Country:  | Oh I have a bugbear that I've remembered - Mothers who drive those 4x4 Panzer tanks in the centre of Clifton when they're taking their vile brats to school.
1 - Make the little buggers walk or get a bus - I did.
2 - Look at the pictures below, just at the top of my road, and round the corner. Notice that, surprise, surprise, the streets were never designed for hulking great 4x4's! Result, the traffic flow, which was bad already begins to grind to a standstill. For the countryside they're fine. Hopeless for dense urban areas. |

Country:  | Y'know? I've been meaning to ask someone this for ages, but why are certain street lines wavy like that? | |

Country: | Means you can't park there - otherwise people would park right up to the zebra crossing. The traffic is a real nightmare round here. | |

| Drivers who don't use indicaters - the amount of times I've almost been hit whilst walking near junctions because of morons who don't know what the flashing lights are for.
The term "chav" - I have no idea where this term came from, back in my day we just called them townies, d1ckheads or thick tw*ts. I personally like my brothers name for them, Scroats, more appropriate I think.
School kids who wear Cobain/Nirvana T-shirts - Most of them have no idea who he was or what he was like. Talking crap about how original they were, Pixies, anyone?

I have to agree with you Med them Shmuck trucks just dont fit on our roads and 99% of them never go off road anyway whats the point.
