IA, is it okay if your King/Queen beeps their horn? I ask because some of them were Tootors as I recall.

That right was taken away after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 because the celebrations had given many of the neighbours Hanovers.

Awesum.
Historical puns FTW!

... but it was all blown away by the Windsor change...




okay, back to cyclists, as an occasional one myself, I get really hacked off when I have to crawl along beside a cyclist I can't overtake when he's riding in the road - alongside a perfectly good, empty cycle lane. I don't mind paying a bit of extra tax for cycle lanes to be built, so USE THE THING, YOU IDIOT!!!!!

Mopeds, what an annoying whiny little noise they make, i can appreciate thier fuel effeciency and cheapness but the noise is horrible, like a whiny little kid struggling to reach full volume because of a cold or something.

Mopeds

Quite agree!

I have no problems with real bikes - a big, deep, throaty, throbbing roar as a Harley goes by is fine, but I really hate those little piddly things that sound like a mosquito farting. They only seem to have two modes - idle or full throttle - it just sounds ridiculous, and it's always some callow youth who thinks he's king of the road, as well....

Oh, dear, I'd better sit down, all this bile is going to my head
