MRS GRUMPY…yes it is official, I am…

‘coming out’ and admitting it. So, what makes me grumpy? Lots of things, the list will be endless…starting with

OBESE PEOPLE  (i.e. people over a defined weight) should have to pay an excess same as overweight luggage.

BBC BREAKFAST PROGRAMME, the one where they sit on the settee. It’s getting more like a Nanny state programme…they will be telling us when to blow our noses before long.

CHINESE FOOD…NO it isn’t. It is westernised and adjusted to someones idea of what we would like. If you have lived in the Far East as I have you would know the difference.

MOANING MINNIES of the volcanic ash situation…I admit a large group of people were disadvantaged and found themselves with problems returning to the UK. BUT the others that moaned and complained that the Government should be helping them out.WHY? Stop whinging, sort yourselves out and treat it as an adventure and use your own initiative.

TV ADVERTS for some Law Firms…the ones saying ‘We are lawyers dealing in so and so" No YOU ARE NOT, YOU ARE ACTORS, you are playing a part, you are NOT lawyers

PEOPLE who tell me ‘It is alright for you" WHY IT IS?

TOP GEAR…the programme..3 grown men shouting and showing off and who have to be surrounded by sycophantic idiots with overlaid canned laughter, combined with an occasional bimbo blonde to fulfill the role of token female.

JEREMY CLARKSON…..I worshipped him from afar when I was younger, thought he was sex on legs for years. But grow up elegantly Jeremy!! Having said that, your books and writing are BRILLIANT.

CHINESE WHISPERS..I live in a Spanish village with a growing Ex pat community…Chinese whispers are rife i,e, ‘Send reinforcements, we are going to attack" quickly becomes ‘Send three and fourpence, we are going to a dance"…’nough said.

ISRAEL..I love Israel but I don’t like or agree with what they are doing with regard to their neighbours and the Gaza Strip in particular.

PEOPLE who enquire for holiday rentals saying ‘have you anything available June or July?……WHEN in June or July?  These are the same people who can’t be bothered to tell you if the plane is late.

JEANS…for men….older men….they NEVER fit…why not? Sit and do some people watching..airports are good for this (particularly when waiting for people who don’t tell you the plane is late).  There are some really good looking older men, but do their jeans fit? NO THEY DON"T……the crutch is half way down their legs and their backsides are covered in bunches of denim. WHY????
