My my, we've been rather sarcastic and disparaging lately, haven't we?

Always a pleasure to read your posts though. I don't think I've ever done so without smiling inwardly. As well as being funny, your posts have a sincerity and honesty about them...with you there's none of this silly lying, pretending to care about safety in order to give motorists a hard time, etc which we get from some of the posters who tend to agree with you (now who could I be referring to?)

And I did enjoy reading the rant on your website about the parking provision for motorists in Leatherhead..."Oh, the terrible unfairness of it all, making someone park a whole 100m away from the shops in a free car park"...most amusing...you're probably right in that case actually, but if only all restrictions on the motorist were anywhere near that trivial or necessary.
