	ANY OBVIOUS Tattoos piercings... " For sure" instead of Certain/ly local radio news traffic announcement presenters that race through their statement and then at the end say something like "If you spot a queue and its safe and legal to do so, call us on xxxxxxxxx "(garbled telephone number) or speak in a up n down sing song voice...and then speak into their chests...

	Parents with babies or young children in pushchairs on public transport, who park them in the allotted space then spend ALL the journey on the phone. No interaction at all.

	TV/film credits that scroll up so fast that you would need to read at 5,000 words a minute to be able to read them. People (mainly middle aged/elderly ladies) who throw themselves on top of our trainee assistance dog puppies shouting " I MUST give him/her a cuddle" despite the puppy wearing a brightly coloured jacket saying "In Training. Do Not Distract".

	I agree with the "What you want to do is...." people too, Rose. :-( Added to that, I can't stand condescension, or liars. Having said that - liars have to have a darned good memory - unfortunately for them, few do :-D

	"Having said that!" "Clearly" when it is only apparently clear to the person making the statement

	Don't you like 'having said that', Bob? :-P I was contrasting what I'd said about liars - they may lie, but have to have a good memory, which few have :-D :-D :-D :-D I suppose I could have said 'However'. ;-)
