Who wants to do away with bagging areas in supermarkets? Which candidate thinks raisin cookies should be banned? Who detests mild curries? And who wants mass-produced beer consigned to history?

These and other bugbears, including narrow parking spaces, socks with sandals and spring-loaded letterboxes, are set out below...

Barrow and Furness

Rob O'Hara (Green Party)
1. Tony Blair – because he probably won’t be prosecuted, so this is the next best thing.
2. Personal computers – yes, I know we can’t live without them but I’m sure that life was so much better before we all had them (spoken as someone in his sixties, who uses computers constantly).
3. Nuclear weapons – that’s where they belong.

Simon Fell (Conservative)
1. Jeremy Corbyn - he’s a student politician who’s been on the wrong side of history since the 70s and would be the death of Barrow.
2. Remakes of classic films - they're classic for a reason!
3. Babybel - they should be great, but I can’t stand them.

Loraine Birchall (Lib Dem)
1. Socks with sandals - do I need to explain why?
2. Indiscriminate use of the word 'like' It was, like, so hot today. No, it was hot today. It wasn't 'like' hot, it was hot.
3. Graffiti. I don't mind decorative graffiti when it enhances or adds to an area to make it unique or different, some of the tags and graffiti I've seen are works of art. Banksy makes political statements and questions the status quo while producing work in his own style. But when it is there to deface something, I think it's pointless. Why not build something, do something positive with all that creative energy instead of destroying the work of others? Have some ambition.

Alan Piper (Ukip)
1. Average speed cameras
2. Corbyn
3. IPSO (re Leveson etc)
We'd all be better off without them.

John Woodcock (Labour)
1. People who don't indicate at the Cornerstone Park roundabout. It's like, "well I know where I'm going, so why do I have to tell you?" Oh it drives me mad. Just indicate: it's not hard.
2. Furbies (those kids' toys that respond when you talk to them, for those blissfully unaware. The new variety even talk to each other). I mean, for goodness' sake. Why don't they shut up? One false move and they're off chattering away.
3. Seagulls, obviously. All well and good in their natural habitat and they've got plenty of that on the South Walney nature reserve. But not terrorising the town centre. It's unhealthy for them to eat junk food and a nightmare for everyone else.

Carlisle

Fiona Mills (Ukip)
1. People sitting in vehicles with the engine running. This is so annoying especially at night if you are trying to sleep. Please switch the engine off, it will save fuel and cut noise pollution.
2. Air ‘fresheners’. This has to be one of the biggest oxymorons ever. Synthetic air fresheners smell awful, interfere with people’s breathing and the chemical ingredients are harmful to health. Please use natural products or open a window instead.
3. The waste incinerator planned for North Carlisle. I cannot understand why the council would approve such a health and pollution hazard right next to residential areas, schools, shops and a nature reserve. We can do without toxic, cancer-causing emissions and 100 HGVs per day on our roads, thank you.

Ruth Alcroft (Labour)
1. Counting sheep. Not the helping-you-to-go-to-sleep kind of counting sheep but actually trying to count sheep in a field at the farm. Try it; it'll drive you mad.
2. The unidentified green vegetable in hot and sour soup. I adore Chinese food but what is that green stuff?
3. Grey hair. You think this is natural? Grey hairs should go into Room 101!

John Stevenson (Conservative)
1. Mobile phones at the dinner table – We seem to be losing the art of conversation. I am always amazed at the number of restaurants - or even at home - where mobile phones are being used during meals.
2. Unnecessary PowerPoint presentations – These are now so out of date. What always irritates me is quite often the technology doesn’t work and even when it does the person making the presentation just reads what is actually on the PowerPoint presentation anyway!
3. Cynicism in politics – I believe that politics is about sharing ideas and debating policies. Life is not black and white and politics is not a game to be “won”. Politics is about people’s lives and futures and I do think that this is sometimes forgotten.

Peter Thornton (Lib Dem)
1. The “Right to Buy" without providing replacement houses. This Thatcherite policy has led to our young people having to live in cramped and expensive accommodation and helped to create a situation where homelessness is on the increase and virtually no-one under 40 can afford to buy a home.
2. Letter boxes with spring flaps, guarded by dogs. Do I have to explain this one? If so, just try delivering some of my leaflets!
3. Snap elections in the Summer! Seriously, we should follow the example of local councils and the USA and have fixed term parliaments without any loopholes.

Copeland

Rebecca Hanson (Lib Dem)
That’s easy. Michael Gove, Liz Truss and Nick Gibb. They have rained havoc on state education and are directly responsible for the worst aspects of our current curriculum and exam changes.
The secondary school problems centred around Whitehaven are a direct consequences of their actions.
When people tried to explain what the consequences of their actions would be they shut down all consultation and systematically discredited experts in education (i.e. people with experience across different types of school and different stages of education) as being ignorant and self interested.
Then they deliberately shut down the places in education where such people can work.
The strapline that they were giving education back to the people was one of the Tories many falsehoods. As has been clearly demonstrated in Whitehaven, they’ve actually concentrated all power and decisions in government hands so they can pursue their own interest with no regard for the consequences of doing so.

Trudy Harrison (Conservative)
1. Canned laughter in TV programmes would have to be banished to Room 101 – half the time the shows aren’t funny anyway, so being told when to find something amusing ruins it for me. I turn off any show which features canned laughter.
2. Headphones that play music really loud in public places, especially on trains, is a big no no for me and would be thrown straight into Room 101. Nobody wants to have to listen to and hear word for word what somebody else is listening to on a three-hour train journey.
3. Delayed and late trains would also have to be banished. Half the time you don’t even know your train is going to be delayed until it is due to arrive; extremely annoying and inconvenient.

