Hi,

>If one of them pulls up alongside you at a junction you cant see whats coming until they are gone - had some twat behind me beeping because I was waiting for the behemouth to move so I had a clear view of the junction.

Ummm ... why? When the "behemoth" beside your vehicle pulls out, pull out beside it - if the "behemoth" driver has misjudged an approaching vehicle, that vehicle's going to hit the "behemoth", not yours. Not surprised the driver of the vehicle behind yours was hooting.

I've just returned from a 5-day 1600-mile trip, driving during both day and night. Bright headlamps? Yes, bit of a pain but they soon pass. Narrow parking spaces? So park where it isn't a problem - e.g. not all supermarkets have narrow parking spaces.

What I like is doing what I want without any deadlines (well, I get a bit of earache from swmbo home alone with the dog but someone has to support the lifestyle to which I'm now accustomed ).

If life's a bed of roses, there's going to be some pricks. So FFS get out and [b][u]enjoy[/u][/b] what you have, God knows we'll all be pushing up daisies sooner rather than later.

Regards,
