First up, I believe that many motorists are irresponsible, therefore we need speed controls and enforcement.


Secondly I know that most motorists haven't a clue how to drive on roads with these. Speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down. Oh what fun I had on Court Lane overtaking a Chelsea tractor (or in my words a tank) in my forty years old car.


So this is how you drive, keep up a steadyish speed, ease of the throttle in-between and then slightly accelerate just before the bumps, which helps to spread out the impact (there is a more technical explanation no doubt).


So I do Court Lane between 18 and about 22mph, smug that I am loosely keeping to a sensible and appropriate 20mph, but even more smug that I have burnt out a car forty years newer, worth 15 times more than mine.

Which way did you come? I did A45 then B3983 but avoiding the temporary lights at Yaleham by looping round Great Hadenough. I get a better mpg that way and am less likely to allow the suicidal thoughts to surface whilst waiting in the queue to turn right at the old World Of Leather....

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