Herbie Crossman (Ukip)
The Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative manifestos

Gillian Troughton (Labour)
1. Selfie sticks – especially if they are left attached to a mobile phone when it is in use as a phone!
2. Litter from takeaways – it’s a blight on our countryside alongside roads and in hedgerows. I’ve noticed while driving around that McDonald’s cartons are jettisoned from cars at Rosehill whereas Domino’s Pizzas take longer to consume, so the boxes are flung out at Pica!
3. Racism – I’ve been a campaigner against racism and hatred for a long time and I want to see a world free from all forms of racism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

Penrith and The Border

Jonathan Davies (Independent)
1. House of Commons. It's embarrassing watching the often childish bickering across the floor. MP's are there to do a job so much time is wasted. Can you imagine acting like that in any other job you would be out on your ear. It needs modernized.
2. Northern Powerhouse. It has been a lot of hot air and very little action. We have had quotes that it will re-balance power and prosperity, connect the North and create jobs. It's not delivering and has never really included Cumbria in the big plan.
3. Donald Trump. Very little to say other than what possible reason could there be not to put him in room 101?

Doug Lawson (Green)
1. "Bagging areas" - they have one job, how can an item be unexpected? Actually I'd like to get rid of self-checkouts. They're contributing to loneliness and social isolation - shopping should be social.
2. Plastic - It's a toxic timebomb. Especially single-use items. We need to find another way to package items, we can't keep putting 12 tonnes of the stuff into the world's oceans, every year.
3. Narrow parking spaces - it's just stealth fat-shaming. If you can't stand and twist in a 6-inch wide gap you have to take your kids shopping just to be able to get a wider parent and child space. No one should be forced to shop with their children.

Rory Stewart (Conservative)
1. Newspaper questionnaires.
2. So-called telephone “helplines” – particularly ones that insist, robotically, that if you repeat yourself they will understand what you want.
3. Facebook and Twitter trolls. I find as a politician, that it is enough to post a picture of myself eating fish and chips to provoke a torrent of public insinuation and abuse from people who never seem to imagine what it feels like to be on the receiving end.

Kerryanne Wilde (Ukip)
1. Tim Farron - for not having a backbone on protecting our country.
2. Jeremy Corbyn - for his links with the IRA and getting into bed with a terrorist.
3. Theresa May - for continually hitting our poor and vulnerable and causing more poverty while the richer in society continue to prosper!

Lola McEvoy (Labour) - declined to take part
Neil Hughes (Lib Dem) - declined to take part

Westmorland and Lonsdale

Eli Aldridge (Labour)
1. Anyone who eats with their mouth open. I can’t stand the sight of someone else's dinner being chewed up and swallowed down, I don’t need to see it and you certainly don’t need to show me.
2. Grammar Schools. They’re a backwards, regressive education system and I think it is preposterous that the Conservatives plan on bringing them back. The idea of telling children age 11 that they aren’t smart enough is damaging and just plain wrong in my view.
3. Raisin cookies in Room 101. Nothing comes close to the disappointment of biting into a biscuit you believe to be filled with chocolate chips, only for your hopes to be dashed by a little shrivelled raisin. Foul.

Tim Farron (Lib Dem)
1. Venkys, the owners of Blackburn Rovers - they have caused immense destruction since they took over the club a few years ago. I don't mind the club having no money any more but I do mind it being run by people who just don't care about the club
2. Mass-produced beer – there are so many fantastic small breweries producing great local beer, with a number of excellent ones here on our doorstep in the Lake District.
3. Starbucks

James Airey (Conservative)
1. Fish fingers - I used to love demolishing a fish finger sandwich but lately I have gone off them a bit!
2. Boy racers - Annoying, loud, unnecessary and often dangerous
3. EU Referendums - One is enough; the people have spoken

Mr Fishfinger (Finndependent) - declined to take part

Workington

Clark Vasey (Conservative)
1. Mild curry - Never seen the point of a mild curry, it's got to be a Madras or hotter. The Maryport Tandoori do a cracking Madras
2. Remakes of classic movies - There is just no reason to mess with a classic.
3. Jeremy Corbyn's policies - had to slip a political one in, but in room 101 Corbyn couldn't cost Cumbria jobs.

Sue Hayman (Labour)
1. Rice pudding – I just hate the stuff!
2. The Success Regime – we need to ditch this assault on our local health services and retain the delivery of high quality healthcare as close to people’s homes as possible.
3. Littering – we live in the most beautiful place – why would people want to litter? It’s incredibly selfish to litter or to let your dog foul without cleaning up after it. We need to respect the beauty of our area and our communities.

Roy Ivinson (Independent)
1. Tomato sauce - I don't like it
2. Cities - I'm not a city person
3. Sport - I find sport an utterly pointless activity. We did sport on a Monday afternoon at school and I used to think they couldn't think about something better to make us do.

George Kemp (Ukip)
I can't stand shovels, I can't stand picks and I can't stand walking sticks

Phill Roberts (Lib Dem)
1. First past the post voting system. We need a better politics and voting system where all votes count so that all in our communities can have confidence in the voting system and feel that their vote can make a difference.
2. An unelected House of Lords. The House of Lords is losing its credibility as a second chamber and needs to be reformed with a proper democratic mandate.
3. Sweet drinks. Because they have a disastrous impact on children’s health, either contributing to child tooth decay or contributing to poor diets.
