Confusion and annoyance - care labels on clothes. I was a load earlier that included a couple of rugby shirts and a couplpe of pairs of chinos. I usually avoid the tumble dryer if possible but needed them dry quickly and on checking the labels on two rugby shirts that appear to be the same materials one could go on a hot setting and the other was do not tumble dry. Same with the two pairs of chinos. Obviously I just chucked them all in on the basis that if it was OK for one it would be fine for the other.

There are many things that intrigue me about motorists, but today it was box junctions. Drivers who get stuck in them seem to have panic attacks and desparately honk their horns in an attempt to blame someone else. Why are they aware of them on exit, but on entry seem to not notice them?

Is it evil of me that I actually enjoy their discomfort as they realise that the lights have changed and they are now blocking the perpendicular road, and can go neither back nor forwards to get out of the way, while I can get past on my bike?

We don’t have public information films anymore to tell us about the big hand…

I remember quits a few pifs from my childhood, they were either like this one fun and cartoony, or downright scary. Either way the message always hit home.

Hope you’ve remembered what Charlie said?

I’ve certainly always avoided trying to get my frisbee back when it gets stuck in an HV transformers. We could do with the Green Cross Code man back though as stop, look and listen has been replaced with walk straight across while listening to music and messing about on your phone.
