A race to get out of Portsmouth. No one wants to loose that race.
You obviously have to drive differently in a big city but the same "rules" still apply - criticise yourself before others and life gets easier.
Lived in London for a year and was quite happy driving anywhere in the Big Smoke. You just need to be pretty assertive.
I'm not a racist, but ....all Portsmouth drivers are SHIT.
Portsmouth is shit full stop.
PeterPoddy, it wasn't aimed at you, sorry if it hurt you.
CharlieMungus, dictionary? What for?
A mate of mine, a long-term lorry driver, drove in France for several months and then arrived to Folkstone. All went smoothly but people were hooting at him all the time. It took an armed Police van to force him to stop, he was driving on the wrong side of the road. Does it make all the Poles crap drivers? I am, but that's a different story, isn't it?
So - we have established that south east drivers are crap drivers because they are a different race from the planet Hurryupyoukahnt
Is that right?
Why are most of the 'most dangerous roads in Britain' in the North of England?
'cos thats when the hills and corners are - only dangerous 'cos the south east drivers try and drive on them, get confused at the lack of traffic jams and drive into the beautiful scenery
Ahh, I knew there'd be a logical explanation.
Those dangerous roads in the norf are dangerous because there's all these elderly "born again bikers" pouring themselves into leathers and riding 150bhp motorbikes that they can't go round corners on and then kill themselves or or sometimes some other people as well. Also all norferners think they're the best at everything.
Cornish driving is chilled because there's only about 200 people there who can read well enough to take the test, and anyway red diesel only gets used in tractors.
London/ SE driving can be rather aggressive mostly because there's about 15 million cars trying to get to more or less the same place at the same time, oh, and the yummy mummies in Porsche Cayenne Turbo's kerbing them outside Freddy's school then outside Cafe Rouge.

Charlie - Can I take your / the point then?
Take it? I doubt if you could even see it.
Are you needling me Mungus, or is it as I've long suspected..... you're pointless?
no, no. The point is that there is always a point but often you cannot see it. You need to move to the argand plane
Is this a one dimensional argument?
If you can't twist a point what does a bradawl do?
And ffs it's lose (as in lost, loser, losing),
loose is to be released from or for something that is not tight (unlike my pedantic backside when someone uses loose instead of lose)
An imaginary point... the basis upon which I've watched you start many an argument 😆
But remember there is a real component as well
