Mr and Mrs Postman are waiting for the fog to lift.Yes fog.Then a ride over to Harlow Carr Gardens Harrogate,a tootle in the mist no doubt then lunch in Bettys.How posh and romantic is that.I am just going to renail me old clogs got to look smart for Bettys,I might even get me best muffler and cap out.Or better still have a word with Accy about what is acceptable for a Gentleman having lunch in Bettys.

Last time we went to Betty’s we had to queue to get morning coffee. We had been at a Trade Fair and it seemed one of things you had to do just to be able to say you had been there. Would not have bothered waiting otherwise.

Apparently today is something called St. Valentine's day.

I just learnt that St Valentine was (also) the patron saint of epileptics and beekeepers. I'm not sure that this information is going to be of much use.

I was out driving again today. Can you tell me if the Highway code has been rewritten recently and do I need to get a new copy?

This is a very quiet market town, and the High Street and lots of other nearby streets have signs with "20" on it in very large numbers and outlined in red.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the number refers to speed of traffic? :scratch:

Is that the maximum speed, like wot I thought, or is it the minimum speed?

Furthermore, if a pedestrian is approaching a zebra crossing (no traffic lights) do they need to look both ways before stepping onto the road, or just in the direction of traffic approaching on the side of the road nearest to them?

Just over a year ago now.

Twenty is plenty, maximum speed.

You remember when things were this quiet?
