A shotgun facing aft and mounted on the boot lid usually works laugh

Unkindness, unfriendliness and plain bad manners.
Litter, I can’t understand why it still happens.
Needless signage, high vis, safety clutter, it’s all an ugly mess, can no one think for themselves nowadays?

1. Only being allowed three.
2. The development of it's-about-me culture
3. The assumption that the UK remains a dominant country in the world and should not be a lot more worried about the next 20 years than it seems to be (the people not the politicians as we cannot rely on them to actually look ahead beyond the next tweet and clinic session.

How many more am I allowed?

Why is it that on the news we frequently see someone in a field miles from anywhere wearing a hard hat? Meteorite threat perhaps? confused

Well we are just coming to the Leonidies meteor shower over the next few days - from the Tempel Tuttle asteroid.

And me, but I just blame auto-fill.

Seriously though, I’d quite like to be corrected, feel free to do so as and when necessary on any of my posts.
When composing an email at work, I always try to use spellcheck, it gives a little warm feeling of achievement when there are no errors laugh2

I'm with Ewn on the cluttered often multiple road signage, very distracting when driving!

Richmond upon Thames blanket 20 mph limit, replacing the previous 30, even on main A roads.

My final moan, would be the To**@£s who use their mobiles whilst driving, when their vehicle obviously has handsfree available.
