I've found on dual carriageway stuff unless the light's are flashing they go slowish.
On the back roads they are on the money.

Not really my gripe, but traveling east bound on the A13 we got held up by nose to tail traffic. I said to my kids in the car, so what's the problem today, accident, broken down car, tractor???

So we trundled along, what was the hold up?

Everyone on our side of the dual carriageway ogling at a full gypsy funeral procession including horse and carts, taking up both lanes of the westbound A13 on their way to wherever they were going?

so behind this procession was at least a 3 mile tailbacknof traffic.

my daughter videoed it as we went past, I'll see if i can post it up, as to see it, is to believe it!

3 day migraine, again. So a combination of Topiramate, Naproxen and HRT hadn't worked and I've just had to take Imigran and lie down in a dark room instead. Now heading into work feeling like I've a head full of jellies eels.

My gripe today is Business Development Managers.

They are over inflated sales people who think it acceptable to 'invite you to a meeting' and spam your social media, pretend to be your 'friend' or 'connection'
If you say you are not interested they just reply that they will call again in 1 or 3 months.

I'm not interested, not your friend, have no connection with you and I don't want you calling me. Ever.

Can I get a restraining order against everyone with Business Development Manager as their job title?

Missing the smell and the look of a patch of diesel on the approach of the roundabout.
Sore knee in the general sidways wobbly mess that insued...
