Pillock of teh week award to teh driver of the red estate car number
plate F460 VMS. As he came up behind me he started sounding his horn, and he left it on solidly as he sat behind, went past, and got some way down the road. Not discrete tooting, just put his hand on teh button and left it tehre in a continuous blare. Offensive git of the decade award to whatever imbecilic moron came up with teh junk spam in my mailbox this morning advertising personal breathalysers under the headline "don't be a victim of drunk driving". I vote we hit him/her with a couple of tons of steel at 110 mph and then ask them if they still consider the driver to be the victim of the incident. I thought spammers were pretty low, but this is really scraping the barrel evcen by spammers standards.

Probably just traded in his old banger for a new one, and was trying to operate the windscreen wash but the wash/horn were on the other stalk. |

Pillock of teh week award to teh driver of the red estate car number
plate F460 VMS. I find that on my cycle ride into town & back, there's "the regulars" who pass by me too close. So far, I've got a partial registration number of a brown Sierra and there's a cement mixer with an obscured rear number plate that does the same. In addition, the drivers of the X94 (First) bus service seem to think that driving a huge bus six inches from the side of my shoulder is acceptable. On the plus side, I find the drivers of HGVs belonging to the firm Jack Richards & Sons at Fakenham are true knights of the road - they *always* treat me with courtesy. Plus the little local Konect buses that do the lanes round my bit of Norfolk are usually very courteous.

transport manager with instructions to let the boys know how much you appreciate their exemplary driving and what a pleasure it is to share the road with them. I've already written a Nice Letter [TM] to said company and I am reliably informed by one of the drivers that it is on the drivers' noticeboard, where apparently, it made their day :-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove dependency on fame & fortune h*$el*$$e**nd***$o$ts***i*$*$m**m$$o*n**s@$*$a$$o* *l.c**$*$om$$ |

Much more effective!!
T I honestly believe a bit of "sugar" is more effective than too much "bitter", in that if I've cause to complain, I will, but I do think that means that where I've been shown courtesy, a pleasant "thank you, I appreciate it" can go a long way to at least helping the good stuff is done again.

At £5.70 an hour (they're ALWAYS recruiting) they're not going to get trained Rolls-Royce chauffeurs though. |
