Big jackpots on the Euro Millions it would be much fairer if they paid out a bit more for smaller prizes,but its all about greed big wins like the Weirs who won £167 million 2 years ago.Also lotto will be £2 a line from sept another rip off ok if you play lucky dips you can walk away,but if you have a line you have always stuck by then do you carry on incase the six come up or stop?

I like the big jackpots on the euromillions. What really peeves me off its always old (really old) or fat people that win it. Millionaire raffle is a con, winners seem to be all down south, Last time i looked on the unclaimed prizes Four millionaire raffle prizes where unclaimed in the London area.

People who take the Motorway (Freeway where I am) just to go short distances even if it means going several miles out of their way just to get on!

People who drive short distances to places. My neighbours take the car to a shop that is no more than about 400m away from home. Also people who will circle round and round busy car parks to get a space as close to shops as possible. Are they so lazy they can't walk an extra few metres?

Re: Your very petty pet hates

that makes no sense.
they use it to go short distances even though it takes longer that it would have had they taken a different route.

One night I went to the store with one of my housemates. He takes the motorway to get there even though the store is only 2 miles from my house.

Here's one that's been driving me round the bend lately. Hitting the backspace key while posting on a forum and the cursor goes right back to the beginning of the sentence instead of the one character you want to delete.

Saying "I'm just off to run the hoover around". We don't and have never owned a Hoover. We've had a Dyson, a Panasonic, a VAX, a Morphy Richards, but never ever have we had a Hoover. Smart marketing by Hoover .. you have to applaud that.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

I'm backing the American lingo tainting our beautiful language. Although we're getting our own back by messing up theirs up too. It's surprising how much influence a few outsiders can have on a language. Just alone I've managed to get Americans to covert to saying stuff like 'biscuits' and 'petrol'.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

I bought one of those hessian shopping bags a couple of years ago for a fiver and it has a multitude of uses. I always take it for food shopping and use it all the time for other things so it was money well spent. Sturdy too with no signs of wear at all.

The idea is to keep your bags from the last shop & reuse them the next time. I managed to keep reusing some Asda bags for life for over 2 years before they wore out, & then Asda replaced them for free!
