    Anything calling itself a pie that doesn’t fall within the(*) strict definitions of what a pie actually is.

    (*) ie. MY definitions.  Pastry all the way round unless pie is either a pudding (such as Lemon meringue, key lime, banoffee) or a Fish Pie, a Cottage Pie or a Shepherds Pie.

    Religion, then Rangers and Celtic.

    Agreed but can you imagine if that lot disappeared overnight? I don’t think the good citizens of New Cumnock would form a poetry group and take up gardening on a saturday afternoon.

    On a more serious note I reckon banning of gifts to political parties would do a lot to improve the workings of democracy.

    A wonderful, yet totally unworkable, idea.

    Ohh god yes – people who’ve moved to the middle of nowhere to ‘get away from it all’ only to find the ‘it all’ they were trying to get away from was them. They then get furious at everyone and everything around them for their happiness not happening. There’s a particularly fine example in Dundonnell and theres one absolute corker in Glen Ettive.

    Dog shit on pavements. Specifically people not picking up their dogs crap and leaving it for me to step on at night. Oh also dog shit in bags up a tree WTAF!

    cars
    – they kill and maim far too many people
    – they dictate the shape of, and dominate our landscapes
    – they make people lazy and fat
    – they and their industry are barriers to progression
    – they are too expensive to provide infrastructure for
    – people don’t realise quite how much their cars have power over them

    McDonald’s.

    They attract the worst of society, their packaging can be seen in pretty much every ditch and hedgerow in the land and encourage over consumption which leads to the obesity crisis we have in this country.

    I also struggle to resist them, which is making me lose weight at a lower rate than I want.

    I’m in one now 😊

    Social media, actual social media (not like here) where people post banalities or propaganda then wait for likes.
    It’s horribly bad for your mental health.

    Smoking. There is zero benefits to anyone who smokes and there is a constant pile of litter generated from it. Ban it, and ban it now.

    Private ownership of Newspaper

    So all newspapers must be owned by the state and therefore will be incentivised to support it and prop up the ruling party? Seems to be working well in Russia now that Putin has pretty much achieved that objective.

    Offices. Horrible places and the root of many of society’s ills such as transport/commuting/parking, bad backs/fatties, crappy lunches, Love Island and so on.

    Being sensible : Plastics. The fruit & veg aisle in every supermarket in the land has a small amount of unwrapped fruit & veg next to mountains upon mountains of the stuff wrapped in un-recyclable plastic.

    Being silly: people saying Legos for Lego

    Agreed, but for me if it meant losing STW I’d accept it.

    I think on balance it’s worth a ban, for the things it does to kids heads to the way it mines our data and then sells it to people who can use all sorts of shady shit to make us believe bullshit it’s doing more harm than good now.

    It could be policed better, but they won’t, it’s too good a toy for the powers that be for them to want to stop it – it’s the new Tabloid.

    Is it just me or do all supermarkets now only sell mushrooms in pre-packaged packs? I like them but no-one else does in our house but none of our local supermarkets had anything put the packs when I looked at the weekend – I only want three or four of the things!

    Wheeled suitcases. Especially now we have a 20kg weight limit on the majority of holiday flights. As a species are we really so ducking weedy that we are unable to carry 20kg a few dozen steps instead of dragging the bastard over the noisy stone floor of an airport? If you’re that bloody weak what the hell are you going to do when you get wherever you’re going other than laze around on a beach stuffing yourself silly with stuff that’s going to give you the shits and drink yourself stupid with the all-inclusive pishh the resortt is palming off as cocktails, whilst forgetting all common-sense and frying yourself into a sunburned sack of offal while your kids ruin everybody else’s holiday.

    Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and larger co-ops sell them loose, probably not the only ones.

    Fossil fuels, ban them now. And single use plastic which would by default happen from banning fossil fuels

    Sainsbury’s (and Asda) in Harrogate didn’t have any loose on Saturday. Shelves and shelves of pre-packed ones though – I was tempted to open a pack and just take what I wanted.
