Beverages
If I'm making tea or coffee for more than two people I line the mugs up in the alphabetical order of the names of people they are for.

There is some common sense to this as it helps to remember which you need to put sugar, milk in etc., and whose the mugs belong to if you are refilling.


Letters should be addressed without the county, with the postal town underlined twice and the postcode underlined once.


When I'm sitting at the bar in the pub, my money is left on the bar in a single pile from largest to smallest (diameter rather than denomination), heads facing upwards.

Any logo on the pint glass should face me.

The pint glass should sit within something appropriate on the bar towel, e.g. in the 'O' of a brewery name.


I also hate people who use the word 'Beverage'

Royal Mail once advised...
...that underlining a post code makes it harder for their automated sorting machines to read.

I'm not sure the same goes for towns.

That might save you a few penstrokes...

I just hit reply
to give the same advice.

The postcode should not be underlined, as it does indeed confuse the automatic sorters - which causes them to drop through and be sorted by hand, making life that little bit more tedious for the poor posties.

Post town underlining is fine, that's only read by humans.

You utter bastard...
