I think you forgot to add "men" to "ladies" at the mini roundabouts DHR - in fact any roundabouts ! Try following a bloke round a roundabout or a supermarket - most of them haven't got a clue
I'll take your word for the Golfing problems - must be really annoying - even more so when they pile their bits and pieces into their cars and set off to negotiate some roundabouts
Why oh why do the News programmes have to give the headlines as the last programme rolls away then thirty seconds later do it all again, I throw things at the screen. Why do they have to rush all the top news readers to parts of the world where catastrophe strikes then interview people obviously in dire shock, they would be happier to see people who can help not intrude.
As to driving, try taking a 44 Tonne truck through a town to a High Street Supermarket, they did not all have back side warehouses. If they did you would probably need reverse down a back street using all the road to get the back round, the language used by car drivers without a second to spare usually found me out of the cab and facing them off. I am 6 foot and was well muscled, oh the joy of seeing the shock on those faces. Next time you pass and cut in on the motorway remember it takes a truck three times as long to stop. On a Roundabout a truck swings wide because the back of the trailer does not follow the cab, it takes a narrower line, if you try nipping through expect to end up under the trailer or pushed onto the grass by the side bars, be warned.
People on motorways who don't realise that when they indicate, the light doesn't switch on instantaneously. Even if it takes half a second, a car travelling at 70 mph will travel some distance before the light blinks. The driver behind will take a second or two to notice, then they have to react, which takes more time and yards.
How many times do you see the indicator lighting only when the driver is partway through his manoeuvre?
I wish drivers would indicate before not during a manoeuvre.

Totally agree hosta
I don't get why they always play missing doormat at medley concerts though.

When I worked near fleet street, I would often see a film crew piled onto a tiny patch of grass behind Clement Danes, just opposite the law courts.

Impatient drivers who think everyone else is in the wrong
In the sticks near Peterborough
MCPs
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

People who always think that they are in the right and that all others are fools.
tee hee at reading " MCPs" as MPCs.
What's Dove got against multi purpose compost I wondered.

DHR It is an overtaking lane not an "outside" lane.
