Default I'm turning soft

I woke up this morning, looked out of the window to the sight of thick fog & thought to myself "Thank god I'm in the van today". So I have driven to work in the firms van.
I am definitely going soft in my old age

Cheers Sid
I was thinking of popping into town after work & buying a pair of these.

Very fetching don't you think?

Hmmm, go in the van or risk some pr1ck rear ending you in thick fog (visibility is down to around 50 yards where I am).

Going in the van does NOT seem like a soft option to me.

Wasn't nice this morning, froze to death & was bricking it for the 17 miles to work. Might just hang my winter boots up for the 1st time in 20 odd years & use the car.
