Fog lights are for fog…

Trip in to work this morning started well. Found an old Bon Jovi CD under the seat, stuck it on and cranked up the volume. Short lived though - by the time I got onto the motorway (must be at least 2 mins from my house) I was already getting annoyed by idiots with fog lights.

Is it really that difficult? Fog lights are for use when it is foggy. Less than 100m of visability I seem to recall. Yes, it was foggy last night. No, it was not foggy this morning. *Not at all* foggy in Folkestone. You managed to turn on the fog light last night surely you can mange to turn it off again?

Coming back down the A2 (yes, I travel a rather obscure route to work) I came off to shoot through Harbledown and avoid the queue when suddenly a police car flies up behind me with blues’n'2s wailing. I let him past only for him to turn off his lights immediately. Bastard.

To the copper who was driving the incident van this morning Reg V779KKP a few points:
1) The speed limit through Harbledown is 40mph. That counts for you as well.
2) The speed limit through Rough Common is 30mph. As above.
3) The yellow/orange things on the four corners of your plodmobile are called indicators. You are supposed to use them to indicate. This includes when you turned left onto the A2 in front of me, when you turned into Rough Common and finally when you suddenly stop without warning at an arse angle on a blind corner so that you can answer your phone.

As for the knob in his Nova who was attempting to get into my boot for most of the trip up the A2 you can’t begin to understand how much pleasure I got out of watching as your engine expired in a cloud of blue smoke just past the bridge junction. Maybe a little more cash spent on servicing and a little less on the blue light up windscreen washer jets and the oh so loveley picnic bench come spoiler that must cost you at least 5 mpg? Still, I guess it gives you something to hold while you are pushing it off of the A2.

And finally, if anyone needs a fence putting up then there is a company somewhere around here that deserves your business. Dunno what they are called or what their fences are like but anyone who paints “Satisfaction guaranteed with every erection” accross all of their lorries gets my vote :-)
