In Bradford, our priority worries are cars treating red traffic lights as "not applicable", and morons overtaking whole lines of queuing traffic at speed down the wrong side of the road, then cutting across the front to turn left or go ahead.

Approximately half the cars in Bradford sensibly cut down on fuel wastage by only switching on half the front and rear lights.

I apologise if I caused offence, I know that I should try harder to be understanding of the ways of the 21st century.

Up until this morning I couldn't give a f***, but I have just done my companies 'Equality and Diversity Awareness' online training and I fell like a new man.

Speaking of training I recently completed my companies Business Continuity Training. As part of it we were expected to know and learn what certain procedures were. This one caught my eye:

Disaster Recovery Event (DRE)

An event designed to validated technical recovery procedures and the company's ability to recover its products and services within the RTO and RPO identified in the BIA and documented in the DRP.

I am still trying to work out if whoever wrote it has a sense of humour or was serious.

Probably written by an ex-royal naval engineering officer by the look of it.

I'm more bothered about the feckwits that think a little mist or rain is an excuse to put their fog lights on and dazzle anyone behind them.

Or sitting in traffic with the LED brake lights blazing away!!

What is it with some stupid drivers who think that they can drive at night without putting their car lights on ? Just ignorance or stupidity ?

I haven't had my lights on at 4 o'clock all Summer so I'll be damned if I'm putting them on now.
