In saying that, there's fewer tootler cyclists around today!

That must have been the busiest I have ever seen it coming through Cheadle tonight, was a filtering machine as I passed scores of cars
Back with a vengeance this morning. Temporary traffic lights in Cuckfield, of course they've had the whole summer to do the work but let's wait until the schools go back, Chummy in a white Audi A5 rides his horn all the way through the road works because, no doubt if I 'get out of his way' the six cars in front are going to do what, evaporate?
W-Panzers.
Look mate are you surprised they won't let their kids walk or cycle to school,there are some right loonies out there.
Do you manage to fit through the gaps?
I agree. I wouldn't let my 5 and 7 year old kids walk to school on their own (the missus walks them). I despair when I see the Mums on my street taking their kids to the local Primary school. F'Gawds sake, it's less than 200 yards away, but the fat Mums take their fat (or soon to be fat) kids in the car.
I suspect it is because your commute doesn't end in another town, nor is it routed along a rat run used by folk coming to and from the A23. What, for instance, is the longest regular traffic queue on your commute?I'm amazed how much worse the motorist attitudes appear to be on your commute compared to mine, despite the fact that we are starting from approximately the same place. I have some temporary road works to deal with now near the care home on the Sussex/Surrey border but I haven't had any impatient drivers beeping their horns at me. Very odd.
They still don't need to try and park in the school foyer - friend of mine used to drop her kids off on the way to work, she would park about 5 + mins walk away and then walk with them the last bit to school.It's possible they are dropping the kids off en-route to somewhere else and thus it is more time efficient to do this than walk the kids to school, walk back then drive to wherever they were ultimately going.
