Yeah, Bratty. You want to try driving round London for a bit. Then you'd see how courteous people can be.  I've driven occasionally around the city, and I'm always remarking to my passengers how other drivers wave and give friendly gestures, love to compliment me on my driving skill, all the while serenading me with their vehicle's horn.

Yep, having driven from North of Inverness (more northern than you Bratty), to as far South as London, they are certainly more polite up North. +1 for you not driving until you have had more lessons to, esp as far as following the highway code when driving.

aha but ive seen you drive on quite a number of occasions and I can safely say you are not a "moray" driver Im fed up though seeing these drivers act the way they do here, its horrible and makes my blood curl  oi I live at the same northerly level as Inverness (only about an hours drive away) but Inverness people (in general as always mind) are really friendlier people, the vibe in the city is good and the accent is good too. I think London less polite cos I remember my dad saying to get anywhere in London you HAVE to "barge" your way in places if that makes sense?

Yes but I said North of Inverness, and London is not the only southern place where it is quite rude

You certainly have to be a bit more proactive when deploying your vehicle down here. I’m not sure if “barging” is the right word. You need to be more alert and quick with the brakes* and gas at times. * Brakes - the middle pedal. You know - the one that stops you accidentally driving into fields

Neither am I, but the common sense pedal has yet to be invented.

Didn't you see the item in the rules about attending the "comedy for non-comedians" course?

Head feeling better, I take it, or are we still in the wild and crazy land of concussion?
