Mother fucking motorway matrix signs. They spends months and god knows how many £££ to put the things in, causing traffic chaos, and for what. Absolutely nothing that's what. Completely pointless.
I mean take today for example. All the way from Chippenham -> West Swindon "50 - Caution Pedestrians on Road". Pretty serious stuff. Except there weren't any, unless the sodding pedestrians walked at 80 Mph and out walked me.
Then there is the frequent "40 - queue caution", I guess 2 cars within half a mile is a queue of sorts.
Either give us proper information or don't bother you bastards.
I agree,though i must admit the queue signs do a good job around busy junctions slowing traffic down especially if there is a serious bend on the road. |

The matrix signs are shit. Hate the '40 - Congestion ahead' warning make me want to go on some massive diversion as I hate queuing, only to stay on the motorway and find there's no congestion. I think they're put on timers.

Driven up the m5/m6 a few times recently - find those signs very frustrating, warning me of things that aren't even happening |

I wish that was the case coming back from Preston yesterday, unfortunate they were bang on. |

Buying one thing and being attempt to be sold bundles of guarantees, add ons, offers and blah blah.
And on a related noted, moving house and the rental agency a) emptying my wallet for the graciousness of handing over some keys and doing sod all and b) handing over my phone number for other weasel laden outfits to sell me further weasel things.

Woman shopping in West Swindon Asda,both her girls [not twins] in the same clothes,could have been school uniform i suppose but i doubt it.Mum weaing hot pants.Fair enough its hot and she looked far better in them than i would,but to shop in? The low wall in the park next to the school that for the second time in about a month has had dog shit on it.Makes me think,does the dog do it on purpose,has it been trained?Or is it just some utter idiot who thinks its funny to place dog shit on a wall near a school? Sometimes i find myself hating it here,then i remember i come from Didcot and remind myself i really can't be that judgemental  |

Twats at the recycling tip this afternoon holding up a line of cars just so they could park in the precise bay they wished to offload in even though there were around 4 or 5 empty. It's not that flaming difficult to walk a few extra paces, it's so lazy and holds people up unnecessarily.
