Proper English S2 E39: Annoying, Irritating and Irksome

This week we're talking about all the different words, phrases and idioms we have in English describe things or people that we find annoying. We use quite a few in this episode! And those two little old ladies, Mabel and Sylvia are back illustrating the Idiom of the Week - in the aftermath of the Parish Council elections, which one of them was 'beside themselves with rage', do you think?
