...-are really beginning to hack me off!


Not only do plenty of them jaywalk, but those using legal crossings... well they aren't exactly helping traffic flow are they?


Then I find out that (who else!) Ken Livingstone wants more of us to walk everywhere - this is just soooo typical of his politically correct efforts to prevent motorists from getting where we want to, when we want to, with the minimum of fuss


Surely these pedestrians can see that if they got out of our way, we would get to where we want to quicker and then be out of their way???

I know what you mean! Bastards! Last night I went to the corner shop to pick up some milk. It should have only taken a couple of minutes as the shop is a block away from my house but:


First I had to walk 2 blocks to where my car was parked. It could have been on the pavement outside my house but apparently the pavement is ?reserved? for ?pedestrians?.


Anyway I then had to drive around the one way system to the shop but do you think I could park? Could I fuck! There is plenty of space on the road outside the shop but you can?t park their because it is something called a ?bus stop?. Believe me I?ve tried. Apparently when pedestrians aren?t j-walking or clogging up the pavements they travel around on theses ?bus? things sweating and rubbing their shoulders up against each other. It?s filthy I tell you.


So I had to drive half a mile up lordship lane before I found somewhere to park and walk for ten minutes to the shop!


I?m not even going to start on my trip home. Let?s just say it made Odysseus?s famed journey seem like an easyjet flight to Athens!

Yeah, and then they start sweating, and use up valuable water resources to re-hydrate themselves! Selfish gits!

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
