Some people have very thin skins.
I see nothing offensive in your post worth that backlash.

Honestly made me happy reading your thoughts there. The first statement I mentioned as it possibly might help tracking the criminal down. The thing about dash cams is so you have video footage which is a lot better rather than giving verbal description to the police. 

It does annoy me how people are quick to judge and start liking her post. One lady cheering her 🙄

The lady who posted about this incident said her son came home after living in uni so wouldn't be anyone that he would of upsetted. She did say there are a lot of witnesses thankfully.

M&S tonight looked like a plague of locusts had gone through it, naff all left that I wanted.
Sainsburys were busy but bearable however had no scan'n'shop handsets (all piled up in baskets by the tills awaiting putting back into the charger docks).
I figured that they needed docking to reset before another shopper could use them so cheekily swagged one and reset it myself thus avoiding big queues at the tills.

I was in M&S when the locusts were there...  It was absolutely horrendous!  Makes me wonder why M&S have shut so many shops when they clearly still have a good customer base!

Also had a similar experience in Sainsburys...no small trolleys left so I had to walk the carpark to find one, then only 2 handheld scanners on the rack...and one of those was flashing 'low battery'!

When you comment on Facebook trying to help then get hated on by someone and people taking their side 🙄. There was a lady where her son had someone crash into him and tried running him over. I messaged saying this and had a lady say this thinking I'm being rude. Funny how people are quick to judge after. 

I don't generally use Facebook any more, especially not dashcam pages, they're full of people like this!  Can't say anything without upsetting or offending someone. 🤦‍♂️  It does go to show the type of people we have to share the road with though!  Not sure if you saw the Micra video?  Where a middle aged guy in a pick-up gets offended by being called a '31' by an old guy...so rips him out of the car and beats the ***** out of him!  So many comments saying it was deserved as you can't call someone names without physical repercussions! :unsure:  I mean, if the old guy had been brake checking then maybe it was deserved, but from the one sided story it didn't look like it to me...  We'll never know though.

I hate to say it, but your name may also trigger some people...I did just check that persons profile to see if it was full of red crosses, bulldogs and Brexit... :laugh: 

@TomsFocus Was that video of a black mitsubishi pick up and a blue micra? I did see a video a on Facebook of this. The description said the mitsubishi driver didn't like the micra drivers reaction as he had to swerve to avoid him.

Yeah that's the one...there have been a few descriptions posted so hard to tell which is correct.  Either way, it was a massive over-reaction!

I personally wish I had a friend like that who would sit in my car and do that to drivers who really do deserve it 😂. I mean people who purposely cut in front by going down the oncoming lane or other manner of scummy driving. There's a guy on YouTube I watch who actually reports bad drivers. 

Here's one of his videos where he stopped two 'doctors' who decided to go down th wrong side of the road to turn right.

Clarkson was a bit controversial with the boat lol was good 

Nice to see Argos are no different to the other retailers out there with boxing day sales , just when you think prices would drop. What I bought before Xmas has now had a 20% increase today . Lol

Batteries?  

They usually increase in price on boxing day because they know you have a new gift which needs powered

I got a new Xbox controller yesterday and was surprised to see it came with a couple of free Duracells! 😮  Just a shame the controllers are poor quality rubbish lol, this is the 2nd genuine replacement needed in 5 years of One ownership.  Still, I guess that's better than the 360 that RROD'd just outside of the 3 year warranty back in 2010! 😒  Not sure what I did in the 4 years between the 360 breaking and buying a One...it definitely wasn't a real life. :laugh: 

My don't like for the day is how painful my feet are, stung like a ***** in the shower this morning, don't think I'm gonna be able to 'wear in' these shoes as it's much worse than I thought under both ankles now.  Had the same issue on a different brand a couple of years ago and just had to suck it up and lose the £20...looks like I'll have to do the same with these.  Very annoying as they felt alright when I tried them on so don't know how I can make sure it doesn't happen again. :sad:   Though I'm now in an interesting position of having to wear one pair to the shop...so do I choose one ***** heel or two ***** ankles...now there's a choice I wasn't expecting to have! :unsure: 

Oh...I've just remembered I have a pair of funeral shoes I could wear but they aren't exactly comfortable either...at least they'll go nicely with jeans and a hoody! :lol:

our lad spotted these three outside 😅

Hes growling and politely tapping the dog door bells which hang from the handle as if were letting him out without a lead on 🤪

@Lenny I think santa was too big to fit through the fire place 😂.

Wonder what plans you have for there 👍

Thought I'd give you all a laugh with my 'I don't like' today....

 

I took the Qashqai for its first machine wash today. 

 

Got in position in the wash, machine started up, realised that I had forgotten to remove aerial! Split second decision, thought I could exit the car, remove aerial and get back in the car before the brushes started.

 

I managed this........apart from my foot!!!

 

Got a bit wet, but no damage to car thankfully.

 

With hindsight, I should have left the aerial (cheap off eBay) or removed it and not try and get back in the car 😃

 

Lesson learned. 

@Turvey how come you had to remove the aerial? I have only used a machine wash once, in a work Fiesta Van, and wouldn't have thought about the aerial at all.

As for the accident wash, if the place had CCTV then you could always request a copy for a laugh later on :laughing:

I don't like whatever paranormal activity is going on here today...

First completly lost a radio station I've had no trouble with until today.  Then the Xbox switched itself on.  Then the radio switched itself on.  Then during dinner the TV lost all Freeview signal twice before coming back to normal.  And just now the kitchen strip light went off for about 20 seconds...I wasn't quick enough to see if all the electric had gone off, but the radio continued playing during that time (mains powered but may have a cap?) and the oven clock didn't reset either.  WTF is going on here!? 😮
