I too am amazed at the brazen lies people churn out in the face of all evidence. It makes me despair.Not car related but I remember being in the queue with friends during an obligatory post-drinking session chicken shop venture. It was packed, with a woman in front of us waiting to be served next and a bunch of folks up at the front at various stages of ordering and receiving food. One guy was chewing on his chicken wings and threw one of the bones over his shoulder hitting the lady in front squarely on the chest where it proceeded to shed quite significant amounts of grease onto her dress as it tumbled to the floor. She was understandably pissed off and started having a go at him about it, but despite an entire shop of people witnessing it and telling him such, he flat out denied that he'd done it. Just kept saying 'no I didn't'. I wasn't sure what level of t
ttery to be annoyed at with this guy, but it amazes me how people manage to get so far through life thinking that this is an acceptable way to act.luckystrike said:

I'm sure he will, and that's why I find it such a sad state of affairs.But I am also 95% convinced he will (probably) just laugh and do it again, and again - because he wasn't inconvenienced enough to get through his 'cant-give-a-s

We live in a block of flats (2nd floor) and have benefit morons above us (top floor). They aren't junkies or anything like that - just an ugly, fat, ginger 30 year old and her 56 year old fiance (who is a year younger than me, but could pass for my dad). We sometimes get woken at night by the sounds of noisy sex from above. Not a nice thought 
That's not the main problem. Ever since the family moved in some 5 years ago we have been occasionally inconvenienced by them flooding our bathroom. Bad enough, but this is always as a result of them allowing the toilet to block thereby allowing water, piss and other noxious substances to pour though our bathroom ceiling
The first time it happened (when the girls mum and dad still lived there) they wouldn't open the door. We called the council who sent a plumber. They wouldn't open the door to him and he eventually had to call the police.
Must recent time took the biscuit. Piss starts flooding down and I went to their door. It was answered by ginger bloater.
Me: You are flooding our bathroom.
GB: It isnae us!
Me: Where the f
k do you think the water that is pouring through our ceiling is coming from?GB: Don't know. It isnae us.

In the sequence of photos above, before I knew the (rational?) explanation I read it as the old guy offering a Nazi salute (nonchalantly) whilst at the same time receiving what Gillian Taylforth might have described as 'pancreatic massage' (equally nonchalantly) from a blonde associate.
I was therefore utterly puzzled by the subsequent pics of a peugeot with some shopping in the back, and one of a scuffed bumper.
I hope he does the right thing and pays up. But not only is he a fellatio-on-a-ferry-receiving old Nazi, he is wearing 'paedo-shades' as well so I doubt you will get any joy out of him.

The cretin today leaving the service parking area behind Haymarket House in Basingstoke. Driving a blue Astra, he tried to bully his way across a P-E-D-E-S-T-R-I-A-N-I-S-E-D area at the bottom of Church Street near the Festival Place entrance...
Closest 'Google Streetview' gets... https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.263401,-1.088187...
...he was roughly where the Volvo is, through the archway in the picture, I was walking down Church Street, from right to left as viewed.
WT actual F do you think you're doing, driving AT people??? The clue is in the phrase "pedestrian zone". Further clues are the bollards placed to narrow the neck of the car park to force Muppets like you to line up properly, and drive through SLOWLY. Even more clues are found on the signs, warning you of pedestrians in the road. And seriously? The big theatrical shrug? You can't be suggesting that you're too thick to realise that you need to WAIT for pedestrians to finish walking on it before you try to cross over the P-E-D-E-S-T-R-I-A-N-I-S-E-D zone? Although judging by the wispy ginger fluff you've convinced yourself is concealing three of your chins, you might well be that thick after all. You may well have got a whole lot more than a 'Paddington Bear' stare if I hadn't have been hustling along to avoid being late to meet my wife. Cretin.

There must be someone high up in the Highways agency who is so thick they have to check their emails every day to remind themselves what their name is. Who in their right mind thinks...
"Hmmmm; okay it's the first bank holiday weekend of the the year, kids are off school, people want to go to the seaside, countryside, anywhere that isn't sat in the office or at home. I know let's dig the motorway network up".
...I hope they find the end of their bell in one of those holes!

