Sounding off

Anyone drive in down the Walsall Road from Alexander Stadium?

Don't you just love the drivers who speed as far as they can down the inside lane past all we losers queuing for the overpass at One Stop then cut in at the last minute, relying on someone letting them in rather than ramming them - which is closer to what they deserve.

If they tried the same trick in a queue in a shop, a bar, cinema, turnstiles at a match, at the bookies - in fact anywhere outside their car - they would soon find themselves searching the floor for their teeth.

Perhaps the losers in the queue should develop their own car language. When the queue jumpers are spotted perhaps two pips on the horn, one for each finger, and then, if they do force their way in, perhaps four pips, one for each letter, as a sort of audible description of what they are.

It always riles me when people actually let them in.
If everyone stuck together, bumper to bumper, they wouldn't have a chance.
Solidarity people!!!
