are you 18 as well?! Alasdair Clearly, Alasdair suffers from some form of numerical dyslexia where he puts the numbers the wrong way around... :twisted: Ahh my apologies, I hadn't realised that you were both 81 - was the recent test you took that medical one where you have to retake it due to old a...

Nah, I'm out. I'd rather sit behind the cyclists for the whole of that double white line section than attempt to overtake, risking a massive head on which could even cause injury to the cyclists, just so some people behind me won't be annoyed by me not overtaking the cyclists.

I seem to have a knack for seeing impending doom. I was following a car on a fairly big main road 30 limit the other day, and he started to ...

You might have to explore new routes off to the right and try and pretend it was deliberate :) Alasdair It's an art, making mistakes seem genuine. Trust me, I'm skilled in making mistakes. ;) What, like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qYdK0_uWzU Nigel. Um... Some questions are best left unan...
