... so not hugely necessary. But say you eat a pizza at a restaurant and you can't quite finish it all. Rather than a full-sized pizza box, can you please give me a half-sized one that I can fit in my handbag please?*

*only applies to more mainstream restaurants, I know that kebab/chicken places will jam anything into a small polystyrene/single use plastic container.

Just a little thing to make the world turn more easily. Also although I get the kids' menu and the discount, can we all please order smaller portions if we wish? Ta!

I try to hard-boil my eggs most of the time, but sometimes, if I'm out and about and I need a bit of sustenance I will buy some hard-boiled eggs. I think they should come with a little packet of salt attached to the side of them.

If cafes would give you a glass of water along with your hot drink like they do in some European countries.

I would like the world to stop using words like privilege and racism at every freakin opportunity. It makes me absolutely insane to see these two words thrown around, constantly, with no rhyme or reason.

Just the small things.

Couldn't agree more.

Absolutely 😂😂😂

I could imagine the lips pursing and the stern shake of the head.

(I meant to quote the '10/10. Top mumsnetting' comment from @didntlikeanyofthesuggestions )

If I shop in store and I have a loyalty card, please can my receipt be available in your app or my online account? (Thank you Lidl, Morrisons and M&S for already doing this)

(actually I think M&S might just email the receipt?)
