Submitting a complaint as a Swiss about your mealtime terminology

So you guys really just use the word lunch and dinner liberally to mean any meal of the day? As a Swiss, that's savagery. How am I supposed to know if you're meeting me at 12or 6pm?

English Breakfast? Are you planning on eating ANYTHING for the rest of the day? I am full!

Also Tea time, seriously? It involves 3% tea and 97% Heavy Duty food.

Btw I am married to a Brit and this is in no way meant to be taken seriously.

BHF wouldn’t take my old sofa because the “safety” label, glued on by Argos, was loose.

Even though the label clearly says it’s for a ‘charcoal 3-seat sofa’, the BHF mover looked me straight in the eyes and said ‘that label could be from anything’.

They also wouldn’t take a perfectly good armchair with fully attached labels because it wasn’t on their list.

So they burned a bunch of diesel in their lorry during an energy crisis to go away empty-handed instead of collecting perfectly good furniture to sell for their charitable purposes.

Absolute clown show.

Elderly people must be quietly seething that people are out and about, going to supermarkets on a Monday afternoon.

This is supposed to a comment on how people complain about elderly people food shopping on a Saturday when they have all week to do it.

I've just found out that the very secluded toilet in the basement at my work that I use for number twos, is used by quite a few other people.
