10 mph brains doing 85.

Went to Alton Towers on the weekend, which is fun because you get to see jakers in their natural environment. The others being TKMax, Local Magistrate's Courts and of course the Pub Brawl and Wedding Punch Up. Rural Staffordshire was a sea of beer guts, white trainers and Croydon facelifts.

All in, a great day and I did have a right good laugh n that.

BUT…

Just where do you get off charging £4 for parking, given you are already stiffing everyone for 35 bar to get in and there is NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT. And you have to buy a bloody token to pay the parking man, because bizarrely, actual money is unsuitable.

That’s not the real issue though, no that would be the imbecilic motorists racking up the length of the trip home, through irritating thoughtless driving techniques.


"typical motorway scenes"

There was a recent government announcement, that on all motorways the inside lane would be lifted and moved to the right of the current outside lane thus providing extra driving space. Reports suggested it would not be missed, as no bugger ever used it.

Critics argued that motorists could simply all move left a bit into the vacant left hand lane, thus solving the problem. This was dismissed as a ridiculous concept that no-one would ever adopt. Plus as proved in the1998 study by Ricketts and Bletherwit, all German and Swedish cars cease to function if driven on the inside lane. They did add a footnote that it was possible the drivers were simply complete pricks. On that score the study was inconclusive, more data required.

Seriously, what is with you people? Why can no-one drive properly? I have taken to gratuitously undertaking. I like the inside lane, you can travel at the same speed or faster than the rest of the traffic, but with a 1.5 mile braking distance.

Get Left, or Get Rid of your car.
