On my commute to work the other day and whilst approaching a set of lights in Glasgow's east end I made an interesting social observation. As the sun was out and car windows were open, driver's choice of music could be clearly heard. At the back of the queue two young girls in a Mini Cooper playing the Ting Tings. Next car, a young buck in a VW Golf who with marching season on the horizon had dug out his flute band CD. At the front of the queue a middle aged man in a Vectra blasting out timeless classics from the Quo.

Who said Glasgow isn't cosmopolitan!

I think it's nice when drivers have windows down. Seems a little bit more friendly and it gave me an opportunity to pull along side a car and tell the chap one of his brake lights was broken as he wasn't driving that fast.
 
I have been tempted in the past, whilst waiting at lights, when a car turns up with music blasting, to burst into dance.

I have resisted that temptation so far. It would make for an interesting video though....:ohmy:

...and in Edinburgh they'd have been too out of their heads on smack to listen to anything.

With the good weather :sad: there seems to be tons of folk like that recently. Outside the car its usually a good volume and as long as it not too monotonous it livens up the commute; I hate to be in the car though.

Bursting into dance now there's an idea :smile:
