More peeves...
People who don't think about what they say:
"When's the last train back here?"
"23:58"
"Is there nothing later?"
(You can also change last to first, and later to earlier.)

"Sorry, I forgot to mention my young persons / network / family / senior card when I bought the ticket this morning. Can I change it?"

"I left my wallet / laptop / mobile / camera on the train last night. Did anyone hand it in?"
Sorry, you got off here, if someone else getting off saw you leave it WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL YOU THEN?

My favourite: Someone left a brand new laptop on the station bench. It was noticed seconds after the train left so we rang the next station to get an announcement made for him to return.
The announcement was made, he stuck his head off the train, said "Tell them I'll be back to collect it in a month."
Like hell you will. I'm not keeping it here for your benefit. It goes off to lost property, and when he returns wanting it immediatly he gets the choice of going to another station to collect it (£10 fare plus £10 charge to recover it) or me ordering it back which will take 2 days and just paying £10.)
He moans like hell, but orders it back, and then moans about the £10 when he comes to pay for it.
This was not a 'paving stone' laptop, this was one of those beautiful, fit in an envelope, jobbies which he obviously had insured, and would have been happy to have claimed as stolen if the person who found it wasn't honest.


NEW STYLE BBC PROGRAMS:
Your program is 30 minutes long.
I can live with your "in this programme" and tiny clips of whats coming up.
What I HATE (beyond peeve maybe) is being shown the first half of an article (be it about a sick horse, or a person going missing) then something totally unrelated, then the second half of the article preceded by an explanation of the first half that I only watched 10 flaming minutes earlier!!

My theory, and I mean no insult to anyone, is that these programmes get sold to stations all over the world, and will be cut to allow adverts. People skip channels during the breaks, and if they just catch part two they're still up to date.

NATURIST FILMS:

If I can pay £10 for a brand new Hollywood blockbuster, why does it cost me £60 for a DVD of a film made on a super8 camera 40 yrs ago?
Why do films of naturist families get treated as if anyone who buys them is a paedo or a pervert?
Why do the ones produced in this country as the main ones adverised in naturist magazines only show models who wouldn't be out of place on page 3?
Naturism is a great lifestyle, for all ages and sexes.
Don't sully it with petty prejudices.

Thats all for now....

What exactly is a naturist film?
Is it like a pretentious porno?
