The advert saying you can 'save up to half price' give me the rage. You can save up to half, or it's half price surely?

3AM in the morning give me the rage every time!

dun1urkin · 16/11/2015 23:07

self I always thought that the next station stop thing was for muppetitious folk who got confused by 1) the train stopping when it's not at a station or 2) the train not stopping at the next station Grin

3AM in the morning give me the rage every time!

Yes! It's a line in a song from the 70s, every time I hear it I get the rage too.

Why are there two errors in this abbreviation? Grrrr....

They're either 'free' or 'for ££'.

At the end of a flight and you're told not to get up from you seat until the plane has come "to a complete stop". Either it is stationary or it is not ...
