While away at the weekend the youth hostel only supplied black tea, which wasn't to my taste and it set me thinking.
Why would anyone buying tea not buy one of the popular teas such as PG tips or similar.
So I would put flavoured teas into Room 101.

Oh lordy - we can probably get enough of these to do an alphabet thread!!
Reality TV - who are they kidding? Real life is like that? I watched two shows from the first series to give it a fair try. After that I couldn't stomach any more than two minutes. So then I kept abreast through the red tops. Then I stopped. If it wasn't for Nadine Dorries, I wouldn't have known they were still going on.
(You had better limit how many posts I am allowed......)

Go for it, you know you want to clear away all those things that trouble you.
I have a few more to post, then I can become an official grumpy old man.

People who buy a cup of coffee from one of those chains of coofee houses and then proceed to carry on shopping carrying it.
Don't they realise that the sole purpose of cafe's and coffee shops are to rest whilst shopping a enjoy your beverage.

Okay start with the really bad ones and we'll see how it goes.
If I get bored I'll have to stop you, that maybe censorship though, I'm not sure I can stop you, see life has become a little more difficult all ready.
As in the Nike's advert Just do It.

Windows updates just as I turn off my laptop before taking it with me to go out.
Why doesn't it politely ask if now is a good time? ??

Carbon monoxide should go in room 101.
Also white chocolate as it should be against trade description, it's not chocolate, not even chocolate coloured, doesn't taste like chocolate ~it's pointless.
Also supermarket self service tills.
Also most MPs, the prime minister, the welfare reform bill and ATOS.

Telephone Preference Service - I mean what is it for? It doesn't stop nuisance calls. They don't respond to emails.

Beauty and health adverts with their fake science - how do these get past the advertising standards people?
Actually most adverts and marketing - they seemed designed to misinform, hide, misrepresent, manipulate your minds. If they described their product accurately, most would think the product does not do what it says on tin. They will say anything that they can get away with as long as you give them your money. They don't sell, these days...they extract money.

Advertising standards agency...I mean, what do they actually do? They don't actually expect advertising claims to be accurate - that is the standard they start from.

Glad you retrieved the white chocolate Karen! I would replace it with coffee cake.....
Also large shoe shops with nowhere to sit (brantano springs to mind)
free apps for kids games that have pop ups to buy extra

I get annoyed on a lot of forums for being called a freeloader because I wild park. I pay a small fortune to keep my motorhome on the road like everyone else and all of those costs include a sizeable chunk of tax. I always spend in the local area, both home and abroad. It is not a legal requirement to stay on a site and if it ever becomes so I'll sell the van. Yes I know I have a CL, I'm not against sites they just do not suit my style of motorhome usage. Everyone has a right to choose how they use their own van without being slagged off because its different to your ideas. Live and let live. Oh yes and my reputation has gone down from 2 to zero in the changes, is that because I'm a freeloading tosser.  |

Bopper reminded me - pubs and cafes with plasma screens that no one watches. (I turn round and walk out again)
Mind you, it is great for those football matches that lots of people like to watch as a community. |

Traffic lights where I sit waiting while nothing and no one else is moving. Surely, in this day and age, we turn them off at night when they are not needed and have smart control during the day.
A few years, two sets of lights in Hereford broke. As it happened, that day I was driving a bus on a short route (30 minutes) that took in both sets of light. It knocked 25% off my driving time and their were no queues (which there usually were) |

TV programmes that constantly show you what's coming up in the next part of the show.
No point watching the rest, then!

Hi we nearly always freecamp - old age pension gives loads of leisure time but too little money to pay camp site fees. 
The van has solar panel, large water tank So we are pretty self sufficient. Jon
