I can absolutely assure you this ain’t jealousy.

I like loud, lairy cars that I put petrol in, I’d be devastated if I was forced to electric.
I've had mine for 3 months and will never go back to petrol/diesel.

Each to their own mate.

I hired a Tesla to see what they about and whilst I’ll admit the acceleration was wild (I drove a 440i so I know quick), I hated the lack of noise.

I say the lack of noise but the rattling from the horrific build quality was noise…

Just not for me. I think they are ugly, and it just doesn’t make sense to me.

Hydrogen is the way.

I've got Audi Q4 etron and it's like **** off a stick and perfectly silent when driving.

Costs me 2p a mile too
 
I second this. They are **** and worse for the environment than any petrol or diesel.

And, well they look like mobility cars for the most part.


One of the blokes on Monday to Thursday nightshift comes to work in his milk float. Parks it way over the site at a charging point then walks the ten minutes to our section.
Then, on his morning break, walks ten minutes back to pick it up.
Every fooking night <laugh> <doh>


I'll stick to spending a couple of minutes filling up with fuel every few weeks :emoticon-0148-yes:



And as for greener lol.
Don't get me started <laugh> these coonts telling us we need to buy electric shìt are the same wànkers who told us all to get diesel vehicles as it was cleaner and now it's the devil's juice <laugh>

Good looking cars some of them e-tron. Aren’t they hybrid? See hybrid with an engine isn’t nearly as offensive.

BMW have more or less said they won’t be putting anything else into electric, there’s signs it’s simply not the solution.

I like engine noise, I’ve always loved cars cars are meant to make noise.

Mine's fully electric, but you can get Q3 and Q5s that are hybrid

Mine was mainly a tax reason - I could get the car through the business and reduce the old corp tax
 
“Absolutely” which means to the greatest degree possible.
Is it wrong to use this every time you agree?
Absolutely.
Why not just say yes. You are right. That is correct.
A minor thing that irritates me.

Aye fair play. So what you saying is you didn’t want one, as such.
Haha no I always fancied one, but spending that much on a car was unlikely to happen without it being a tax write off

Wouldn't have a electric vehicle, just a case of greenwashing now. People forget about the mining of cobalt and lithium to make the batteries.

"100 percent" or "100" has become a buz word of agreement.

New Year has been replaced with "New Years"

This whole coffee addiction that's taken over the country in general.

Calling everything on telly a "Season" when it's a series.

Out for a meal or going out for something to eat is now "out for food".

When ordering a meal anywhere, "can I get" has replaced "I'll have".

"Pre drinks", I mean, what the f**k is that?

People who don't cover their mouth when they cough.

People who look at their phone while walking and just expect everyone else to get out of their way.

People who use the word 'obviously' when what they're talking about is not remotely obvious.

Telling people they are bringing the food to the table - now “ plating up”.
As well as the coffee, this countries obsession with pizza.

All except the electric car parking.

Fùck the sad eco warrior milk float cnuts. Why should they get special bays ? They're not disabled or lugging kids round.
Buy a proper car is what I say :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

Isn't that cause it's a bay you park in if you are going to pay to charge your car?
 
As the title of the thread says. There will be things that are so trivial in the big scheme of things that scarcely warrant a mention, but they still irritate you anyway.
I’m sure there are more than this for me but….

The contraction of the name Rebecca to ‘Becca. I don’t even have anyone in my family with that name but I cringe every time I hear it or read it.
The word cum to describe ejaculated seminal fluid. Again, whenever I read it or hear it it makes me shudder.

So, anyone else want to admit to their little foibles?


Noisy people in pubs, why the **** do they have to shout? Its not a competition FFS
 
One thing springs to mind. People talking with food in their mouth. Disgusting. Got a belt round the ear once off me Dad for doing at the dinner table, lesson learned.
