Especially as Shell and BP have just announced profits of over 7 billion pounds between them in the first three months of the year. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a584.asp Having just endured a sleepless night to ensure prompt arrival at an airport for a very early flight, I was allocated a seat on a flight in front of the toilets. To top it all, the most inconsiderate person I have met was sat in front of me. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a574.asp Any information we receive on the road depends on the person in the control room. To make a route change we need information a junction or two before the incident and we need to know what has happened. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a548.asp Why do yellow box junctions attract the most clueless drivers in the country? The nip through the traffic lights with no thought for anyone and end up stranded there blocking the path of everyone else! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a546.asp A pet hate of mine would be people who tailgate and flash their headlights to try and get you to move over. Who do they think they are? It's certainly not going to achieve the desired effect and more likely to make me take my time. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a538.asp My gripe is the ridiculous Ryanair excess baggage policy. Lots of people use low-cost airlines these days because it’s a cheap way to fly, however, be warned, sometimes travelling with a no-frills airline can cost you. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a533.asp I have been driving for six years and in all that time I have had a clean license, but now have received af fine for £258 for an offence I'm not even sure I committed. Even worse, I got sent a text message! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a525.asp There are many Park and Ride facilities around the country and they are very useful except for one thing – from my experience, Park and Ride bus drivers are the most spiteful in the country compared with other bus drivers. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a522.asp I saw one of the most dangerous manoeuvres by a motorcyclist I have ever seen in my life whilst driving home along the M40 one Sunday evening. Taking stupid risks isn't cool and does nothing for the image of bikers. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a515.asp With the recent rise of gas prices, now at $3.23 per gallon in the Sacramento area, I decided to look into new cars.. I was shocked to say the least that regardless of transmissions, they could do better than 35 MPG! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a506.asp
