I was, with BSM in the 90s and, I can assure you that the job was never boring.

Especially when it was the era of the mini skirt...

Weren't the 90s a bit later than the mini skirt era?

Wasn't Father Formby the parish priest of St Theresa's back in the late 50's or 60's ? I was a pupil there and seem to remember him coming in to the school quite regularly.

Any one recall the local legendary Father Formby who would drive his old car at a speed of 10/15 mph along all roads and right in the middle of the road too? When anyone sounded their horn or blasphemed at him - he would smile, roll down his window, cross himself and say 'Bless you, my son"

Just because he was ready to meet his maker, didn't mean everybody else was or even believed.

You're lucky your wife isn't Japanese, as a good friend of mine is henpecked by his Japanese wife regarding wearing shoes in the house...
In fact we all have to bring our slippers when visiting....

I remember during snowy winters after the war, my Dad would throw cinders on the path leading up to the front door...that was done to stop slipping on the icy pathway..

My Mum would shout that "shoes be taken off and left in the porch"...what a dirty mess was left when the ice and snow melted...
All the neighbours did the same thing...

Salt was rationed in those days...

That sweater doesnt go with those trousers . when we're in the damn car .

Had this trouble with one of my teenage sons many years ago. Persisted in walking into the house in his dirty motorcycle boots and onto expensive carpet we'd recently had laid. I eventually lost patience and his boots ended up, in the bin.

"I paid a lot of money for those boots dad" he said, whilst cleaning all the debris and old food off the boots. "Perhaps you'll remember that next time you feel like walking on our expensive carpet in them" I replied. Never had the problem again, the boots always came off at the back door which, was all we'd asked him to do in the first place.

My list is endless. I'll start with

Pavement cyclists
Amber gamblers (those who put their foot down when approaching traffic lights)
Not being able to find an empty aisle in the shop when you want to pay for your stuff and they're occupied by the aforementioned people chatting away and blocking said aisle.
Pavement parkers and also people who treat traffic islands as roundabouts.
Buses that vanish when they are due according to the timetable.

I am patient of all the above except those people who go to walk out of a door then stop short blocking the exit.

Inexplicable action!
