Nature fights back

How long is is it going to take the ivy to cover up this ugly gaffiti tag in Haydon Wick, Swindon?
The police are spending a lot of time rounding up the taggers in the town but what is the points what will the courts give as a penalty? No doubt it will not repay the community for the cost of the clean up.

Especially as reported in todays Adver you can steal and crash a car from your employer and drive it without insurance just be given 6 points and 60 pound court costs.

For driving at 35mph along a 30mph you automatically get £60 fine and 3 points justice I don't think so!!

Driving without insurance is costing us all a fortune, what if his driving had damaged a person for life they would not get compensated. The message is don't pay out hundreds in insurance each year, take the chance and get 6 points on your licence!

Coincidence

I have just had my new Ford Focus delivered and Zoe noticed that the registration letters are SZL
which could stand for Sian, Zoe & Laura / Linda 4 of the ladies connected with our family. (idbi) Sorry Megan!

A bee in my Bonnet

My Mondeo had a repair last autumn by Spraymaster who fitted a new bumper. This was fine for a few months but recently the paint has peeled off and blistered in places so I took it back to complain and ask for it to be redone. They agreed to repair the damage but I felt reluctantly especially as I asked for a courtesy car for the 3 days it would take.

They had the last laugh as the car they lent me was a yellow mini with bees all over it. (idbi)

Motorway experiences

What's with the matrix signs saying messages like junction 20, 15 minutes is this to entice you to go at break neck speed to prove the sign wrong?, they then put up a 5 mile set of cones does the original 15 minutes include going at 40 MPH for 5 miles? Do they have camera's on the next stretch of road?

Should the Matrix signs be sponsored i.e. Take a Break Tiredness kills, Kit Kat,
"Jam Ahead" buy relaxing CD's at Virgin.


As mentioned at lunch do any of us like stopping at service area' expensive food drink & petrol, then you have to overtake all the lorries you have just worked your way past for the last 20 miles.

Green motorways, should we have alongside all motorways evergreen bushes converting the CO2 into Oxygen?

What else is could change our motorways?

Shocking at Asda

As part of Linda's recovery I took her shopping at Asda in one of their generators (wheelchairs) and every time I picked an item from the sheft I got a large static shock I reckon it was generated from the chair. Linda din believe me so wheeled her self around and picked an item off the shelf and yes you've guessed it she too got a shock.

After checking out we went to return the chair and retrieve Linda's stick and the security man had put the shutters down trapping the umbrella stand with Linda's stick in it between the shutter and the window. The assistant was so shocked to find that had happened and she did n't have a key to release it we had to back the next day idbi. Linda was given a voucher as an apology.
