasn’t referred to as SLAdC). So why the three-initial players?

People who call the main City shareholder, Mansour bin Zayed, ‘HRH’.

Fixed that for you
 
In 1970 a quid was worth £19.77.

Fish and chips were 25p

So about a fiver in todays money.

People opt for the chicken and chips now.
To be fair to chippies, fish was about £1.50 a stone at Smithfield in 1970 its now about £70. Energy prices in 1970 were massively lower in 1970 and rates/council tax. Enjoy the mass produced hormone and water injected chicken I will stick to the wild fish from the chippie, not the anti biotic loaded farm shite ;-)
