    because when you move up the road the truck is now past the lamp-post on the opposite side of the road, whereas he was pretty much in line with it before...:o

    though I do think it's a bit late to do anything about it now...:)

    He is a gypsy, therefore rules and laws do not apply to him as they are not part of his 'culture'. He therefore is perfectly within his rights to drive with his elbows whilst talking on a mobile phone with one hand, picking his nose with the other, having no seat belt on, and oh his tax is pobably out of date or fraudulent as well.

    Also it's not scrap in the back, its, garden trimmings and a strimmer resulting from a half hour job he's just done for an old lady for which he has charged her £1000 and frogmarched her to the bank for the cash.

    Yeah on his phone, picking his nose, and using no hands on steering wheel.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.

    I have looked for a number of minutes and the must be stopped as it has not moved at all.
  • As the Google camera car was doing the rounds about 2 years ago, we can probably now assume that the phone call has finished.

    Not if he was on the phone to Sky. He's probably still on hold.

  • Awww.... where I grew up.

    Happy times!!!! Anyone remember those plastic hexagon containers piled up in the Town Square? They always had a inch of stagnant water in them. Lovely.

    And the old steam roller in Fairwater. What was that all about?

    And we all went to Fairwater leisure centre at a really young age (no parents, we were chucked out all day in the summer) and used to have competitions who could hold their breath the longest in the deep end.

    It's a wonder anyone survived a Cwmbran childhood, and I won't even mention the quarry up the mountain.

    Can't wait to visit at Easter.

    How do you know the van is even moving?

    He could have stopped to answer the phone.
    Stopped in the middle of the road.
