The purpose of the hard shoulder is to give a person in an emergency situation a reasonably safe place to stop on the miles of motorway. If it’s used for relieving congested traffic where the devil are those motorists going to go.

It’s also a fact that when something catches someone by surprise it is often a natural reaction to panick and not remember to carry out the simplest seeming of tasks such as looking over one’s shoulder to check that the Hard Shoulder is clear when it should be.

I’m not saying that that would happen all the time but at high speeds and in emergency situations, panick and nowhere to go can have deadly consequences – it’s surprising just how those with high salaries and warm offices who job it is to think up these ideas, usually forget to actually think 🙂 🙂 🙂 LOL 😀

Probably 😀 😀 😀

While we are on the topic, does anyone know of an organisation like the BMFA for RC Boats???

Yet another crazy idea from inside the minds of those who can afford several cars and huge houses.

It’s like my local council (Powys County Council) have decided to save money by turning off 2 out of 3 street lights in the whole county….I have 1 LIGHT working in my entire street which is situated in a very small car park with houses (including) mine blocking the light on 3 of it’s 4 sides. The result…Complete darkness.

I live only yards from this light but I cannot see my front gate despite actually receiving training in navigating at night etc.

My street (in a small village) is between 150 and 200 metres long and has only an area about 15 metres long and 10 metres wide lit.

An elderly lady near Brecon fell over her own front step (I think) and her face now looks like she jumped in front of a Boeing 747 near the end of it’s takeoff run….and hit it head first.

That was on the FIRST DAY of the blackout regulations. Most of those in my street are retired. If one of them fell over, no-one would be any the wiser.

I hope that woman sues them!!!

Sorry guy’s, off topic I know but saves me starting another thread 🙂 🙂 🙂

I gave up purchasing up-to-date equipment a long time ago…by the time I can afford it, it is already obsolete 😀 😀 😀 LOL 😀

I’m for it in some cases but I am just wondering that if it was legallised, how many cold blooded murderers would claim assisted suicide?

Damn good show!!!

I hope that he is back up here flying around in cyber-space with the rest of us before too long.

Ok…am rather :oed to be posting about this particular issue on an open forum, however, I am hoping to get some sensible advice on ‘do’s’ and ‘dont’s’ for a first date, and as to where I could/should take someone…cinema, restaurant, drink at the local…any suggestions?

Would be good to hear from any female forum members to know what you like/dislike most about a first date?

Apparently touching a womans knee on a first date is pretty bad….usually it’s a non-verbal sign that you want to get more serious….was on a TV programme I think.
