I feel a lot of sympathy for the fragrant Mrs. Lunn, who has been chained to the kitchen sink at home and not allowed any respite during holidays. I've just taken a short holiday break with my wife, we stayed in hotels as we drove across Europe and in consequence neither of us had to lift a finger to cook or clean. Kevin Lunn's idea of a good holiday is to carry his home on his back, for him to lounge around and watch his wife do exactly the same chores she has to do at home. Some holiday for her.

You, on the other hand > take the view that he *is* wrong. An arrogant stance, if I may say so. No, the difference between my view and Kev's is that I happen to think other people have a right to live in ways that differ from those I approve of. Kev's got every right to be a narrow-minded bigot.

You qualify that stance by saying that technically he is breaking the law, which to me is pedantic in the extreme, nay, even bordering on being narrow minded yourself. I'd bet that you would do the same, especially if the flow of traffic was also doing 32mph?....I do. Bod

No, I "nitpick" him for breaking the speed limit whilst simultaneously castigating others for breaking the speed limit. Either the speed limit is the law and to be obeyed regardless of conditions, or the speed limit is a guideline and conditions are the important bit. Can't have it both ways. > I'd bet that you would do the same, especially if the flow of traffic > was also doing 32mph?....I do. I'm not the one calling others "stupid" for breaking the speed limit.

How often do you check your tyres for bulges and similar early-warnings of impending failure? |
