Officer Crabtree was the Policeman with very poor knowledge of the french language in the highly amusing BBC comedy series "Allo Allo".

C'mon lads, catch up !!!!!!!

Another gripe to share, folks!

I went into a Post Office today to buy a couple of jiffy bags. The queue was fairly long, but at least it was moving.

One woman, who had two kids that were running riot throughout the shop, decided that she would buy a jiffy bag and then package up and address what she wanted to post there and then! She decided to do this whilst leaning on the weighing scales, and this then decided to break! All the while her two kids were trashing the place.

The lady at the counter asked the woman to move to one side whilst she continued to package her items. She refused, and the queue got even longer all the while everyone got more irate with her.

There were only two people serving, which didn't really help matters but this woman didn't help much at all.

I am still very annoyed by it all!  Off on a rant
