Yep, totally agree, had to take my missus for some trips recently and there were people smoking outside the Oncology department in York, wife stopped me taking photo, as you say stood right in front of a bloody big sign.

Yeah, always amazed me. Still the hospital is there to solve health issues. It can't do anything about the ability to read or comprehend the signage.

I have seen people out there smoking with a drip. I may be misremembering but I'm sure I saw one with oxygen. Similarly I wasn't allowed to take a picture, even though it would have been the definition of irony.

Been visiting my mum at the RVI for the past 4 weeks during which time we’ve run the gauntlet of the smoking brigade. There is a smoke detector outside the entrance which broadcasts, quite loudly, a no smoking message. However, the transgressors simply move away from the entrance, wheeling their drips and tubes as they go. It would be funny if not so sad......and woe betide if you dare say anything!

Shame you can't unplug them from the drip. It's the NHS fault for putting then on wheels...

I'm sat on the quiet zone on a train, phone on silent no music playing but a baby screaming is OK apparently.

Last time that happened I got the mum crying too after asking her to take the brat into a noisy carrige where it could scream with the students.

I think you were the very definition of courteous in that instance. I would've asked her to gather up her noise maker and then invited her to exit the train between stations ;)

People who think smashing a glass bottle in the cycle path is funny or acceptable... badly lit so I couldn't see it either and then I heard the pop. Only six miles from home at 10pm...

Changed to Kevlar lined tyres when I had thorns through front and rear tyres. Cost about 50% more but not had a puncture since.

I just cannot understand the mentality of why someone who do that. Whenever I have seen that I just thought it was someone smashing things for the sake of it, never entered my mind that someone would have done it deliberately to sabotage cyclists. We are an unfathomable species at times.

Was driving through town yesterday evening and I heard a little kid shout to his father, "Wow. A Lamborghini."
I really wanted to stop and ask the father to please, educate his son on the obvious differences between a Countach and a GrandTurismo, as well as make him aware that a gentleman wouldn't be seen alive or dead in a Lamborghini ;) Alas, I was too shocked to stop in time and that poor little kid is condemned to wallow in ignorance, perhaps for the rest of his life :eek:

Woman driver on the M25 in lane 2 already over taking an LGV, and I move into lane 3 to over take her. She decides to move into lane 3 with nothing to overtake in Lane 2 right in front of me. It's 5:30 in the morning there's little traffic around, so she gets fullbeam headlights in her rear view. Nothing, I draw up along side her, just a zombie staring ahead. I move in front of her and slowly slow down to 50mph, she's slows down to 50 mph but doesn't try to overtake or anything. I accelerate to 70mph (!) and in my rear view she's still doing 50 with traffic having to move across three lanes to over take her.

Motorway Zombies into room 101 please.
