Dad and me would meet my uncle in the local pub Sunday evening being droopped off and collected by mum. I recall one winter my uncles mate decribing driving to work in his Yorkshire Electricity Board van and giving a lift to his neighbour whose car would not start. He'd cleared a port hole in the windscreen and drove to work dropping his neighbour off at a Police station on the ay. It was only then that it dawned on him his eighbour was a policeman.... Suppose getting a lift as enough for the officer and he prefered that to offending his neighbour who was getting him to work. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53742 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:38:51 +0000 amir 53742@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hee, hee PALI</p> <p>More advice to drivers, calm down (you impatient blankety blanks) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53735 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:26:50 +0000 PALI 53735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Advice for drivers...........Cycle; do you all the world of good!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53185 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:27:45 +0000 recombodna 53185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53174 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:17:32 +0000 SRD 53174@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@recombodna - the schoolkids' fleece jackets particularly handy? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53172 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:03:37 +0000 recombodna 53172@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I just let the pedestrians and cyclists clear mine as they slide off the bonnet . </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53169 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:51:17 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 53169@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I take this to extremes when clearing the car for Mel. Windscreen, all side windows AND lights. Back screen has usually cleared by that time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5014#post-53164 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:09:54 +0000 chdot 53164@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> L&amp;B Police (@LBP_Police)<br /> 1/16/12 8:00 AM<br /> Very cold this morning. Remember folks, it's a windscreen though, not a porthole, clear your screeen of frost before driving off.</p> <p>" </p>
