Sitting on the ferry now ready for the return trip. Having great fun watching people in huge Suvs trying to manoeuvre them into place on the deck and clearly struggling despite directions from the ferry staff.

If you can't drive, why buy a Tonka Toy:wacko:

If Laurel and Hardy were alive, I'm sure they could work this scene into a short comedy film!

I have that scenario regularly but yesterday saw an almost unbelievable one. They came down a side road with a clearly marked halt sign and drove straight through without stopping or looking but fortunately I know this junction and had my foot over the brake pedal.
At the next T junction feinted left and then turned right followed by the same at a mini roundabout. They then waited until a blind corner on the double track and overtook another car which was doing 50mph. Vanished into the distance and I shudder to think what went on for the rest of their journey.
I often wonder how on earth some of them actually get here given the standard of driving when they are here.

Sun was shining when I was on the ferry but the last twenty miles were in a complete torrential downpour :rain:

Have tipped the water out of my shoes, stuffed everything else in the washing machine and had a shower. Now got a steak and kidney pie and some oven chips in the oven and some nice beer to go with it.

79 miles today, I might have added to it but it became so wet. I can't remember exactly what I covered the day I rode to the Mull of Galloway but I think I did more today so that's my longest ride post accident.

What these people don't realise, is that they rely on every other driver being better than them.
