The civil servant responsible for increasing the state pension age to 67 is Retiring at 61 with a £1.8 million pension pot he will receive £85000 a year and lump sum of £245000 He's permanent secretary for Department for Works and Pensions. His name is Sir Robert Devereux., shows what the establishment think of ordinary people who can work till they drop while tossers like him just pen push and ruin people's lives.
Ironically, people sticking to the right hand lane on the slip road, forcing me to undertake really gets my goat.

Followed an idiot down slip road who attempted to join lane 1 of M5 at 40mph ffs!
What Gets My Goat?......It would be easier to make a list of the few things that DONT!Politicians,Religions, Brexit, The Media, Cagers, the moronic TV programmes designed to cater for the brain dead, "Celebrities", Spokespersons, Interviewers asking really stupid questions, Facebook,the general dumbing down of everything, the compensation culture, the willingness to blame others for ones own shortcomings etc etc. What a state of affairs
That was YOU in the TVR !?

Desperately trying not to become like Victor Meldrew( At least I still have some hair on my head! )
The reason for poor driving is the lack of dedicated traffic police the politicians can pass all the laws they want but if there's no one to enforce them they are pointless. It appears that they just want to use speed cameras to collect revenue not enforce the laws they pass. Perhaps if they used that revenue to terminate traffic officers we would all be safer on the roads to go much faster.
Scooter twat slowly tried to overtake me this morning as i was doing a right turn?Once the bastard made me jump, i put my right hand out right across his lid and he braked, luckily for him.Then i glimpsed the 'L' plate as he undertook me.It's not being drummed into people enough on real dangerous moves, even on a CBT.I'm not blaming anyone in general, but some people need a lot more training on the road to avoid unnecessary shite.
How about the fast food (usually pizza) delivery guys, on the scooters? It would be debatable if they even sat a CBT!Absolutely ZERO consideration for other road vehicles (cars or bikes) or even traffic lights, etc - on off the pavements. "Helping" give motorcyclists a bad image.

"Helping" give motorcyclists a bad image.I do wonder about the legality of employing someone to deliver stuff who hasn't got a full driving licence.They are licenced to ride (assuming they have done the CBT) with a provisional licence so it is legal even if it doesn't seem right.If any of the riders get injured in an accident, their insurance company may throw a wobbly if the company has not done their own health and safety checks to confirm that the rider is capable though.
I don't care whether the pizza boy is legal or not just so long as he gets here before the pizza goes cold.
Just thinking about your comments BB make me wonder if standard domestic and pleasure insurance would cover delivering pizza or any other commodity, as they are earning a living from the use of the bike and not just using it to get to and from your place of work. Making deliveries sort of make it a commercial thing, I know Churchill will not insure my van I have to go to Budget Van insurance to insure that, I have my Fazer and my Merc insured with Churchill but they will not touch my van.
