(Have seen it three times today already.) Young mothers with forward facing pushchairs (or buggies as they're now commonly know) talking on their phones and engaging in ZERO interaction with their children. No wonder there are so many kids starting school now who have difficulty stringing a sentence together.

Surrey Phil Jun 2016 5:25pm, 3 Jun 2016 1,475 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I'm totally with you, z1000jeff. The child is more important than their friend on the phone - no excuse! 'Young' is usually the way too, and not just being non-maternal towards their child.

Diogenes Jun 2016 12:43pm, 7 Jun 2016 14,791 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes Yes. I have a similar reaction to the amount of questions you get in Subway and that is one of many reasons I avoid going in them if at all avoidable.
Duchess Jun 2016 12:49pm, 7 Jun 2016 6,882 posts	Quote Pin Duchess Similarly....being asked if I want milk with my Americano. If I wanted milky/white coffee I would have ordered it... coffee
