Amusing Email from my fiance first thing this morning when she arrived at work summing up the driving experience in london at the moment...

"No probs apart from the hateful people even cyclists take their lives in their hands just to be infront of the car………….. want to get the bus!!!"

My response
"I assume you pulled in front of them and gave a couple of blips of the throttle. I find the flames freak them out"

and her reply...
"Not your fault, I pulled right up their squeaky wheeled bum and hooted the horn really loud and long, frightened his tiny mind into oblivion…I hope….the hand gesture seemed to suggest so !!"

I never thought I would hear the day she opted to take the bus. She has even stopped asking for us to get a "different car" altogether so it must be bad! Roll on the weekend!

I dont have too many problems with driving in London. I must admit I have a planned route to a carpark that I know charges £8 for the whole day and is secure (near the Modern) then I get a taxi!

I wish my horn would frighten people - I beep my horn and people look around for noddy!
