Vehicles with lots of panel damage (DILLIGAFFs)
Our Asian friends
Left hand drive articulated lorries

Drunk drivers
Last minute turn left/righters
Sudden unexplainable stoppers?
Can't get through that 12 foot gap stoppers??????????????

Two you missed off there,

Red 59 plate Astra van with too many aerials on it's roof for it's own good
Blue 09 plate VW Transporter van with too many aerials on it's roof for it's own good

Because I'll be driving one or the other of them.  I'm down there every day and will be glad when it's all over, the traffic is getting worse by the day.

and Robbie, I hope you like the temporary missile sites, it's taken us weeks to get the pirate radio stations to stay off them for you.  But if you do see someone on an adjacent tower block roof in the middle of the night, you'll make our job a lot easier if he's taken out with a suitable calibre of bullet......
