Had to login to OOF this morning to see what people were whinging about today. Guess some cookie or other had become stale.

Self inflicted. You can tick the stay signed in box

Looks like Thursday is old farts driving day out, for effs sake 35 in a 60 on a clear road. Then the road ruiners have filled a layby with gravel to wreck some side roads (same ones they ruined last year by the look of it) and have temp traffic lights so they can load wagons. 20mph and loose gravel signs on the main road so of course the old farts are slowing down even though the side roads have not been tared.

Overtake or sit back and suck it up

Unfortunately I was in the middle of the queue and no long straights, worse still it they went slower when there was a few drops of rain---------

Round these parts, it used to be everyone drove 15mph below the speed limit* so when all the limits got lowered to 50mph, everywhere was 35mph, with not too many overtaking opportunities.  Now its started to creep to 20mph under the limit, making overtaking potentially easier.


*Except when they get to 30mph villages, when they speed up.

one speed wonders, everywhere at 38mph

Following my recent trip to Lincolnshire, I can see why Opti needs more power.  Everyone drives at 35mph until you go to overtake, when they boot it.

This happened countless times in one weekend.

And that's just the old farts on the mobility scooters, forgot to ask, did you find the retirement property you were looking for?

There was a time that the fastest thing on 4 wheels you could buy was a Transit van. Now - the front of every queue round here is some twonk driving one at 45 in a NSL limit.

Retirement .  You ain't that far behind me .  But, yes, I can see exactly what you were saying about each area 'D


Mablethorpe - shithole with nothing to do, nowhere really to eat either.  Quite disappointed.
Skeggy - exceeded my expectations.  Clean (aside from the druggies bus shelter) and litter free.  Obviously chavvy though.
Cleethorpes - much like what I thought Skeggy would be, mostly run down and full of bingo halls for the fag smoking grannies.


I don't think I will ever return to that area

Come south to Malvern, nice here apart from the slow drivers.

Omega was £415 to tax so that's gone up £20 
Still .... at least the council will have that cash to fix all the bloody pot holes 
car insurance renewal £100 too much (compared to other sites) so I'll have to waste my time arguing them down again
