Numpties in curtain side lorries who ignore restricted height bridge signs, stop just before it and then just reverse ignoring the blaring horn behind them and so this:

Had lots of mirrors. Driver must have thought they were there for him to do his hair. Damage was caused by the fold under rear tail lift. 2006 TdV6 HSE.

Watching a documentary on a commercial channel & when the prog resumes after the adverts they feel the need to remind us what we'd watched before the ads. Why? Do they they think our memory span is that short, or perhaps the previous part was so boring that we'd dismissed it.never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly

Sounds like the period from Easter to the October School holiday on the A83/A82
Even more interesting when the Chinese et al , just stop on the carriageway, get out and take photographs of Ben Lomond and also the view from the Rest & Be Thankful

The lycra clad Twunk riding with his mate on the other side of an A road who thought it would be a good idea to try and knock me off my bike on Monday by sticking his arm out as I overtook a car on my side of the road at 60mph. If we had made contact I dread to think what wold have been the result. Kin self obsessed Twunks

The jokers at CrossCountry Trains who decide that 07:05 from Wilnecote (and a bit earlier than that from Derby, Burton and Tamworth) only needs two carriages. Even today it was standing room only in pleb class, before about 80 people tried to get on Rob Smith

Classic FM repeating depressing adverts over and over again. Can’t they give us a variety now and again of humorous / light hearted ones.Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.
