Fortnightly rubbish collection and fines
Quite frankly local councils take the biscuit but apparently not the rubbish these days. I've just read an article in the news about a guy who now has a criminal record - for overfilling his wheelie bin!

Teenagers deserve respect too
Not all teenagers are the same. I’m 14 years old, and I don’t hang around the streets at night drinking and swearing. I don’t cause trouble, and I have never been in trouble with the police.

The immigrant hierarchy in the UK
The immigration policies in the UK need to be stricter, if only to give the immigrants here a better reputation. I am a Caucasian, blue eyed, English-as-a-first-language immigrant to England – married to a British man.

Elderly people assume teenagers are yobs
What is really very annoying is the self-righteous and sometimes pitying nature of some of this elderly people in society, particularly towards teenagers and youngsters. It's actually quite upsetting some of the comments I hear.

Unclear and misleading language
Can anyone explain the obsession nowadays with changing long-established, well-understood words for new words which are unclear and misleading? Some of these changes are actually detrimental to the running of a business.

Waste removal and recycling policy
Our council has decided to change their waste removal and recycling policy. We are now all recycling and having our bins (recyclable and regular waste) collected only every other week.

Heading towards a police state?
Are we really sleep walking towards a police state? Britain has by far the largest number of cameras in the world with an estimated five million in public and private hands.That's about one for every 12 people.

UK Council Tax system doesn't work
How much longer must we put up with the insane system of Council Tax imposed on us in this country? My Council Tax bill is over £1,200 a year and it takes away about one fifth of my pension.

Fed up with people who hurl abuse
I am fed up with people who hurl abuse. I am overweight, so I walk into work in an attempt to loose some weight. On my way there I regularly have to suffer verbal abuse from kids going to school, thugs in vans and car drivers.

Benefit-claiming council estate residents
I think that society would be better off without a large majority of the benefit-claiming, council estate cases in this country. Why should we pay to keep them in the style they have so clearly become accustomed to?

Teenagers are human beings too
Okay, so why is the current generation of teenagers being victimised? Let's face it, we are because there's hardly a day goes by that you don't see something in the news or on television.

People today are superficial
As I get older (58 years young) and reflect on life that though people in general have more spending power, more consumable income than 50 years ago; I have to ask are they really more content?

The misunderstood youth of today
I wonder what sort of person I could have been if I was able to have the kind of parental support young people have today. Are the misunderstood youth of today a direct result of misunderstood parents?

Basic manners cost nothing
A simple please and thank you are the most basic manners that everyone should employ in their day to day dealings with other people. It would seem however that some shop cashiers are just incapable of being polite.

Spitting in public places
Spitting is such a disgusting habit. I just wish there were some divine power that would turn it around mid flight and fling it back in the faces of the morons that feel the need to spit all over the street in the first place!

Ticket machines that don't give change
My gripe is about council car parks. I am fed up with these ticket machines that don't give change. Do the people that operate these machines think that we wander around all day with pockets full of coins or something?

People who buy their council house
It makes my blood boil, when neighbours who have been very friendly for years, decide to buy their council house and then change completely over night. They turn into complete snobs

Increase the legal drinking age
I think the legal drinking age should be increased. Recently there have been far too many violent incidents amongst 18-20 year old which have been either alcohol induced or drug induced.

Society is going down the tubes
Maybe I'm just getting older, is it me or is society in general going down the tubes? Epsom has now become infested with sub blue-collar single parent chav scum. I can only blame this on the near vicinity of council estates.

Lazy friends become a liability
These spongers on benefit who haven’t got the capability to earn a living are out to bring down others. I know what it is like to struggle on low income, but I would not sponge of others.

Boy racers on our streets
BOY RACERS - I'm really sick and tired of the so-called 'boy racers' with various types of customised cars, but all with loud exhausts. They treat the streets like a race track and the police just aren't interested.

Trans-sexuals and society
Trans-sexuals in society. It really annoys me the way society in general treat trans-sexual individuals. People need to be better educated on this subject.

Thugs that killed an old lady
I read in the news today yet another story in the news today about a defenceless old lady who had been beaten to death in her house. This kind of thing really turns my stomach.

Occasionally I go for something a bit different with my hair style and clothes; so I recently decided to be bit more radical than normal and opt for a mohican style haircut.

There is no excuse for the garbage on our streets these days and you see it all the time. From cigarette butt litter and food litter, to chewing gum and sweet wrappers.

Elderly people have feelings too
How many of you look at the older person as a pain? Come on they move at a pace that comes close to a snail and when your behind them you are delayed for your own busy lifestyle.

So this is it the French have finally decided to succumb to closing the Sangatte camp, on the grounds that we in the UK accept half. Why? Have we not got enough ‘British Citizens’ already?

Ripped off in trendy bars
I know there's already an article on this web site that deals with dress code in bars and clubs but I think there are some other annoying features about these kinds of places the really needs to be pointed out before we all end up bankrupt.

Dress code in bars and clubs
In this country our bars and clubs rip us off left right and centre with the cost of drinks or admission fees. To add insult to injury many of these places are now starting to insist on a dress code before you can even get through the door.

Its seems incredible to me that in the year 2001 we british still cling to some crazy law that was introduced during the war to prevent munition factory workers from getting pissed up at night.
