Things that boil ye

[jj]

Things that get on your wick for nae particular reason...or maybe their is a reason, anyway get it off ya chist.

drivers that dinnae indicate, for some reason the bigger more expensive cars these days dont come with indicater lights...or are we just too fn smart we dont need to bother?

Them gadgies that fly their remote control aeroplanes on the cliffs by the golf course! nae reason, i just hate them.

people who pick their dogs crap up but leave the bag ! whats that aboot?

I have noticed the problem with drivers not indicating.

I think part of the problem is that Berwick is a small town, and certain drivers think "everybody knows that I go to xxxx, so I don't need to indicate".

Often this is compounded by the driver indicating after they have completed the manouevre, a bit like doing the paperwork to confirm it is complete.

It is also a widely known fact that Berwick Taxis are exempt from all normal motoring laws, do not need to indicate, are not subject to speed limits, and are allowed to park anywhere.

4x4s always have priority at junctions.

Lines on the road, either yellow or white, are purely for decoration.

Red lights at traffic lights only apply if somebody is actually on the crossing at the time.

If you put your hazard warning lights on you are allowed to park anywhere, it says that in the Highway Code.

If you approach a mini roundabout at speed you have right of way.

waking up and remembering you left your car at Berwick last night .............bollox
Good points Tweedsider, must brush up on my highway code i didnt know that about the red light

[grumpy]

neither did i lol

[boozysuzi]

is Tweedsider no being "sarky " about the red light !!!!! no offence Tweedsider i am in no way insinuating you are a sarky person but i just cannot think of the right word .youre right about the taxis too .

[tweedsider]

No, it's definitely in the Highway Code, I've not seen it myself but 2 taxi drivers, a scrap man, and a window cleaner told me.

And they would know.

[jj]

must be true then taxi drivers knaw everything, and you can park in sommerfields for nowt if its raining and use the disabled spaces if you own a 4x4 or have a pretend gammy leg

[boozysuzi]

lol---so berwick has its own rules and regs then !!!!

[boozysuzi]

like when you canna get an appointment wi your Doc for 3/4 weeks . then the receptionist says try phoning after 8 in the morning for an emergency app. when you ring next morning you canna get through for first 20 minutes and when you do get through they say --sorry all emergency apps are gone , you should have called at 8 grrrrrrr ! then in desperation i say -well ill just have to have a home visit they say -hold on a minute , could you come at 2 o clock !!!! really boils me .

[tweedsider]

Gammy legs, now there's another thing.

No wonder we get so many tourists here, it's like the old days with the Spa Well at Spittal. The town must be famed for the magical and health giving properties of the local waters.

I see folk going in to pubs in the town walking with sticks and crutches, then hours later they walk out with all their aches and pains lifted from them.

One bloke even came in to my shop and had to come back next day in his motability car to collect the stick that he had forgot he needed.

And when one chap got out of his wheelchair to have a closer look at something, I don't know who got the biggest surprise, me seeing him, or him realising he'd been seen!

[jj]

love the Tweedmooth doctors receptionists, so highly trained they can decide if you need a doctor by the sound of your voice...........just answer the phone, take appointments and make the coffee your a RECEPTIONIST!

[grumpy]

na it's the weatherspoons beer i always see loads of sticky's outside having a fag

[tweedsider]

Wetherspoons seems an ideal stopping off point for those heading over the bridge to Jobcentre, Bookies, and Battery, who beed to rest their weary limbs.
