The high vis on the parcel shelf or wrapped on the passenger seat is a whole discussion in its own right. Also why do Highways Agency Discovery drivers always drive wearing the high vis winter coat? Is the heating broken?

There's one of the absolute aholes in Chesham who barges round the town in his very walt-spec defender. Nevermind 'helping' with incidents he nearly took the front of my car off the yesterday because he doesn't seem to understand the highway code.

Absolute cocknuggeting fkwhit idiot straggly bearded tramp man.

All our jackets are hi-vis, we have a lightweight mesh bomber jacket, a gortex bomber jacket and a goretex storm coat, I only wear the storm coat if I'm out of the car in heavy rain for extended times. Oh, and we drive shoguns as well as BMW X5s in the near future, we will be called police walts then!

Let's get it right. You mean the LMBJ, the GBJ, and the GSC. We haven't got time to mess about with entire words when a TLA is both to-the-point (TTP) AND exclusive.

^ Sounds like cracking idea for a series but as with such shows on Discovery, who would sponsor it?

if we're going to get it right: you've got a FLA there with your TLAs!

[BossHogg]

Yeah, you tell him! At least all my TLAs were TLAs!

[BossHogg]

LMBJ could be shortened to LBJ.

[wolfracesonic]

What about LGBT? Surely Walting should be inclusive?
