Return of the prodigal

[Ldr]

Batteries recharged, temper calmed down.

Apologies to you all for previous snappiness

really I must have missed it .

No worries Ldr. There's a lot of it about.

Just driving to work this morning. There's a traffic light controlled crossroads. I'm going straight on. The road beyond the lights had a pelican crossing with heavy traffic after that. I rolled up to the pelican crossing and the road ahead wasn't clear, so I stayed on the approach side of it. Pelican crossing light went green and a young woman with a pushchair crossed. At which point the driver behind me starts hammering their horn flashing their lights and making gestures to me.

As we moved off, the car behind pulled out and came up level with me. There's an old woman driving looking over at me screaming something, and a bloke about 70 in the passenger seat giving me the rods.

I wound the window down and asked them if they preferred life in the 1960s but I don't think they heard me.

I bet they voted Leave though...

Love you too Sydney

Yorkshire is top of the league for road rage. In my experience I would agree with that. Some angry people around here. Generally they seem to be around thirty years of age, drive vans, wear vests and have lots of tattoos.

Try driving in Bradford. It seems to get worse every week. It's amazing how many times two or three cars go through after the lights have changed. Bus lanes and driving on the pavements are another couple of favourite pastimes around here. The bad weather seems to have calmed the morons on quad bikes and trials bikes in their balaclavas.

My Mrs originates from Undercliffe so I know exactly where you're coming from. We had enough of it and left around twenty years ago. I can only imagine it's a lot worse now. You have my sympathy.

I've got past the stage where anything that I see here surprises me any more.
