[I've never driven for a living, but I did used to let myself get wound up by traffic and conditions on the roads when I was out. Somewhere along the line, I mellowed out. After all, that's out of your control, so there's no point in getting het up about it. But it's worth making a song and dance about stupidity in your TM's office and depots, etc. Squeaky chairs and all that.] -- "Celibacy is not hereditary."

Might do a week next week and call it a day for a month or so and let all the bad weather come and go. Glad I've not been out in the wind this week. -- Conor The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.

I used to really enjoy driving too, but standards have slipped so low, the roads are so crowded, and the cameras so prolific that all enjoyment of driving near home (W Mids) has gone. I *do*, however, enjoy driving up in Scotland on holiday. There's less dawdlers (and more opportunity to pass safely), fewer cameras (and the ones that are there are in sensible places more often), and better roads. |
