That's right. Because driving just one car length behind the vehicle in front at 50mph is safe.
The reason the vehicles are driving so slowly - it is the sheer volume of traffic on a trunk road which has lost a third of its flow capacity.

Let's not forget those who pay in card at the CASH self service checkout.
Yes, yes, yes! I am sick and tired of the gambling adverts on YouTube now. And they all follow the same formula:
Bet with us! Gamble with us! Spend! Spend! Bet! Gamble!
(By the way please take breaks)

Indeed. Clearly still an issue! (See also post #6,501 on page 217).

and more power to you!
I would ban people from being so inattentive that even when an available checkout is right in front of them, they don't go to it and just stand holding up the queue
+1. I’ve give up tapping them on the shoulder now, and just go past.

I think we need a publicity campaign to remind people of this as too many people still seem to have not realised.
"You can gamble anywhere, at any time!"
But also "not everytime needs to be gambling time."
Just tell the alcoholic to put the lid back on the bottle.
Whn in actual fact the gambling companies are really saying,
"we by law have to tell you to gamble responsibly but our shareholders and management would rather you didn't, you can just get another mortgage it will be fine "

Change Class 60 to class 54 so that the numbers don't conflict with the BR numbers of LNER pacifics.

There's no conflict! The BR numbers of the LNER Pacifics ran from 60001 upwards....whereas the class 60s are numbered from 60 001upwards.

Class 68 so they don't clash with WD 0-6-0 saddle tanks?

The ventilation fans on every single Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 bus I have ever been on. They make a horrible whining noise, particularly near the front of the top deck, whenever switched on but seem to achieve very little meaningful ventilation.
For those not aware, they are one of the most popular models of buses in the country and they have been built in some form or another for around 20 years now. Surely it isn't beyond the wit of man to design a better ventilation system.

The sprogs that lives in the house that backs on to mine. I really appreciate being woken up every morning by her screaming and shouting for about two hours before she goes to school.
Cash machines that ask if you want to "check your balance" and then wonder if you want a receipt or show the balance when you've clearly selected the ' no' option.

Those who live in the Stafford area and use Chaserider bus services.
Their buses must be the worst of the worst. I really don’t know where they get them from. They bang, rattle, shake more than any fairground ride. It really is torture to travel on them. Reaching your destination is both welcomed and relief.

I know I shouldn't say this as I love nature, but I bloody hate pigeons. The vermin of the bird world. Rats with wings. The only benefit I can see in a pigeon is that it provides a tasty meal for a sparrowhawk (other birds of prey are available).
Of course, whether you like pigeons or not will depend on where you live and more importantly where the pigeons live. Unfortunately me & pigeons live in close proximity. They wake me up every morning with their cooing. They eat all the food I put out for other birds. They sh*t everywhere. They are a bloody nuisance.
Every time I watch a nature programme, they'll say 'x' bird is in decline. This doesn't seem to apply to pigeons.....

We get wood pigeons, feral pigeons (or just possibly rock doves, they're the same species), and a solitary collared dove in our garden. And not infrequently on the roof directly above my office. It's the %@$&*! rooks that eat all the food, scare the small birds away, and wake us up at first light.
Another one for the list: [First Name]'s Law. I have no problem in principle with someone who's experienced something awful, or their family, campaigning for a change in the law to prevent that happening to anone else. But can we please stop with the mawkish 'naming' of that law after the person that inspired it?
If it isn't a good enough law to get through on its own merits, it probably ought not to be a law!

Aw, I love pigeons! They're highly intelligent and hygienic creatures; it's not their fault that we domesticated and abandoned them.
Or Cole's?

Mike Tyson (famous boxer) did an interview that talks about how much he loves pigeons & how they convinced him to get into boxing

Lovely, thank you for sharing. I don't know much about Tyson, but it's nice to see a more tender and sensitive side of him.

A story from the great Tom Lehrer. He was recording one of his songs with an orchestra and the parts only arrived at the last minute, but without lyrics or title. They ran through it and the pianist remarked, “What a pleasant little waltz“. The engineer said, “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, Take One”. The pianist said, “What”, and fell off his stool.
