At least it was only water. 😣 Revenge will be mine. Although there are lots of white vans about, if, to borrow from Pulp Fiction, I execute every muthaf*ing last one of you, sooner or later I'll get the right one. If you hear of a series of mystery deaths in north London and Herts, linked only by the fact the victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a tatty old Ford Transit... You ain't seen me, right?

And you can get a fixed penalty notice for doing so. In a few cases people have been handed tickets for public order offences after deliberately driving through puddles to target pedestrians. slatergordon.co.uk

Winded Sep 2016 5:21pm, 15 Sep 2016 4,721 posts	Winded Children playing in the road and sitting on my wall - actually I don't mind that but they chuck rubbish in my garden. They live within a minute or so of here and the other day Mrs W put the recycle bin out next to them as it was bin day. They still threw a plastic bottle in the garden instead of putting it in our bin or their bin or something. Today there is an empty tin of Tango in the flowerbed - I don't remember planting a Tango plant. The problem is I don't know which kid threw which bit of rubbish so I can't complain to the parents and I don't want to be the strange mad grumpy man who shouts at kids (any more than I am already).
