minor things that make you fume

Lol.

I'll reverse that one.

First time my mates fella came over from Kent for a night out, he was amazed that the barmaids only took twenty pence as a tip, let alone how cheap a drink was, compared to Kent. He instantly fell in love with the North ;)

There's a guy visit's our work from darn sarf, I says to him "where you from mate" - "Kent " came the reply, "Are you a man of Kent or a Kentish man" I asked excpectantly "----" I'm just a Kent" he said.........
 
Haha.

That was clearly the cyclists fault. Looks like they did it deliberately to cause a fuss.

Cyclists in London are awful. Half of them don't have lights and seem to think that they can use a mixture of roads and pavements. I hate the ones that try and ride across zebra crossings, I don't stop for those bells.

One undertook me a couple of days ago when I was doing about 25mph and then had the cheek to say I didn't leave him enough room! Felt like running him down.
Got undertaken by another cyclist today at high speed. He left about 8 inches and then tried to blame me for it. He refused my offer to pull over and discuss why he thought I was wrong.

Might get one of those dash cams.
 

I'm currently in Dartford. Absolute dump.

Another thing, at the bar before I said take your own as you do when the barmaid is fit, she only went and took a full price of a drink. Southern blurts.
1) dunno how long you're there for, but if you want a nice country pub, head to The Fighting Cocks in Horton Kirby, it's near to Dartford.

2) 'take your own' is a solely northern concept. Don't expect anyone to take 20p if you say that down here, they'll assume you mean a full drink.

For the benefit of those of us who grew up with a domestic running water supply and without livestock inside the home, can you explain what "take your own" is please? I have never heard of this before.

Normally say "one for yourself" and the bar staff who served you will take 20 - 50p.

I can understand why in places like down south, where the term is not widely used, they'd take like a fiver.

'Oop north' were tipping is not the norm and hardly anybody 'runs a tab' but pays cash as they go. It is offered as a courtesy, but NOT a tip as we don't tip, to deduct from your change a small nominal amount - which if you're busy and pulling pints hand over fist can soon mount up and is also tax free.

Oh and you forgot coal in the bath

Bath? - Luxury!...and away we go.
