2. Authors who put themselves in their own stories!
Down the trapdoor with Mr Ollie Patbotham then, though how much he is the other me who doesn't write spanking stories I'm not sure.
Other pet hates:
The smell of barbeques to which I am not invited (I love the smell of barbeques to which I
am invited)
Ladies who wear thin, tight fitting trousers which show off their bottoms to perfection
unless they have a nice bottom (which, to be fair, is almost all women).
Customers who tell me exactly how to do the job for which they have paid for my professional skills.
Doing sit ups. (can't do 'em)
And as for the greengrocer's apostrophe... Incidentally Terry Pratchett has a greengrocer as a minor character in
Making Money, who put's apo'strophe's before every 's in hi's 'speech.

"Don't do it to me, do it to Miss Thrashbottom!"
Is there an element of Brer Rabbit there?
