Havn't they got anything better to do than dawdle along the road making everybody else drive in a convoy behind them. The roads are narrow and boring anyway without poodling along at 30mph everywhere.
I decided to have a xmas pressy run up to my son in Somerset, got off the ferry in Hampshire wizzed along the road lovely. Got to the Dorset border and every Nissan micra (spit) in the county were taking it in turns at some sort of relay, right across the county 30mph all the way, as one turned off another took it's place. Got to Devon and all back to normal even a bit of ton plus on the motorway.
Coming back, I thought sod this for a game of marbles and came back Salisbury way, what to you reckon? all the Dorset drivers had told their Wiltshire relatives to get out in their berlingos and hold up the traffic for a bit of fun. I am sure I saw a few of the old duffers grinning away to themselves, but then you can't really tell with those turnip heads if they are grinning or practising their gurning skills.
Try driving through Chatsworth park on a regular basis ACE. First of all you have to slow down to 2 MPH because the tourists see a cattle grid and everyone knows you have to drive really SLOWLY over a cattle grid incase your false teeth drop out.
Then you have to drive Very slowly so that you can look at the Big House, then slow down a bit more because there are sheep either side of the road. Admitedly Chatsworth sheep are really good at jumping across the road when there are tourists about, but they know exactly what they are doing and never get hit, they just enjoy winding up the trippers.
Best of all are the deer when a tourist sees those they slam on the brakes and stop to view the deer and b******r the poor sod behind you who has to brake just as suddenly to stop running into the back of the tourist car driver who apparently has never seen a deer before.
(Mind you today the Stags were stood in front of the hinds and would have made a fantastic photo if I had my camera!!!) :tongue3:
