ROOM 101

DAVE ATTWOOD

THE AND LOCK TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND

1. Children littering

Littering is a stain on society, full stop. But it always feels worse when a child drops a sweet packet in front of their parents and isn't reprimanded. I always step in and say something, a bit like when someone swears out loud unnecessarily in public. I suppose I consider myself as something of a moral warrior. Now I've got kids myself I am happy to march up to people and tell them to watch their tongue.

TRP VERDICT: It's a great start for the new King Tut of the tut-tut Club.

2. Shoes for big people I had to have shoes specially made for me from the age of ten because my feet were always a size bigger than my age. Thankfully this stopped once I reached 14. It's bad enough having feet that big they enter the room a minute before the rest of your body, but this is made worse by the ludicrous designs. The people who make shoes must think, well they look ridiculous as it is so why not push the boat out and add a yellow stripe or two just to make them look even worse!

TRP VERDICT: We'll push the boat out and give you a second yes.

3. Airplane seats I've done a reasonable amount of flying in my time and being 6ft 7ins with long legs can make for an uncomfortable journey. Unless you fly business class, there simply isn't enough leg room and I end up with bruised knees. To add to this, the tray doesn't fold down properly, and the head rest is the wrong height. Ryanair are always bad, but I think the worst flight I ever had was coming back from visiting a friend in Bermuda. Those eight hours were savage.

TRP VERDICT: This clearly ain't no flight of fancy, you're in again.
