RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - Jimmi - 04 Sep 2016 (04 Sep 2016, 1:08 am)GMitchelhill Bridge Cameras such as my Canon SX410 Powershot are just as good, it's just what you used to having used pocket digital cameras over the last few years, I'm impressed with my bridge camera, and it's compact enough for me. I find DSLR camera's too bulky. I'd say you can use whatever you want but typically I am less likely to look at photos taken on mobiles, iPad's etc partly because of the quality not being as good. The worst is people who take mobile shots in portrait, "that's nice, it's the pavement!" Can't stand people taking photos on iPad's but I partly put that down to one individual who I can't stand and nor can most people it seems, especially the time I tried photographing a Waggonway on a evening peak X21 and he got in the way with is baking tray. Worst was the time I was behind someone at a gig and they got a iPad out and started filming the bloody gig! RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - Charles41 - 04 Sep 2016 My big gripe today cash points. I intended going to NNRG running day. My plan was to catch the X70 from the Team Valley upto consent. I arrived at the Team Valley in good time after walking down from my dad's. Only to find the HSBC near the bus stop was out of use. I checked in the shops nearby, none of them did cash back . So I decided to hike upto Lobley Hill knowing there was a cash point at the Post Office. Made this with 3 minutes to spare. only to find this was out of use as well. Tried going into the shop next door but there was a massive queue. Next I tried to get the bus to Consett using my Nexus travel card to the Tyne & Wear boundary at Bryremoor and paying the rest from there to Consett. Unfortunately I was 85p short. No NNRG running day for me. I'm not a happy bunny. Charles RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - Jamie M - 04 Sep 2016 (04 Sep 2016, 11:11 am)Charles41 My big gripe today cash points.

Also Wetherspoons, which I find rather odd, but useful if you get stuck without cash. What's annoying you today? V4 - MrFozz - 05 Sep 2016 Not annoying but sad... Going to our lasses Granddads funeral this morning... Lets hope it passes without a hitch as half the family hate each other and her sister has a vendetta against me for some reason Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk RE: What's annoying you today?

Lloyds have a few machines at their branch on the middle of Kingsway. RE: What's annoying you today?

IIRC, that Sainsburys also has cashpoints (as do most of their big branches). Husband often uses them at one branch or other, so they're fine with HSBC. RE: What's annoying you today?

RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - NK53 TKT - 06 Sep 2016 I go back to school tomorrow What's annoying you today? V4 - Jimmi - 06 Sep 2016 Sick of people doing all these 'friend tests' on Facebook. Usually you have to do something like copy the text the person has written and re-post it on your wall or something like that, or comment under the post with either 'stay' or 'leave' Surprised I haven't lost any friends yet by not responding to these, although a fair few of these I see are people on my friends list responding to them.

RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - Charles41 - 07 Sep 2016 Today's gripe is PCL Travel. Travelled to Morpeth from Newcastle with a view to catching the 13.35 79 service over to Kingston Park via Scots Gap. Waited until 14.00 but the bus never turned up. It is still advertised at Morpeth Bus Station as running. It is also advertised on PCL Travel's website and is registered on VOSA. At 14.00 PCL Travel's Ford Transit turned up and dropped two old ladies off from Wallington Hall. I asked the driver what was happening. He stated that they have withdrawn the service as no-one uses it. This begs two questions, firstly why has none of the information been updated either on-line or at the bus station and secondly what were two old ladies doing on a bus service that does not seem to be advertised or registered? A complete shambles. Charles RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - NK53 TKT - 07 Sep 2016 (07 Sep 2016, 2:39 pm)Charles41 Today's gripe is PCL Travel. That has happened to me every time I try, the service is non existent RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - Brian13 - 07 Sep 2016 (07 Sep 2016, 8:16 pm)NK53 TKT That has happened to me every time I try, the service is non existent PCL Travel is the one company I try and avoid using What's annoying you today? V4 - TEN 6083 - 07 Sep 2016 Speaking of PCL, was waiting at Prudhoe station for the train to Sunderland. Saw their rural link dart come into Prudhoe Interchange and park up and the driver gets out and goes into the industrial estate bit next to Prudhoe Station. Was gonna get a photo of it while driver was gone but the train was due any minute so missed out. If he done that 10 minutes earlier I would've got one. Then I get to Sunderland as I wanted to trade in my Silver Milanese Loop for a black one at CeX for my Apple Watch, wait for it to be tested and come back and they check it and they realise the one they have is a fake one, bit of a waste of a trip, but they had some online so ordered one from there with the voucher I got from them for my genuine one.

I'm sure the 79 is a Council contract, therefore the operator can't withdraw it? |
