Another here who would ban 'like' constantly used in conversations. I'd also ban leggings worn as trousers because those who tend to favour them have massive arses and thighs. If a tunic is worn over them it would be okay but there would be Leggings Wardens roaming the streets to fine those who flout this law.

I'd outlaw foul language used in public too.

A candidate for Cherrytrees's village stocks please:
The motorist who drives right past you, without any thanks or acknowledgement; when you actually had right of way but you've been very nice and kind and you hung back to let him through. can I throw bad eggs and rotten tomatoes at them?

Definitely ban overuse of the word 'like' phoenix I agree.
Ban people who turn down pages of books or otherwise deface them
Ban the phrase 'lessons will be learned '

Men who wee down the passage at the side of our house!

I'd ban all forms of technology that didn't adhere to a single method of usage, so all phones would work in the same way, all computers, big or small, all household appliances would have the same buttons in the same place, all remote controls would be identical .

We have some of the traffic things round us that say ‘Thank you’!

Phoenix can I also add candidates to try out our village stocks?.

Litter bugs
Owners who don't poop a scoop (especially in areas where children play).

I would ban packets and jars that can't be opened!

With you all the way nanaK54 the "turned around" thing, makes me imagine people revolving, like the figures on top of the musical box at the beginning of Trumpton, or it may have Camberwick Green?

Those speed signs that light up.
If you are going at 32 in a 30 zone they say slow down. BUT, if you are only going 29 they say nothing!!
Not - you are a totally amazing driver - not even thank you.
I think traffic signs should be more polite and appreciative of good driving??

Oh crisp packets, I can't abide the sound when people are eating out of a packet of crisps, I just hate the sound of the packet rustling lol....

nanaK54 Tue 21-Aug-18 21:18:32

I would ban "he/she turned round and said"
Also would like to see the end of those flippin' wooden furniture ads

Hello all, please can this be treated as a light hearted thread? smile

First to be tackled, scratchy labels in clothes, especially around the neck area!

Then, over use of the word "like", as in "so I was like really angry, but they were like, so you should like just chill"

TV advertisements for electric tooth brushes (go on, just see, almost every ad break on commercial television features one!)And

Open for your additions!
