Rarely have a problem round Birmingham anymore with that. Any of the supermarkets seemed to have a bit of training on it now, if its says sterling its good enough for them. The exception are Scottish fivers which they wont touch.

I've tried educating them in tesco but they dont listen!

Was in it once, in the middle of the night. Hateful place.

Was in it yesterday for 4 hours, hardly any seats. Maybe the fact that i was tired and wanted to get home and my two year old daughter was running amok might have had something to do with it. It was like being in a foreign country...............

Never spent a lot of time in it, always just passing through. Not the worst of airports I've been in, and probably slightly more structured and ordered than Heathrow, though that's the best I coiuld say about it.

I love the bouncy walkways they have there. All our footpaths should be like that.

When you get on to a bus with a £20 note and the driver says he cant take you as he's no change...Not my problem...get some....

I have been told that he cant ask you to get off, he is supposed to give you some sort of ticket to allow you as a good citizen to go and pay for it.

Just recieved a 1 day freedom of NI ticket because i complained about this.. Not bad for a £1.50 fare...

Nagging women!
Where do they get the energy to go on and on and on and on about the same thing?

Dublin Airport having 2 lads on the EU passport section of passport control when about 6 flights have come in at the same time...grr. At that stage you just want to get out and get home!!

Miquita Oliver and Steve Jones from T4 - these two really grind my gears - they take the whole trying to be sarcatsic/funny presenter thing way to far - im gona start a campaign - bring back Vern & June!!!!

ziggysego · January 26, 2009, 03:20:32 PM

Can't say I've ever watched T4. Never was a big fan of Yoof TV. However, I did watch The Word the odd time, but that was more a case of morbid curiousity.
