      1)Nobody would vote for it.
      2) You would be surrounded by people wondering what to do in a supermarket.

            I like this time of year when shopping for brussel sprouts as they sell them on the tree. I bought one that has 49 (yes, I know it's sad that I counted them :heehee:) and it only cost £1. They stay much fresher that way. :blue thumb: Difficult to fit in the shopping bag. :rolleyespink:

                Doubt it. Voice recognition will soon have improved sufficiently so you will simply say "Text: Eric Meet allotments 1600hrs Send" and Eric will receive text. Probably without speaking out loud.

                  Without speaking out loud would be good so that the rest of us don't hear their conversations.

                  Happy Christmas to all you good people on this forum

                    Merry Christmas to all!

                    My sister has just sent me this photo she took yesterday of the teddy bear she had for Christmas.

                    She called him Brumas.* He's looking a bit care worn, but well loved despite his new Wimbledon FC. football shorts.
                    Mind you, she was given him by our parents, when she was four.... in 1951.
                    She would not give him to her own daughter, he was too precious.

                    IMG_0630[808].JPG

                    * Brumas was the first polar bear born at London Zoo, in 1949.

                      My sister was given a teddy bear in 1942. She still has one of its ears! :heehee:

                        My mom knitted a donkey for me and finished it in hospital the day after I was born. I still have it now.

                          'Tit head of the year award 2018'

                          Competition has been fierce this year, but after lengthy deliberations, the judging panel have identified a worthy winner just this morning.

                          Winning scenario:

                          Temporary traffic lights have been set up. An unknown party changes the light settings, so that each set is permanently on red.

                          Whilst waiting at one set of red lights, the judging panel realise that the lights are on permanent red and so progress with caution through the said red lights.

                          As a good will gesture, the Head Judge stops alongside the lead car at the other side of the traffic lights and requests to speak to the driver, to advise that they should also progress with caution, provided that the road ahead is clear.

                          The driver in the stationary vehicle, looks at the Head Judge with disdain and moves his car forward, so that it is now impossible for the Head Judge to warn that the traffic lights have been tampered with.

                          The award was confirmed some time later, when the winner could be seen, still sitting in his stationary vehicle.

                          What a diamond :doh:.

                          That's an interesting point Jiffy :blue thumb:.

                          At what point does common sense over ride traffic law - or does it at all?

                          If I was driving through a no stopping area - would I be charged if I stopped to avoid running someone over?

                          If I was at a box junction - would I be charged if I entered the box junction - to let an ambulance through?

                          Would I be charged if I was driving above the speed limit to get someone urgently to the hospital?

                          Stopping at 'faulty' traffic lights - would I get charged with impeding traffic flow - I failed my first driving test for going too slowly.

                          The police do not have the authority to 'allow' someone to go through red traffic lights - the rules are the rules as they say - only the courts have the ability to take into account the individual circumstances :smile:.

                            Not sure, but i think this temporary traffic light tampering is fairly common.
                            On my way to work there is always at least one set of these things garding an open hole that basically only need filling in, the job has been done but they have seven days after that to fill it in, or so I was told by SGN.

                            Its not uncommon but fairly normal to them not being working or stuck on red most early mornings.
                            You have to just go through and hope you dont meet anything coming the other way, they are often on dark narrow country lanes.
