Stonehenge

Coming back yesterday, horrible wet conditions. Bumper to bumper, stop start driving for about an hour. As soon as you get into the dip just pass Stonehenge it all starts moving, it's all clear !

The only reason I could see for this was people slowing down to drive pass some old stones.

It put an hour on my journey time :(

Roadworks, namely when two lanes go down to one. You are entitled to drive all the way up to the point where the lane closure starts , there isn’t a 100 yard no go zone before it , that bit is before the roadworks and open. Also the bellend who’s in the lane that remains open but drives half his vehicle in the lane that closes ahead preventing drivers getting past

You’ll catch a few with that post.

Yes of course I wash my hands after a shit or piss. That is sensible, being so frightened of touching things isn't. I rarely have colds or other illnesses and I put that down to acting normally. I touch handrails the lot. Your body needs germs to produce immunity.

The only place I avoid is the bar in the Grey Horse, well you do have to take some precautions.

You manage to avoid that bar by means of not buying any beer, letting the Glory Hunting tourists buy instead

Don't go to Venice. I spent the first two days planning a mass murder.

Think yourself lucky you didn't drown.

Spot on! Actually designed like that to have two lanes filtering into one as late as possible, in a one-in-one-go format.

Everyone getting into the main lane early is the slowest way to do it.

A pub I was in yesterday, some scruffy tw*t left a soiled nappy on one of the tables.
I've been going in pubs for 50 years
and never seen that before.
Standards have slipped!

Now that is going too far. Some dirty people will always drag everything down to its lowest level but it is no reason to walk round shit scared of everything.
This morning we went to Sydney Harbour bridge with the grandson. In total we took 5 trains, 8 lifts and went in one cafe. I held onto various railings and supports and sat in loads of seats. I didn't wipe, wash, use Holy water on my hands at any time.
Some would wipe their hands with antiseptic gel after every contact or just driven there to avoid people. It's getting silly, yes I'm looking at you @Bill Walker and your good lady who you clearly are frightened of :-)

I was watching a news programme, early this week, and a female colonial correspondent continually referred to a certain social media platform as

TWIDDER.

The dropping of some of the the "T"s is bad enough, but to replace them with another letter, should be punished by death.

I'd suggest it's the behaviour of a dwad and a dosser.

As in the Monty Python Sketch. He couldn't say the letter C. So used the letter B as in bolour, he was asked if he could say the letter K. 'Oh yes' he replied Khaki Kuwait, Keble Bolledge Oxford' He was told to replace the letter C with the letter K....
'You mean like Kar, ? Oh what a silly bunt I am '

Well I laughed anyway.

Most people don’t use it with that intention though do they ?
The ones I see it’s basically queue jumping because they think it’s beneath them getting in their lane early and waiting their turn, their time is “more important”, ‘entitled’ some might say ;-).

Thus creating huge tailbacks. Who doesn’t need some of them on the M6.

It’s going down to one lane, that isn’t going to change, others have had the foresight and consideration, but my point is, the ones who think they’re entitled to drive right to the end and then push in, they know exactly what they’re doing and it isn’t to help relieve the traffic congestion, it’s them being entitled, as the OP said himself, you wouldn’t let someone walk past you in a supermarket queue and just push in.
