    I agree Mike, I have said many times, when out on a Sunday drive, and stuck behind some old git of about 65 yrs of age doing 30 to 40 mph, and holding traffic up,

    I think that very often, they are just not aware of the danger (due to frustrating other drivers) they are causing.
    I managed to get my Dad to stop driving last year, he was 92yrs old. He failed a driving assessment miserably,
    but still wouldn’t admit that he did anything wrong. I was sitting in the back and he had me worried.

    We take most of our holidays in this country, and I am aware that although I am not in a rush to get anywhere,
    others maybe. So will pull into a layby to let vehicles pass, or slow down on a clear stretch of open road, to let vehicles
    overtake.

    I don’t know, but they do provide their own meat to feed the cats anyway so there’s no real need 😉

    Yes, unkind though it may seem, but my dear old mum, long since gone, stated during the War, the Salvation Army were first on the scene after a raid.

    My Dad says the same. They are one of the few organizations I donate to. We were at their Tea Rooms in Hadleigh today.

    My wife donates to “Scope” (which used to be the Spastics). They are always sending her letters asking for donations.

    Whilst we’re on the subject of driving this may get me accused of thread drift as it isn’t related to the op’s point. Are new drivers these days not taught to use the handbrake? Next time you are waiting behind other traffic a traffic lights/round about etc take a look at how many vehicles are being held on the foot brake. .

    Mostly the result of modern technology in cars. A lot of cars now have “stop start” built into them. So when you stop and
    put your foot on the brake, the engine automatically stops until you take your foot off.
    I have this on my Honda, although I do try to avoid using it in heavy traffic, as I know how annoying it can be.

    The problem with trucks driving along side by side for miles, is because they usually have their cruise control set, and
    don’t want to take it off.

    I hadn’t seen that. I wasn’t one of his greatest fans but he did have a unique voice.

    As for the Salvation Army, I’d rather give my money to an organisation based on helping people, not recruiting members and one that doesn’t condemn homosexuality.

    Are you suggesting that the Salvation Army don’t help people ?

    Footballers should be paid according to results.

    There would be a few destitute players about if they were.

    The assumption being made, is that everyone has access to the Internet.

    The first (new) series of Doctor Who on DVD.

    Watching that shows just how awful it has become since Eccleston’s departure.

    The fact that all signs of Christmas in Sainsbury’s stores disappears on Boxing Day, speaks volumes for me.
    You wouldn’t have thought that Christmas had happened. (not that I shop on Boxing day).

    They are now geared up for Easter, with a break for Valentines day in February.

    Interesting to see how it works.
