White van man what are you doing?

Post by audi_driver79 » Thu Mar 24, 2016 2:17 pm

Happened this morning on my way back in the '6 after getting petrol. I would like to add that my ABS warning lights are still on too!

I agree most probably one of our foreign workers. God knows where and if these people have passed their driving test. I have seen some atrocious driving in the more seedy parts of Cov from drivers who don't look native born and bread Cov pips.

Dear God what a tool! Get on the Amey Facebook and Twatter and post it, that'll wake them up!!

I was considering Malton, then I looked at the forecast which turns out resembles a saggy old otters pocket. Plus the Easter meet is fast becoming a scene out of AliG in da house - kinda lost its appeal in the last couple years.

Anyone remember Rhona Mitra? Wonder what happened to her. She was on the front of one of the first FHM magazines (RIP) that I bought as a hungry teenager

She's still an actress, mainly TV now with a B-List movie every now and again. She stopped doing A-List bit parts back in the late 2000's.

Seem to remember 'All Saints' & Gillian Anderson on mine rather than her. I have a feeling this thread is being hijacked. ...

BTW I tweeted Amey the video, they have a company policy on targeting zero accidents or injuries.....
