Can't remember - hardly any traffic round here! Mind you, there is an idiot who honks at about 4.45 every day as he approaches the bend along the lane. I always think, why don't you just slow down, you ****!!! Angela

Reminds me of the old song, it was fun Beep Beep (The Bubble Car Song) - The Playmates While riding in my limousine What to my surprise A little Bubble Car was following me About one-third my size The guy must have wanted to pass me out As he kept on tooting his horn <sound of horn - beep beep!> I'll show him that a limousine Is not a car to scorn <chorus> I pushed my foot down to the floor To give the guy the shake But the little Bubble Car stayed right behind He still had on his brake He must have thought his car had more guts As he kept on tooting his horn <sound of horn - beep beep!> I'll show him that a limousine Is not a car to scorn <chorus> My car went in to passing gear And we took off with gust And soon we were doing ninety Must have left him in the dust When I peeked in the mirror of my car I couldn't believe my eyes The little Bubble Car was right behind You'd think that guy could fly <chorus> Now we're doing a hundred and ten It certainly was a race For a Bubble to pass a limo Would be a big disgrace The guy must have wanted to pass me out As he kept on tooting his horn I'll show him that a limousine Is not a car to scorn <chorus> Now we're doing a hundred and twenty As fast as I could go The Bubble pulled alongside of me As if we were going slow The fellow rolled his window down And yelled for me to hear 'Hey buddy how can I get this car out... of... second gear!' <chorus> Beep beep <sound of horn - beep beep!> Beep beep <beep beep> His horn went beep beep beep <beep beep

Angela, he has probably been for Advanced Driving Lessons I went to one, it was part of a package when I got a new car, and they are great believers in tooting. They even told me to too when I saw a horserider ahead, to let him know I was there!!!! It was about then I decided the lessons were not for me White van drivers, I was always told to steer well clear of them Kim ;-)))))

btw Dee whoever told you to toot anywhere near a horse and rider was completely mad.....

I would've thought tooting is the last thing you do when approaching a horse!!! I just slow, almost to a standstill. Thinking again about tooting in general, by the time I've thought of honking someone, they've long gone!!!! Angela
