We stopped doing it because of the re work cost, the OEM's didn't put them in and it was down to the distributor to do it as "value add" But the retailers decided they wanted a lower cost price and that it was better to sell you one for £10 when they actually cost 80p.

That would be the typical Paul Greengrass film then? Just keep the feckin' camera still you knob!king annoying and st.Another annoyance that I was reminded of again today: excessive courtesy. i.e. People who go out of their way to be courteous and "help" you but actually make things a damned sight worse. e.g. When waiting to turn right (major to minor) and the last car in the line of opposing traffic stops and flashes his lights like mad. Why? There is nothing behind you! Just take your priority, drive past, GTF out of the way and let traffic flow as it is supposed to. There is no need for you to stop and let me across. I'll go when *I* decide it is safe, not you. All you have achieved is to hold everyone up.

I was sat in a traffic jam for ages earlier and what was the cause?
That's right, utter spackers using only the right hand lane about 6pm on a feckin' Saturday. Those in the left hand lane that had reached the start of the bus lane had stopped dead and sat there with their feckin' indicator on trying to join the other spastics in the right hand lane, blocking those of us behind who can actually read!

Or conducting an interview, and instead of pointing the camera at the subject, they stick a blue lamp in the corner, shining on the wall, under a desk, casting the subject in shadow, and then point the camera at a mirror on the wall, and we have to watch the interview in the mirror.king annoying and st.Ganglandboss said:

Mate of mine got stopped by the police once for driving in a bus lane. Out of bus lane hours. And... right under one of those signs.Mate points out he's allowed. Copper says "well we're not allowed to use them, so I'm dead sure you're not." Mate says nothing, just points at sign. Copper goes away feeling three inches tall

He was lucky the old Bill didn't take his car to bits there and thentheaps he drives. I went round to visit him once and found him "repairing" the sills on his brush-painted-with-house-paint Lada with newspaper and Isopon. I can't remember if that was the car he had at the time but if it wasn't it would have been something equally shagged.Do you ever feel like you are the ONLY person left in Britain who engages the handbrake and selects neutral while waiting in a queue or at lights? For the last week I've been commuting across the city and have been blinded by the brake lights of EVERY SINGLE CAR in front of me as they sit there with their foot on the brake.
