I\'m exactly the same about use of indicators/trafficators... i judge non use to be a sign of ignorance or laziness.
Half baked use lies somewhere in-between.... i.e. those who, on roundabouts, only indicate right even when they are exiting moving left.
Worst of all are the total witless ones who indicate one way and move the other.
Oh for thousands of petty minded traffic police on duty who could pull them over and do something corporal.

THANKS UNCLE ANDY : For a very moving SONG and equally sad comment about Manners & Respect. Thins are better in Auckland but of course we have 15 times more space in NZ and it provides for a more Grcious & Gentler atmosphere ! Love Streets of London and the interview at the end with Ralph is very moving. Pleased you sing it with your Choir : no doubt to a well housed audience ! It is extimated that there are almost 1000 \"Rough Sleepers\" in LONDON (better pickings & more shelter) there are some in Auckland but much less obvious ! We live in a very uncivil age and behaviour on the UK Roads is just the tip of the iceberg ! Thanks for reminding us ~ Love & Blessings to YOU & JOYCE : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Ahh, a dangerous day. We best not go out that day, risking life and limb.
We need speed humps in a straight, but not too long, road near us, I reckon.
How about \'No covers on Junction Boxes\' Day (or Year!)? Those green box thingys. Look dangerous to me. I reported one ages ago. nothing done until someone gets blown up, I suppose. Doh!

You are not alone here. The Highway Code clearly states that you should indicate left when about to exit a roundabout (ie when you are level with the exit before the one you are leaving by) but how many do? In fact you are more likely to spot a vehicle leaving a roundabout still indicating right.
I am fed up with arriving at a roundabout twiddling my thumbs, wondering which exit a vehicle already on the roundabout is likely to take. What is wrong with these drivers?
Oh I could go on – how about drivers turning right and waiting at an angle or not moving over so that their offside is level with the centre of the road – thus holding up drivers behind them who want to carry on straight ahead.
All of this will mean little to our American friends but I guess they also have their gripes. Good drivers are not as common as most seem to think!

And isn\'t it wonderful that we all share the Moon no matter where we are...... almost as if we all lived together in the same house.... and that the Moon saw every single one of us including Cleopatra and Caesar and no matter how much disagreement and horror there is in the world, the Moon (and less romantically the Sun) is a peaceful constant! I loved the music too which isn\'t music I would normally find but oh so peaceful.....

A wonderful poem.
You had better keep that \"Bailie Nicol Jarvie\" in a safe place for a special occasion.
A great write that makes us realize we are, none of us, really promised tomorrow, so we should enjoy the things today that we\'ve accumulated over the years. :-)

All I have is a litre of FAMOUS GROUSE I won in the Christmas Raffle. I was too expensive for first footing so i took minatures instead ! I did manage to find some coal as well. As a nutitionist I agree Single Malt must be supped very very slowly ~ you dont always get a refil ! Yours as always Brian ~ Love to JOYCE 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

The Bailie Nicol Jarvie was a Christmas present from our daughter\'s partner. I had never heard of it. It used to be highly popular in Scotland in the twentieth century but is now discontinued, a quite rare scotch now, I am honoured to have a bottle. It is a very good Scotch.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
MANY THANKS UNCLE ANDY : The Acoustic Guitar is our favourite instrument and we love the Quintet of the Hot Club de Paris with Django Rheinhardt : this group follow the same tradition ! Segovia was a great admirer of Django and his technique despite a manual disability ! In the same way Stephan Grapelli was admired by the classical violin virtuoso Yeudi Menuin ~ AMEN.
We found you Poem intriguing for two People half your age (30 & 35). Between us we have a lot of knowledge and an increasing body of experience : but we both lack WISDOM in many areas of life ! We are encouraged that as we age Physically : Mentally our WISDOM will increase !
Thanks for caring. Love & Blessings to YOU & JOYCE :
Angela & Brian 🧡🧡🧡🧡
We are posting YESTERDAY tomorrow : please look out for it !
