The most loathsome TV programme?
Just returned from a European trip (Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Holland) in Mrs BRD's MX5.
On our return, said wife has been watching EastEnders on catch-up (maybe being in close proximity to me for nearly a month has driven her to it). Is there, or has there ever been a more loathsome, disgusting, unpleasant programme on TV? |

Perversely, the 'reality' shows are anything but real, but equally pointless & pathetic whereas EE purports to reflect real life. I just don't understand the appeal, does it make the viewers feel better because their lives are not as miserable or dysfunctional?

I'm with all of you on this one and couldn't agree more. Our comments are of course indicative of our age.... We should continue the thread and compile a list of all things that pi** off us mature folk - I'll start:-
1. All mentioned so far. 2. Footballers spitting during a game - can't they be fined £50,000 a spit with proceeds to charity or something??? |

Do they not have it lip-synced into the local language?? It seems a little unfair that we are the only country in the EU to have to suffer this (and all the other garbage), then it may of course be a conspiracy conceived by some secret EU body to punish us for failing to adopt the Euro.
The old series of top gear dubbed into Italian makes almost more sense than it does in English, I suspect EE would be much better … take a seemingly meaning less plot and overlay a language you don't understand …. Entertainment at it's finest.

He addressed me as 'dude' & 'mate' which I really appreciated. On the TV theme, with the plethora of channels available, someone is missing a trick - there should be a grumpy old man channel. The output on Dave is usually half-decent. |

This thread is going to "roll" isn't it....?
I have a thing about being called "mate" by someone younger than my Son....and "dude" I am impressed bigredduke - are you sure you were in a tire fitting bay....? Nickj - I reckon you have an IQ off the scales - either that or you speak Japanese in code - I have read your post 3 times and ...... but then I am a Yorkshire man - sorry...... How do you put smilies on these comments as all the above is in jest - but without them members may think I am a **** - which I probably am because I am still trying on "S4R Won't Start - Getting me Down - part 2" |

The thread seems to be going sideways about how we, the public, are spoken to by employees in the service industry. But in that note, I detest being called 'bud'!
I work in the building industry, the amount of times I've gone to a supplier for something and a member of staff, normally under the age of 20, says to me ' hi bud' More than once in no uncertain terms the person in question has been told I'm not their bud/ buddy, I'm the customer!!!!!... Ggggrrrrr....
