Look closely, Dick.
Already in my short list.

Do you think these self service checkouts are here to stay, or will they go back to using staff?

I would not mind that if it worked. It really gets me just how prone to malfunction they are and the stupid voice message at the end saying, "Thank you for using the fast lane" when it is anything but. I was appalled at our local ASDA the other evening when, with a roughly £80 trolley I was told there were no manned checkouts after 22:30. Had I not spent a fair amount of time loading the trolley and some of the stuff was needed I would have just dumped trolley and told staff what I was doing.
 
Mobile phones at the dinner table.

Mobile phones, period, or to be more specific, mobile phone users. Use when driving is rightly illegal. But it should also be illegal to walk when using one. Buffoons on the move might have their eyes open but they are patently totally blind!

And they encourage appalling English!
