    Oh for Petes Sake!

    Right, for those who don't know, I live in the UK and (as I'm sure you're aware) we drive on the left.

    I can't go into too much detail, however I'm going to ask the following question.

    If I were to tell you do to the following "Pull forward then after the junction park up on the left" while diecting traffic would you
    a) Do as I asked
    b) Dump the clutch, wheelspin like a bitch and turn right
    c) Flood the engine and sit there
    d) Restart the engine then drive off as is nothing has happened.

    If you chose option d) then you are the driver who will shortly be in rather a lot of trouble...

    What I would like to ask my esteemed CSers is the following question, did my original request make sense?

      I don't think she was, I'm pretty sure she's local to <my town> so I'll be spending a fair amount of time tomorrow looking for her!

          Makes perfect sense to me too. To an idiot, OTOH, nothing does.
          I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

              Yer, our cars are *not* exciting in any way shape or form.

              Thing is if I catch up with her before 24hrs after the event she's untouchable, after then it's a different story.

                    That's okay, I'll leave it a mystery for now. Keeps me interested.

                    (I may PM you tomorrow though. once the mystery has bugged the crap out of me)

                        I don't get handcuffs.

                        But if I did the same job in another part of the country I could.

                            I don't have any type of cuff.

                            In addition I couldn't find the car today either. I'm annoyed.

                              Hmm, the request makes perfect sense to me.

                              Pull forward through the junction then once you're clear of it and not likely to cause an obstruction or be in danger pull over and park.

                              How'd i do?

                              I passed my test 3 years ago and haven't driven since, i like to think i've not forgotten my lessons
