I know airports and airlines have rules but what annoys me is that some seem to go out there way to catch you out and charge you extra. Spell a name wrong when you book and then try to change it... kerching. Turn up with hand baggage half an inch to long.... kerching. Ryanair are one of the airlines appealing about some new guidance allowing more hand baggage allowance and the owner has made it clear that staff will be incentivised to raise more money in such ways.

Things like that are generally at the budget end of the market. They have their place and they work very well for some. Just need to go in with your eyes wide open.
If flying with Malaysian Airlines best keep you eyes closed and fingers crossed.
Do this in Germany too with curry ketchup.
In Norway it’s curry powder they put on chips with curry ketchup.
I asked if my cousins had vinegar when we came home late from the club one early morning, they couldn’t believe it, vinegar on chips! Mind you, I put vinegar on my kebab too!
Are you a teacher? I know the is years ago, but first time I’ve seen the thread!
Not sure vinegar on food exists here - it's used for cleaning, rather than eating.
Good point. No idea. It's more a Swedish thing, we only have it at christmas. Never seen brown vinegar for sale or ever used. Maybe balsamic for the cultured? Actually not sure why I got involved and commented. I like eating, but detest cooking and preparing food and will actively stay in a dysfunctional relationship to avoid ever having to cook a meal, so have **** all knowledge about it.
Just called a company, sorry all our operators are busy right now but you can request a call back, OK do that. We will call you back within the next 48hrs.
FFS.

Yes but don't forget your call is very important to them...
Swings and roundabouts, recently I rang the DWP pensions department, one hour and forty five minutes before they answered (I don't give up), a few days later I had to ring HMRC and they answered immediately!
Stupid successive govts thinking that Chinese tourists were taking pictures of things they didn’t have or were curious about / the naivety is unbelievable . Once they infiltrated Unis and other institutions they will have taken the info back for wider use such as buying British Steel then doing nothing while they run the competition down or stoke the IP .
I know it’s a bit politics but it does grind your gears to see how stupid we are in chasing a fast buck .

I'm really xxxxed off. This is the third time in a couple of weeks I've failed to open a jar of beetroot. I've tried everything but I'm at the point of giving up, I can't take much more. Would I be in order to ask the fire brigade to come immediately and use their cutting gear?
It's about financial stuff so there's bound to be loads of security questions, passwords, dob, address and the likes so rather than talking that stuff out in public I chose to call them on a day when I'm home all day. On top of that my living room floor is covered with the relevant paperwork for easy access. I did have a plan to be out and about tomorrow, looks like I will be staying home as the ****ers haven't called back yet.
Shove it your backside and go to A &E
No one ever shoves it up, they slip on the floor and that's how it got up there.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it, literally.
My wife has a trick that works every time - get a knife and hit the edge several times it seems to release the seal somehow .
