I’ll get to the subject matter in a minute.

Let me just say that today was a bit hectic. I have been vinyl cutting, designing, drawing, printing, and doing various bits and pieces today – it seemed so rushed. That is, until the end of the day when it started to slow down thankfully. Keefe gave me a lift home from work, thanks Keefe.

I needed something to eat, so I went shopping. Ten minutes at most to walk to the Co-op, I was thinking of a chicken (but there weren’t any). On the way, there is a one way road, lets say the traffic goes left as I go to the shop. There is one road intersecting from opposite me, and the road I walk along too, so two roads T-junction at this one-way road. It was moderately busy I suppose. Listening to Oasis on the way on my iPod, I look up to the traffic coming towards me, seeing if I can get across. I look over to the opposite road and this old guy in a new car, and I mean -old- old, and I do mean -new- new – just pulls out, INTO the one way traffic.

I just stood there watching this old fart just drive happily along right into traffic. Everyone on the side of the road just stared as he went trundling along. It was like something out of Benny Hill. The oncoming traffic just moved out of the way, and the first driver I saw was dumbstruck, just watching this old codger just go by.

Anyway. THIS is the reason that the United Kingdom has repeated driving tests for the elderly, at somewhere around 70 I think, or maybe older. I think it’s a good idea. Well worth it.
