What nice, polite people

I had to drive into the City today, for an all-day meeting with our
lawyers, as we're getting to that "arguing over minor clauses" bit on
one of my projects, and forewarned is forearmed, and we pay them enough,
so tally-ho.

You are the new me, AICMFF slatings for being dull and pointless.

You don't get it. You never have, and never will.

That's your problem, and I'm not going to make it mine.

Yes dear, you just keep taking the pills.

Five? Sounds like a low estimate to me.

So I logged on and paid the congestion charge, then drove in ... and
blimey, what a difference it makes to overall levels of politeness to
not have poor people cluttering the roads up - people were letting me in
left and right, with a "no, after you" air. It was great.

Plus I had a comedy sat nav moment; "after 150 yards, turn right",
TomTom said - I was a bit puzzled, coz I couldn't see where I was
supposed to turn right ... then "after 50 yards, turn right", and still
couldn't see, then realised it meant into Holborn Viaduct (or whatever
the road is called), which would have been an excellent suggestion ...

... if only it hadn't been 50 feet above me :)

Lucky it didn't put you somewhere in the Pennines, you're just about
enough of a homing pidgeon to have followed it.

I do find the CC has improved matters significantly too. I still think
it's a better idea just to restrict the issuance of licences though.
