His other wife ran off with Tony Hancock. Again, he was very decent about it.

Suggests to me that 'being very decent' about these things may not always be the way to go.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm quite fond of having a place where I can walk without cars being allowed to drive on it, and the idea that you should slow cars down by encouraging pedestrians to walk in the middle of the road is mental imo. It's Town Plannery gine mad! :-(

Eddie Izzard who noted that we lost an Empire because a whole generation of Englishmen said, "Oh, do you really think so?"

I rather like that. It certainly puts a whole new spin on things for me.

Is Hattie Jacques India?

station.
It was always a mental one. I'm coming out of White Lion street which is awlays a pain. A bus stops to let me out. So naturally I am looking to my right for traffic, Left is clear as soon as I move this nutter runs in front of me trying to cross to the station :furious:

I think he **** his pants though he jumped through the air like superman.

He's probably thinking the bus is stopping for him.

Horns are only used as a courtesy to advise other vehicles that you are there, not as a rebuke.

Everyone travels at the speed of the slowest user of that piece of road, basically.

In Cambodia, although traffic is supposed to drive on the left, what tends to happen is that one lane of traffic uses the middle of the road, there is an opposite direction lane to the left using half road and half 'pavement' (there are no pavements) and then a third 'lane' of oncoming traffic to the right. It's all rather confusing.

I've stood there on the pavement shouting "NO, COME BACK YOU IDIOT!" at people who see no vehicles on the road immediately in front of them so start crossing the road, regardless of the trajectory and velocity of the approaching machinery just a few yards away. Not looking to see who might be turning left seems to be particularly popular, unfortunately.

Mind you, can you imagine? Something that size with a libido on it that would exhaust a Bramah Bull?

Jesus. :-(
