People throwing cigarettes and other s@@@ out the car windows on the motorway when riding behind on a motorbike.

Saving HARD for a house deposit, finally thinking I have enough, go through the mortgage application and get accepted.

Then find out houses and flats in Aberdeenshire are going for £20-50k above valuations  :scared:

So now I have to save for the over valuation price

As is just about everything else..£4.85 for a pint of john smiths...in a pub, on my last visit!

Och..but the wages aren,t too bad either, enough to attract quite o few of us from the SW to work up there.
Beats selling pasties and ice cream for a living!

I thought Winchester had extortionate beer prices but £4.85 is bloody ridiculous  :stupid:

I have a theory beer gets cheaper the higher up the high street you go. Royal Oak isn't too bad but my favourite is still the Exchange.

Think you're right there, I've not tried the Exchange - good opportunity to drag the guys out for a beer to try it out!

F*cking Kn*bhead motorcyclists blasting down the inside of you on the M/Way at about 80-90mph, bloke on the M1 on Sunday was literally about a millisecond away from death as the car in front pulled over just after he'd passed, not only could he have ended up in thousands of pieces the carnage he could have caused around him would have been dreadful. :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

Car drivers hogging the middle lane doing 60 - 70 mph. Causes congestion, and the inside lane ends up empty apart from a lorry or two.

Realistically, if you intend to drive at the speed limit the opportunity to drive in the inside lane is pretty much non existent as it's full of lorries slipstreaming at 56mph. Even If you do get a chance to drop into the inside lane it's only for 20seconds.

The real issue is people who overtake in the outside lane at 70.1mph and take hours about it. Although it's illegal, I still want to drive at 80, people often think they're doing nothing wrong because they're doing 70 in the outside. :(

This was nothing to do with lane hoggers etc, the motorway was busy but all 3 lanes operating as they should, this inside was full of slower moving vehicles, middle (including myself) moving at approx 65-70ish passing, and the outside lane moving quicker, there was absolutely no excuse for him to do what he did....other than he's a dick that was in a hurry.
