Ok so this blog is mainly along the theme of railways both real and in model form... however I want to also share my views (they are my views remember!) on certain aspects of life that sometimes get on my nerves.
1. People who don't bother to uses the indicaters when driving.
Driving on the M4 and M5 yesterday I lost count of the number of idiots who change lanes at speed with no signal at all. Unbelievable. Am I a mind reader? NO. Please use your indicators! When I rule the world there will be a compulsory driving test for all drivers once every 3 years. (I was a driving instructor - I know what I'm taking about!)
2. (this one is railway related) Railway photographers - I was at the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway this weekend for the excellent diesel gala. Why oh why do a small minority of complete fruit cakes insist on running from one platform to the other etc etc - pushing and shoving everyone to get "that shot" as if their life depended on it. No wonder the hobby has a bad name at times! Such an odd bunch.
3. Pub/cafe food - why oh why do certain pubs, cafes etc etc stop serving food at 3 or 4pm until 6.30/7pm? Went in a lovely pub in Ross on Wye at 5pm yesterday - great beer and great looking menu only to be told no food til 6.15. Why?! They've been doing food all day so why stop for a few hours? Mad.
Agree with your ranting entirely, and it is all completely justified. As someone who drives vast mileages every month I wonder sometimes if a crystal ball in the cab would help...
