Well, one downside (?) of the setting is the large Bambi population and travelling in this morning the car three in front suddenly slams on the anchors as one shot out in front of him. The car behind just missed a nose/tail interface and I had the lucky ringside seat from the slight right hand bend 50 metres back. I will be even more cautious on that road now the daylight hours are receding.
nice to be thought of

its about time the gov deployed the armed forces to cull the fox and deer population. the gov keep banging on about health and safety but they let a simple thing like keeping the wild animals population in the uk go unchecked.

its like farmers moaning when one of their livestock gets run over by a vehicle. well put fences up or shut up is my response.

I find it incredible they are allowed to keep sheep without a fence. It shouldn't be allowed and they should be fined if they escape and cause an accident.

It's like whenever I see those "mud on road" signs. I always think, well clean it the F up then! Instead of putting up a stupid little sign
