I WAS contacted by a radio station this week. They were running a phone in, offering people the opportunity to have a good moan and, for some reason, thought I would be a fertile source of
grumpiness. I seized the opportunity, of course, and banged on relentlessly about all the things that regular readers of this column will recognise – people who put on those rear fog lights when
there is a mere wisp of mist blinding everyone behind them, compensation-chasing legal firms that induce exaggerated insurance claims, litter, political correctness, the nanny state, the
disappearance of the words ‘please’ and ‘thank-you’ and parents who expect schools to take over their role of disciplining their children.
