Clutch in and handbrake normally. Manuals don't creep.

When you're on a busy motorway in the rain, with lunatics cutting in and out of lanes and diving for exits at the last second, you already have too much going on to be able to work out if it's a brake light or illegally used fog light crossing your path. They are a distraction and certainly very annoying. Plus some of them are the same intensity as a lighthouse.

Fog lights mounted next to the stop lights are a menace for the reasons above

I've done a lot of motorway commuting, through all weathers, all year round, on very busy roads and it's never bothered me.

umm yea



Freakin UPS. They have access points all over Aberdeen but they won't bring it any closer than Dundee. Even though they will be bringing it back up here tomorrow to attempt a second delivery, they can't just drop it off. I don't think I'll be using them ever

That reminds me what really ****es me off............Parcel force admin fee. Ordered £200 worth of stuff from Webike japan. The duty was and extra £36 fair enough but PF bunged another £16 on top of that for admin charges. Robbing gits, that's on top of the postal charges they had been paid for.
