None seem to live round my way, where they think nothing of strolling across roads engrossed in their mobiles, or stuffing chips down their throats.
The road outside the local school has a 20mph limit even though it is almost impossible to achieve 20mph because parents dropping off their kids in the morning or parked up come home time block the narrow road and reduce it to one lane.
ReplyDeleteThen some insufferable git at Lancashire County Council decided to protect the little dears by imposing a blanket 20mph limit on my village more than a mile away.

Ah, another of the loony left that can't see the wood for the trees.
ReplyDeleteThese chip eating mobile phoners are ruining our Death Race 2014 competition. We support the loony left proposals to provide school buses. This would remove the doting mother traffic that prevents us reaching kill speeds and enable us to pick off stragglers with our advanced predatory driving techniques. And we'd all get to work on time.
