Back seat Drivers!!

[joan w]

My Husband sulked on Sunday, as I was driving back from Southport.
On a 40mph road, a young lad aged about 17, was strolling across the road, with a box of groceries.
He was walking as though he was having a leisurely walk in the park - so I HONKED the silly sod.

His groceries shot up in the air, and he looked surprised.???

Apparently I should have just slowed down, and kept my HONK to myself.


On arriving home, 2 kids were stood on top of my drive, which I have to drive over the pavement to get to - so I HONKED them aswell.

I got The Two Fingered Salute for my trouble, but it was worth it to see them jump and Mr Joanie look embarrassed.

I had a puncture today - nail in back-left tyre. Will also shortly need a set of fronts for my Scirocco - £155 each!

£155 each Swami - thats expensive.
I think mine are about £80 each - at least I hope thats all they are.

[Swami]

I have priced around - getting same tyres for £101 each!

Good.
Motoring is getting so over-priced.
£1.39 a Litre I was charged today for Petrol - the robbing gits.

[Swami]

Yes, fuel prices have crept up again and no-one seems to be saying much about it.

I may have to invest in a Pushbike soon.

And I'm annoyed at just re-newing my Road Tax, and the state of our pot-holed roads here, is outrageous.

Ignore me Swami......i'm having a good old gripe!!

It's a ludicrous catch twenty two situation.

The train operators want to price people off the trains into their cars because they say the rail network is ill equipped to cope with existing commuter numbers whilst the Government are trying to price people off the roads onto public transport.

It makes no sense to me at all.

I believe the Government are also considering privatising some of the roads so soon you'll also be paying a toll for the privilege of being stuck in traffic

Unfortunately I'm too far away to offer a lift!

We could invest in a Tandem!!!
I want the back seat though, I'd want to know you were doing your share of the pedalling.

Or one of those three-wheeled vehicles they have in India?

[Swami]

No, aren't they called tuk-tuks?

Swami

[joan w]

What-whats?

Never heard of them Swami.
Have you got a pic??

[Swami]

Try googling for them!

Swami

[joan w]

Aaaah the things that look like old milk-floats.

Could we pimp them up a bit?

That could be a good idea, maybe a niche market.

Mr Joanie may have a point about my driving.
Its Bin Day today, and as per usual, the binmen left my Wheeliebin smack in the middle of my drive.........I drove into it!!!


No damage thank goodness.

The binmen here have a terrible habit of just scattering the bins across the road.

The binmen leave our bins where they found them here in East Anglia.
