Yes of course, it is scheduled to take place in about 10 years.

I have no expectations of my OH... so he cannot disappoint me!

My stairs will not look anything like this... but a girl can dream!

I have been playing freezer tetris this afternoon, with some success - even managed to fit in a couple of the M&S ready meals from the fridge. But I have had to tape up one of the drawers with brown packing tape so that the front doesn't burst off when I open the door:)

I used another m7s voucher yesterday so now my chest freezer has a bag of cat litter on top to help keep it closed

That would be a first!

He is lovely really, but likes to plod at his own pace and never thinks by such a date this will be done... He drives me mad at times, as I am a list person, and would stay up until something is done.... but I would not alter him one bit!

Apologies for the delay (internet going off again), and no offence taken.

You are correct. The lorry must have been over 7.5 tonnes. I was concentrating on cars with caravans, and lorries, on motorways and cars with caravans on single carriageways. Otherwise, why would I pay attention to speed limits that don't affect me as they don't apply to my vehicle?(:rotfl:) (:rotfl: as of course it does affect my vehicle as to what speed other vehicles on the road can do.)

There was a difference between doing 40 in a 60* (and we've all seen cars doing 40 mph along country national speed limit roads - the overall point that was being made, although I used a bad example) and me sometimes doing 55-60 in a 70 zone. The 70 miles per hour being a dual carriageway, where I can just let other vehicles pass - and other vehicles can pass safely - while attempting to conserve fuel for myself. As opposed to a single carriageway road at places where those behind you can't overtake.

* Of course it isn't really a 60 mph zone: as has been pointed out, different speed limits apply to different vehicles - which is why it is "national speed limit" and different speeds applying to different vehicles: you are right, I should have been more pedantic:eek: in my post rather than having been continually made to suppress my natural pedantry over many years of not wanting to appear to be the accurate swot that I was/am/aim to be. Pedantry sometimes (or often:D) annoys others does it not? Which is why, you see to avoid annoying others, I've sort of actively become less pedantic than my true self, by changing my behaviour so as to comply with social acceptabilities that all 'you lot' force on me!:T(:rotfl:) I should be more accurate rather than drive (no pun intended) out of my depth.

As you said, I think it was just a bad example! Nothing wrong with pedantry. I ask because people driving slow does my head in, particularly your example of 40mph on a 60mph on a single carriageway. In my opinion its more dangerous than fast driving, as it forces people to either wait behind them, or perfore dangerous overtaking moves.

As for your other example, about whether to comply with a constable giving direction to go through a red light and having difficulties with that, would it help to think that the red light was broken? A police officer is unlikely to just set up in the middle of the road and direct people through red lights without an extremely good reason (they don't have a death wish!) and it would be usually down to broken traffic lights, or something like having to manouvere traffic carefully round a blockage or accident.

Edited to say, thanks for answering the question savvy!
