You are not alone! All the ads are designed to get more customers to think they are a caring business, or to persuade current customers not to leave!

I know many people, who live alone, must find it hard to make every decision themselves but I believe it makes us stronger & more independent.

What a world we have created Twink...() round every corner there is someone wanting to sell you something; TV, internet, radio, telephone or through the letter box.....It's just a 24 hour hard sell, and if they can't empty your bank account legally, they will try and con you. To be honest I'm getting so sick of the way life has become, probably why I make for the wild empty places as often as I can....

I know what you mean! There are too many people living in this country and all are trying to make a living. The sad part is that, one day the wild empty places that some of us seek will also disappear & there will be no escape.
The more houses they build the more jobs will be needed and the whole country will be covered with the "Little Boxes" that Pete Seegar sang about!

Pegging out all the washing in the sunshine then having to rush and grab it off the ropes 5 minutes later when it starts to pour.

Re: Things that annoy you!

I hate that darn packaging that is cardboard on the back and a rigid plastic dome covering whatever is on the front - like new toothbrushes for example, but loads of other things are packed like it too.

I always find it a real pig to get into.

My teeth get damaged too easily so it's scissors for me. But it does defeat the satisfaction of the ggggrrrrrr take that approach when you can't tear into it with your teeth.
