I got a metal house number made up that's just the number about 20cm tall. It looks very stylish (to me anyway) but almost every delivery driver thanks me for making the house number so clear. Apparently a lot of houses don't bother to even put a number up at all.
It was also very useful when 2 police men knocked on my door asking for someone I'd never heard of, then when they said "isn't this number 30?" I pointed to the big number right next where they were standing, which is in single figures and doesn't contain a 3 or a 0, and asked if they were expecting a promotion to Detective any time soon.
Going back to self-service checkouts though: Aren't they just putting people out of jobs while increasing the supermarket's profits? I do use them occasionally when I'm feeling more anti-social than usual and on one occasion someone had left £60 in the cash back slot. I handed it in I like to think the person realised their mistake and got the money back but it was Asda so I wouldn't blame the employee for taking it as a bonus.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I'm getting a bit sick of Sainsburies deliveries. Yesterday they replaced 400g of blueberries with 200g. Not 2 x 200g though, just the one. I'm sure they replace stuff to get rid of stock not because they don't have the item you want. And they keep using single-use carrier bags to wrap things that don't need wrapping. I've avoided them completely for over 10 years and now I have a whole stack of them again.

Don't use Sainsburys far to expensive. My moan to day is again we see nobody's getting on the band wagon and using someone else's good luck to help themselves. I hear that Meghan Markle's father is to launch his own menswear brand and her sister is to be on celebrity big brother what makes her a celebrity ?? Neither were known to the world now everyone's just cashing in on Megan's good fortune.

All fine points but what amazes me is that we now have the whole internet full of entertainment available at ultra fast speeds and yet people still watch 'celebrities' doing inane contrived stuff on TV. You have access to every movie ever made, every book ever written and amazing advert-free content on every kind of topic on Youtube etc and that's how you choose to spend your time?

Speaking of self-service machines, the only time I ever used one, I nearly got thrown out of Asda. It kept saying 'unexpected item in the bagging area'. I checked, nothing there. But it said it again and again. And again.
'Unexpected item in the bagging area'. 'It will be my f***ing boot if you don't behave!'
Cue a rush of one assistant and one security guard and a lot of amused shoppers looking on.
Hate the damn things!
I wish I was a glow worm A glow worm's never glum Cos how can you be grumpy When the sun shines out your bum!
Why is it so complicated to re-assemble a bird feeder? Why do I need the sort of physiology that requires a third hand, 8" fingers and a photographic memory so I don't spend ages assembling the perches and tube before realising I had to thread it through the top first, Grrrrr

Totally agree with you why do people watch that rubbish.
