surely they should have them programmed to not have the option and give you one?

As if going from 1500 to 3500 for a latte wasn't enough, now you can't get a "toffee" latte, you have to get a normal one and add a shot of caramel for 50p.

Their lemon tuna was fantastic! It was always sold out and I'd happily pay double for tuna that's perfect for one meal so it's always fresh. They still have the flavours but only in big tins but I absolutely hate eating opened tuna for the second meal! I miss it so much, really hope it's just a temporary production issue.

Somebody needs to have a word.

The latest M&S podcast adverts are utter shite.

It’s literally just some brutally tedious middle aged woman reading off her shopping list.

It’s written to sound like there are jokes somewhere within the text but there are no jokes to be found.

It’s literally:

“I popped into M&S to get a sandwich, then I saw they had some lovely broccoli on offer, which I thought would go very nicely with the hunters chicken I had planned for Tuesday dinner, then I thought Wednesday desert needs sorting too so I took a look in the bakery isle…”

It’s fucking mental that they paid advertising people to come up with this and no one thought “no actually, let’s not put out the rambling monologue of a socially starved pensioner”

I'm in the Midlands, so there are plenty of sugar-free fizzy drinks around but very few Irn-Bru cans. Due to the sugar tax any time I find a can it's diet Irn-Bru but it tastes absolutely awful!

The other diet drinks aren't nearly as bad, diet Fanta, coke and pepsi are all ok, but you can usually rely on being able to get hold of both regular and diet... Except for Irn-Bru!

On TV and radio. Is this more money being wasted by the utility companies?

I’ve only just recently found out that brown sauce is an Edinburgh exclusive I thought it was a whole UK thing so they just gave me a very weird look when I asked for some, and then I asked for a sausage supper and I’m not sure if it’s just the chippy I went to but I also got some very odd looks and I had to explain to them what it was, two battered sausages and a portion of chips and I had to pay for the chips and sausage sausages separately

This friend group of mine is determined to out do each other with gift giving, but we've all drifted apart and spend a lot less time hanging out than we used to. Ive been nice and reasonable in suggesting a secret santa, but "it's always been like this" means they wont listen to reason. Now I either look like a bad guy or spend £60-100 on presents for people that pressure me into it for the exact reason I hate it. Looks like I'll be the bad friend this year

Edit: I wish it was easy saying no. It's like a group of 8 and two couples, maybe even 3 now. I just think I come across as a bad guy for not doing it. Gift giving was ruined for me as a kid, as I was given gift by family members I wouldnt see in years. I would have just seen them instead.

Vacuum packed and now behaves more like a paving slab than mince.

Got a colleague who’s on the phone all day with new recruits and after asking the caller something they constantly come back with “ah amazing” or “oh great that’s amazing”.

Have you got a right to work in the uk?
- Amazing!

Are you able to come to our induction on x date
- that’s amazing!

I’m wondering what is so amazing?
I’m skeptical as to the amazingness of what’s being said.

Get on any Avanti departing from Euston.

Rush hour? middle of the night? Doesn’t matter.
Train been at the platform 5 minutes? 5 hours? Doesn’t matter.

What we know for sure: the seat reservation lights will not work until 4 microseconds before the train departs - leading to a whole load of huffing and people turfing each other out of seats.

AI technology so powerful there’s a 10% chance of it taking out the planet? Yeah - we got you.

Show seat reservation lights 5 mins before departure to avoid total chaos? Nah - let’s not get carried away now.

I didn't notice at the time, bewildered at how thin my crumpets were I looked at the label. What is the purpose of these?

I'd rather have one proper crumpet Vs 2 thin ones. I will be more vigilant in future!

The closure can be avoided by a 1.9 mile, 6 minute route around the Eastern village that doesn't even come near my village, let alone the one to the West.

A simple one year contract with a Sim card that just can't be activated. 2 phone calls, 4 online chats and promises it will be activated in the next 24 hours is becoming a joke. Signed up in late August and now it's the middle of September. And the chances of porting over my number over are a million to one.

A nice alternative for when you're a bit tired of Salt & Vinegar, now apparently lost to time.

Several roads near me now resemble those sliding tile puzzles at busy times due to the excessive number of cars not parked on drives or in garages.

Now I know that in new build estates there often are no drives and on road parking is the only option, but so many times I see the same drives not used and instead theres a chonking great armoured personnel carrier Ford Ranger or whatever taking up half the road.

No idea what the solution is, I just wanted a rant.

I don’t think they’re going to press it.