Digging up roads and inconveniencing people going on their hols doesn't affect the economy as much as inconveniencing those on the way to tax slavery. It's the same with railways."Hmmmm; okay it's the first bank holiday weekend of the the year, kids are off school, people want to go to the seaside, countryside, anywhere that isn't sat in the office or at home.

There is that argument and if you can't leave town because you don't fancy a nine hour drive for twenty miles it supports the local economy I guess; but not getting away effect moral and will subsequently reduce output within the workplace.
Productivity could not get much worse, to be frank. The average British worker doesn't get much done!A female Knob today (Knobess?), who had parked in the disabled bay behind the shops and honestly about 25m from the large car park behind her.
Instead of driving back into the car park to turn her RR around, she decided to pull a full 15 point turn in the road.
While in the middle of turn 13, she decided to stop, completely across the road to check her texts.
I then stood right in front of her and stared until she looked up from her phone, and I made the 'what the feck do you think you're doing?' face at her, and so she dropped the phone and moved away, looking baffled at me, as if I had the problem.

Local road/highways planners made me think 'knob'
A new primary school is bring built near where I live.
The council have surveyed the surrounding roads and have come to the following conclusions about the road adjacent to the school (which comes to a stand still or slow crawl during rush hour). The road has been measured to have an average motorist speed of 35 mph, which was clearly not measured at school times. There will be approx 400 pupils attending the school but the council don't expect many more cars to use the road outside of the school to deliver pupils...........but also said it was impossible to measure how many extra cars would be on the road !!
Due to the road currently being a 30mph zone the council are changing it to 20mph at all times, and are also installing speed cushions either side of a current zebra crossing. A member of the public asked if the speed cushoins would distract drivers from looking at the crossing as they tried to manouvre their car over the cushoin. The council response was that by driving even more slowly drivers would spend more time looking at the crossing. I personally have always observed drivers looking at speed cushoins to line up their car and not looking ahead.
The real lkiller for me was that the council have realised that motorists are stopping during school run times at street corners and on zip zag lines to collect or drop off pupils at a school that is next to the site where the primary school will be built
Their 'cure' for parents dropping off or picking up pupils is to paint double yellow lines at the kerb sides in the area where it happens...............YES, THATS DOUBLE YELLOW LINES THAT ALLOW YOU TO COMPLETELY LEGALLY STOP AND PICK UP OR DROP OF PASSENGERS.........you couldn't make it up. Maybe they think motorists are too thick to know what a solid white line at the kerbside means lol.
Oh, and in response to another public question the council have said they have NO plans to monitor or enforce speeding or parking in the area.

Interesting stuff
We have to do first aid refreshers and were told pretty much the same thing - if it's at the stage where you're doing CPR on someone then their survival chances are very slim (something like 1%?). Apparently though if you can keep their brain oxygenated by doing the compressions it helps fill the gap until the professionals arrive with the defibrillator. I'm told the worst thing is when paramedics turn up and nobody has tried to do anything in between, but can't say I've ever been in that situation (and a hope not to be)!xRIEx said:

1. Waiting and parking (238)
238
You MUST NOT wait or park on yellow lines during the times of operation shown on nearby time plates (or zone entry signs if in a Controlled Parking Zone) – see ‘Traffic signs’ and ‘Road markings’. Double yellow lines indicate a prohibition of waiting at any time even if there are no upright signs. You MUST NOT wait or park, or stop to set down and pick up passengers, on school entrance markings (see ‘Road markings’) when upright signs indicate a prohibition of stopping.

R did not mention any such signs, so there are only double yellow lines. You cannot park or wait on them, but you can drop off!1. Waiting and parking (238)

https://www.gov.uk/waiting-and-parking/waiting-and...
Read it again. It's split into two sections and actually says you must not stop to board or alight passengers on school markings https://www.gov.uk/waiting-and-parking/waiting-and...
What is doesn't say is that you must not stop to board or alight passengers on double yellow lines.
It's interesting to note that many bus stops feature double yellow lines for this exact reason.
Edit.
Our posts crossed. The entire sentance you put in bold is for zig zags/school entrance, not double yellow lines which were dealt with in the preceding sentance.
