Do you ever swear at Alexa? I do when she starts giving some particularly inane answer to a question. Ask anything beyond the utterly mundane and she fails. I'm not sure I even trust her answers to my most frequent question which is what is the time.

I never swear at her.. She is only doing her job and I wouldn't want her to cry..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

She's good at farting, though.  A very productive expert in fact.
She has a very extensive repertoire.

She does good cat meowing too.

My Alexa is an Aussie, she knows more swear words than me.

Dustman who can't put the bin back where they got it, instead it was left in the middle of the drive and I couldn't get the car back in.  :angry:
Had to leave the car out on the main road to move it, luckily no other cars came along and wolloped into mine.

Totally agree, Raven,  and have said exactly the same.    Mine usually ends up outside my neighbours property,  or even further away on some occasions.

Why do they do it?  Is it they can't be bothered, or do they really forget which house it came from?

Yes, they're lazy buggers, certainly compared to the ones I remember wen ah wer a lad, who had to carry the metal dustbins on their backs.

Ours are usually left in a sensible place, although occasionally outside the next house down the road.  On the other hand, you can guarantee there will be bits and pieces left on the pavement; too much trouble to pick up what they've dropped.

People who fly the EU flag on their car.  I saw one today, in fact I let him through that was before I saw the flag !

klondike

Not seen an EU flag here but there have been plenty I didn't recognise.

Plenty of 'Palestine' flags paraded around London lately!
Actually, as far as I know there is actually no country officially named 'Palestine'.
