How thick are some people

This was on a right hand bend, and this stupid cow couldn’t see what she was doing wrong, sat there blocking the road.

More so that she avoided eye contact with me, and when the traffic got going, she waved at the driver on her left, just out of shot, (My right.) yet still wouldn’t look at me.

Where do these people learn to drive? Billy Smarts circus?

Never a copper when you want one.

They live in a bubble world.Bet her journey is of no importance and could have walked to lose weight and save her fuel.

Hi “Quinny” ,
I instantly recognised that road junction as being in Kendal.
I can understand your frustration , because there is a cross-roads , where the main flow of traffic takes the
right-angle turn, rather than the (normal) straight ahead procedure .
This change of being causes a lot of problems , and I know this from awaiting a gap in the traffic flow
when egressing the other two roads. Sometimes the only way to enter the main road is to (reluctantly) nose-out as such.
■■■■■■■ County Council have ignored all the complaints , and are reluctant to offer any solution. :smiling_imp: :exclamation:

I am neither supporting or condemning the car driver , …just merely expressing my own experiences
of this very poorly-designed road junction in my local town of Kendal. :neutral_face:
Try egressing this junction after having delivered to the main street shops , - you could take your 45 break there . :frowning: :unamused:

Better luck next time ,…,.,and…no,…I don`t know the car driver . :unamused: :laughing: :laughing:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

I must admit the road lines are not the best in the world, nevertheless, if that were you or I in our trucks, you can bet there would be a copper there in seconds, dishing out the fine for obstruction. If she is a local, which I would guess she was, then she ought to know better.

That said, the road that she came out of from behind her, is VERY clearly marked with give way lines, so she has no excuse.

Wonder what would have been said if I just abandoned the artic where I was to go and get some Mint Cake.

Mmmm… Mint cake… :smiley:

Ken.

Hi “Quinny” ,
Now theres a coincidence ,............theres a shop which sells Kendal Mint Cake only 10 yards ( b*gger the metric
measurements :unamused: :laughing: ) away from the front of your cab , and the Police Station is 200 yards away , just around the corner
out of sight ,- possibly same for the coppers . :unamused: :laughing:
And ,…you had been delayed by the traffic lights on entering Kendal only a couple of minutes` earlier . :frowning:
Clearly , Kendal is best avoided between 8.00 a.m. and 8.00 p.m. every day.

As to the " W.A.I." , I recognised that photograph too , but couldn`t reply to both of your threads at the same time. :unamused: :laughing:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

It happens. It’s just part of daily life.
You’ll end up in an early grave if you let minor things like this get to you.

Sorry ! :blush:
It should have been "First for a while,…etc " by “Quinny” .
The photograph quizzes are often referred to as Where am I , hence abbreviated to W.A.I.

I hope this clears up all misunderstandings.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Thanks.

Its the eye avoidance technique that bugs me more than the cheeky blocking. At least acknowledge that youre pulling a “naughty” on me! Commonplace, but still irksome. Of course, being a budding professional, I never react negatively…!!!

Agree with Cattle Wagon Man, Chipping Norton has a similar junction (Worcester/Burford Roads), where in a lorry sometimes you nust need to persuade people to let you out. Blocking the road is a no no as in the picture, but slowing the traffic in the right circumstances is ok.

Question:

Quinny:
‘…How thick are some people…’?

Answer: Very

Quinny:
'…Never a copper when you want one…

Of course not - because at our bidding as the electorate via the ballot box, plod is busy doing much political leg-work to uber-liberalise the nation to bring more of such antisocial & detrimental behaviour to the (Former) UK

:unamused:

I had one the other day, I’m indicating left in to a builders merchants, had to wrong side it on the approach to make the turn in, totally obvious to anyone with a brain what I’m about to do & the tool in the car behind comes up my inside, I clocked him/her/it doing so & he/she/it just made it under before I cut in for the turn. Darwin has not finished his work yet. Bless 'em.

15

I had this on the round about near to Oxford Street in London. Car with two very fit birds blocking me from entering the roundabout. I gave them a toot and she reversed, happy days and crack on

16

there is an easy solution to this problem!

shoot the town clowncil. and put kendals one way system back as it once was.
which was far quicker !

17

Anyone know who the leader of the town council is?

I feel a letter coming on.

Ken.

Hi “Bertiebus” ,
Correct there , lad !! The well-known saying ,- If it aint broke , then dont fix it !!

I wonder what happened to the barsteward who was responsible for the almighty c*ck-up of Kendals traffic flow. :unamused: :unamused: The last I heard of him was that hed been transferred to somewhere in the south of England. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
His mother was Mayor of Kendal a few years back. Im still awaiting replies from two letters I delivered to her Parlour in the Town Hall complaining about the sad state of her sons pathetic failures.

I`ll find out the details for you on Monday , “Quinny” . :smiley:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

I’m thinking along the lines that if an outsider gives them some ■■■■, they may, just may, take notice.
