My optician told me there are many young and old who are unable to read beyond the second line on his test board .. yet they do drive. So when a car comes towards you remember they not see where they are going or you! .. heck.
Excellent idea! Much better fun than sponsoring the annual duck race. Instead of Rotary taking from you, you can now send them by sea on one of their exchanges. Who cares a toss about twinning anyway
i know this is old news but y the hell cant we get a bus direct to torquay anymore! grrrr!
Calling the pot black... Anon you say 'stick your knives' well you just had a go at people who are disabled with blue badges, are you envyous of them? People won't be going to the new supermarket will they if its half the size of Newton. Is for holiday people. If Dawlish does use it .. will make history.

Safety wise, you dont hear many of them crashing, this is because of the training ...
i think you will find that their wages are £39,000 a year and these tanker drivers are skilled people. They have a lot of responsibility to deliver huge amounts of fuel safely to the countries forecourts.
