So on the one hand its a safety area on the other its a danger area. Not exactly sensible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white van brigade will ignore those disability signs just like they do with the pointless double yellow lines all over Douglas. Shoukd get about 6 on there as there is the pavement to park on as well which will be a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a foreign vehicle in sight. That reminds me of the old 'working class, middle class, upper class' sketch by Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie barker and John Cleese. Moggy 1000 in the working class slow lane, Austin A40 (I think 40 not 30 Doc) in the middle class fast lane and the Mk 7 Jag in the upper class overtaking lane. Wonderful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure about the Austin, I decided on a 30 cos of the width and rear waistline but am willing to concede cos I'm not sure. You're right about the class structure though, it really does reflect that sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
