    What makes me laugh is the hoover up right close to the back end of the truck then pull out when it's obvious they can't see anything.

    I stay well back from people like that - I've had bits of plastic spang off my windscreen before...

    We do play little games with tailgaters!
    1) Establish presence of d*ck in BMW
    2) Watch him/her keep poking nose out
    3) Wait until truck approaches from opposite direction
    4) Move slightly to left
    5) Watch as idiot behind thinks they hve a chance, poke nose out.......and swerve back in a bit sharpish:rotfl:

    Or alternatively, just wait until a speed camera appears, then indicate left to encourage them past:D

    Helps the miles go by....
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    I only use one setting....30 degree wash for everything...:rotfl:

    I use 40 for most things, 60 for some things, and 95 for tea towels.

    Only thing I use 30 for is my coat...

    I try to use 30.
    I'm bored. I should be worrying but I'm too laid back to be bottomed.

    Is worrying going to change anything?

    No.

    So what's the point? :confused:

    Worry when it can make a difference.
