I’d like to point out that I’m not anti-World Cup. I’ll probably watch a match or two. But some of the rubbish one can buy does cause me to raise my quite literal eyebrows.

I laughed at this one! I’ve spent the whole weekend with the urge to go out with a VERY LARGE pair of scissors and cut them all off. Have been wondering if I would get arrested for that, though! So thanks for this one!

Apparently very unenviromental. And bad for the environment. And not very green. But my rector has one so it must be ok.

I find them slightly too distracting when driving – I can’t see over/round them at roundabouts and things…
It’s probably just me though. I’m rather a stickler for road safety (and perhaps too easily distracted)
Yours, Tufty.

I also keep thinking I have seen the same car. I have got over it now but my eyes keep thinking I am seeing something familiar, and then I realise they have all got it. I’m weird.

I’ve had this sent to me by email – thought you might like it!
Due to the nature of the quality of driving in England, the Department of Transport has now devised a new scheme in order to identify poor drivers and give good drivers the opportunity to recognise them whilst driving. For this reason as from the middle of May 2006 those drivers who are found to be driving badly, which includes:
- overtaking in dangerous places;
- hovering within one inch of the car in front;
- stopping sharply;
- speeding in residential areas;
- pulling out without indication;
- performing U turns inappropriately in busy high streets;
- undertaking on motorways;
- taking up more than one lane in multi lane roads.These drivers will be issued with flags, white with a red cross, signifying their inability to drive properly. These flags must be clipped to a door of the car and be visible to all other drivers and pedestrians.
Those drivers who have shown particularly poor driving skills will have to display a flag on each side of the car to indicate their greater lack of skill and general lower intelligence mindset to the general public.
Please circulate this to as many other motorists as you can so that drivers and pedestrians will be aware of the meaning of these flags.
