First world problems eh? ;-)

They're Irish this lot Gav.

If I rocked up on a playing field doing the same, watch me get arrested. Double standards and all that.

Noticed in the paper this morning that they've been moved on, now taken up residence in Ozzy.

Just takes time to get a court order, frustarting for the people beining impacted upon but thats the law.

thought TJ would have been round and put them up at his gaffe.

Aye, apparently there's an emergency work order been put through to get the fence extended all the way around the field to stop vehicles going on in future. My mum has been on to the local councillor, and she was saying the cost of the clean up operation was £2,400!! I bet if you or I had done the same we'd have been leaving the scene in handcuffs.....

[ABBEY]

should send TJ round. He would clean up for free he likes the pikeys.

This TJ sounds like a nice friendly guy, you must a have a bit of a man crush on him as you do seem to mention him an awful lot.

[Al]

I think it's more that TJ is a man that Abbey would like to crush.

People who stop their car in box junctions

[T J Hooker]

People that don't understand the simple concept of giving way to the right at mini roundabous

[Biddy]

Adding to the driving theme, people who do not stop at all when there is a parked car on their side of the road and blatantly not enough room for 3 cars.

Converse to that, idiots coming the other way who don't have the common curtsey to move slightly over towards the kerb to let traffic through when there is enough space.

Basically, any drivers but me.

[Gav]

I've give over letting people out of side streets and giving way when I don't have to because the roads are now full of ignorant people that think its more important to get where they're going than to acknowlege simple acts of kindness on the road.

I must admit in my experience it tends to be women more than men.

.

And add to that the people that don't have enough spacial awareness to realise there is still room for to cars to get through, so they stop and wait for you to come through the give you the @#/? eye.(and despite the theory its actually men just as much as women iny experiance

NO WONDER YOU DONT GIVE WAY

[K-Hod]

I think absent-mindedness on the road in general is an annoyance. I wonder how a lot of people pass their driving test.

Agree, I had to mount a kerb to give way to an oncoming car this morning (very tight road so not really an issue) but the woman just blanked me and carried on. #@~%$!!!!

[Audax]

I really do hate those who text or even merely talk on the phone while driving, I'm more for them upping the number of ads about this. I was in a car with someone who was on the phone. Bloody absent minded they were.

If you've got the bluetooth car kit it isn't too bad, but texting and driving is mental.

[Gav]

Now that's funny!

[Mike Graham]

Those pillocks on the motorway who, on approaching a junction, cut in at the last minute from the outside or middle lane. They deserve to be in an accident; the trouble is they would involve others instead.

I am going to get one of those dashboard cameras and make a film of driving standards in Blackburn. It would make a fortune.

[ABBEY]

Pixel my reg pal

I find it OK as a rule but it becomes more difficult if I'm trying to eat a sandwich at the same time

Whose that in Gavs car? Has he nicked it?
