When people say the letter 'o' in place of "zero." I correct them every time.

Why do they also build large monuments like the angel of the north, the kelpies at Falkirk, the large and quite stunning 'Angel of the Nauld' next to motorways or major roads?
(pictured)at Cumbernauld,they have since become 'hold up' areas as people gawp at them and hold the traffic up particularly at rush hours.What where the planners thinking?

When there is a massive queue to join the slip road, and arseholes just drive all the way up to the start of the queue and force themselves in.

I just had this on my way to work. There was a giant flashing sign with an arrow telling people to merge due to a lane closure. You could see it a mile away. Lo and behold there are morons waiting right in front of the sign to get over. I looked one girl right in the eye and said, "not today!"

Of course, if everyone worked together to merge sensibly and cooperatively, folk could approach in either lane at a decent speed and not suffer massive tailbacks. But that will never, ever happen.

I've witnessed one successful freeway merger in my entire life. Everyone flowed perfectly into the flow and we did not lose speed. This morning however, I see their cars zoom past only to see them slamming on the breaks in front of the sign because they do not get that we're only doing 50 in the lane and they cannot squeeze in at 75. Morons.

It might be that I misunderstand the situation, but around here you're obligated to let those people join the road (they have priority). From a transport economic view it's the most effective to let them drive to the end and then they can join the road. This way you have the most optimal traffic flow.

I mean this situation. The left one is correct. Right one wrong. If you don't do the left one, you get fined. [the same situation with a flashing sign; they have priority]. There are exceptions; certain situations on highways and such.

That's correct for a lane merger and makes sense. This was construction equipment set up with barrels all around letting you know miles in advance that the lane is closed and to prepare accordingly. The people that drive fast up to that point are just trying to get ahead of everyone and have no care in the world for the proper flow of traffic so long as they save 2 seconds on their commute.

Contrary, they delay everyone including themselves because they have had to come to a complete stop, thus the lane they are joining has to stop to accommodate them. But I honestly don't know the rules of the road since I grew up in the Washington, DC area. If you ever drive here you will understand what I mean.

Went to tesco yesterday and bought what ended up being the nicest yohurt i have ever had. Danilo extra thick protein blueberry yoghurt. 50p as well. was lovely, nice treat seeing as though i didn't feel hungry enough to eat all my salad.

Went back today looking forward to buying another. Sold out.....

bought a greek natural strained yoghurt with honey in it, began with a F, FAGO or something. Was probably one of the worst i have ever eaten, just wasn't right, spent over a quid on it as well!

Oh in the case of the barrels and the flashing thing they would still have priority around here.

I believe the rules around here state: 1)You're obligated to drive as far as you can on the lane you're currently on.
2)At around 300 meters before the obstacle you're obligated to adjust your speed to the lane next to you.
3) The vehicles on the other lane start making room for the other vehicles
4) At the end brake and merge without disruptions.

They made these rules because the Belgian roads have the worst traffic in Europe. Quick google:

In the situation you describe though; the antisocial elements are slowing everyone down so I understand your predicament.

Also is your alcohol situation better?

Those strained yogurts are hideous.

Try the Yeo Valley Greek ones, they're amazing.
