Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

Yeah, still going strong.
A visit there is quick and the cut might not always be quite finished, but it's entertaining.

As a little lad, used to dread a visit to Basil Davis at Stratton crossroads.
Always a severe short back and sides no matter what was asked for.

‘A visit there is quick and the cut might not always be quite finished, but it's entertaining.’

Kind of how I saw it, not quite finished, yes perfect description.

The three gobshites who just walked past my house talking as loud as they could.

Have been to Barcelona a couple of times & had no problems, I guess it’s just luck of the draw

likewise.

I put it down to looking like a double hard bastard that shouldn't be messed with.

but it could have been luck  I guess

I too was robbed in Barcelona. On my last day - great city, great trip but put a dampener somewhat on the proceedings.

[Flashheart]

I've been to Barcelona and had a horrible time. No 'problems' as such but the people were horrible. Very aggressive for no apparent reason and I did not feel welcome at all.

Beautiful city, though.

[Chubbs]

Never been to Barcelona but madrid was brilliant when I went a few years back.

Driven through Barcelona, didn't stop

Being asked to vacate seat in pub because "there is someone sitting there".
Made way for the invisible person.

Bloody Northerners, don't they know the rules when I'm in a pub.

Only 50,000 pubs remaining and so little time left to get through them all.

Returning empty glass to the bar on leaving is sadly a dying tradition.

A worrying trend is a linear queue forming for service in some pubs, when there is a nice long bar to lean against and wait to be served.

Happily there is a still a lot of honesty around when harassed bar staff say "who's next" (not all of them do though).
Anyone who dives in ahead is subject to a long hard stare of disapproval. That'll teach them. Not.

And in general, whatever has happened to a simple please & thank you these days.

Then there’s the scourge of plastic ‘glasses’. Mrs Audrey got her lunchtime VAT in a plastic pint pot yesterday.

Classy!

I recently had to suffer the ignominy of drinking in a place called the Blues Kitchen in Shoreditch.
I went up to get served and,I kid you not, there was a section of the bar that had been reserved for a group of people that had yet to arrive.
I was expecting some famous pop star or footballer with their entourage to appear but they were just a very ordinary bunch of office dullards on a works do.
Is this a regular thing in London now?

It sounds like we have extremely similar bar etiquette. When leaving the pub I always return my glass(es) and thank the staff for their hospitality. The bar queue is interesting as well, in London there is a LOT of dickheads who will always jump the queue. Like you a glare is then often forthcoming but generally ignored.

I like a drink but a pint of vat . . at lunchtime.
