Ah yes, the schools must of restarted today, as instead of the nice empty roads between home and work all there was, was chaos and 4x4's. I'm not yet sure what gives parents the right to park in the centre of the road to drop their kids off at school, blocking everything up for miles around, but it's bloody annoying that's for certain.
There was this one woman in one of those massive Volvo tanks, you know the ones, a bit like the Volvo estate (very good car) but has been given vast amount of steroids and drinks fuel at the rate of an oil rig for every hundred miles. The sort of car that could run over a child and you wouldn't realise. Anyway, having dropped off her child (singular) was attempting a three point turn in this behemoth.
As you can imagine she struggled.
Needless to say, had she been driving something smaller (like a Toyota Yaris, like I was driving), the turn would have been quick and easy, what with the fact that a Yaris isn't as long as a road is wide.
Not to mention that smaller cars are cheaper, more fuel efficient* and generally look nicer.
* - efficient - a prime example that 'I after E, except after C isn't always true!!
