Surrey Phil May 2023 12:04pm, 4 May 2023 9,328 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Impatient drivers hooting at you for no reason. 1. My wife was targeted 3-4 times by an Asda HGV on Saturday for no reason other than observing the varying speed limits. Number plate and times noted by me in the back seat and complaint logged with the supermarket's head office. 2. Returning from today's school run. Traffic lights had only just turned green and box junction in front. As it happened, there was only enough room for me to pass the box junction and the impatient driver foolishly followed me into it and got stuck. I hope he gets a certain letter through the post for his impatience.

The car in front of me stopped after he cleared the box to let someone out of a parking space, meaning I had to stop in the junction. It was an Easter sunday and there was no traffic to block but I still got a fine.

(2) The elderly person on a mobility scooter who crossed the road on a green light and caused a young driver to do an emergency stop!! People, if you want to stay alive, use a few brain cells!

Number of towels in a pack of sanitary towels now 12 instead of 14 PLUS a 10p increase in price = 25% increase in actual price per unit.
