Why Oh Why ???

Post by MellowYellow »

Do councils and transport bodies go to the trouble and (large) expense of erecting road direction signs and then carefully grow trees and bushes over them. X( :-l

Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

Off ??? Moi ???

I was doing the A 38 from Brizzle to Taunton as familiarisation for the Summer Santas run. Awful road. Frustrating in the extreme.

New enormous roundabouts and millions of new rabbit hutches caused me to get disorientated. Many of the signs were showing a 6 inch vertical strip with one letter visible and no graphics.
%%- Lovely verdancy though. @};-

It'll be fine for the santas as we will only be plodding along at Yamaha velocity and exhibiting ourselves to the populace.
