Going shopping first thing this morning.

Then I will concentrate on getting the Limo up to scratch for tomorrow's trip up to Ragley Hall, we are not going to the POL, we are going straight to Coughton Hall, a National Trust property, then back to the hotel for the night, then just down the road to Ragley, on Monday we will be travelling up to Nottingham and picking up our granddaughter we will be bringing her home for the week.

That's us sorted, what are you up to?.

Exactly, having watched the video, the junction seems clear enough, but the drivers using it fail to observe the give way sign, and look both ways at the crossroads.

For crying out loud Derek what planet are they, are they not aware of your age,
And the op you have had done, kick up Derek tell them you are unable to keep coming to the hospital, if you have the nurses telephone number ring her.

Derek, if its a bank holiday and your GP practice is closed, ring the district nurses who run a twilight out of hours service. The GP or other health has to refer, but do tell them the hospital said they will refer. Mention your age, infirmity your wound etc nicely and ask them for a home visit appointment. The referral might already be on their system. They are usually sympathetic.

They operate out of Leatherhead & Dorking (Central Surrey District Nurses)
01306743363. Day service is a different no. Be lucky!

Good afternoon! This is a great example of how efficient; organised and professional my company is!

What you are looking at here is a Volvo B9TL with Wrightbus Gemini 2 bodywork that has been converted to single door and branded for the Route X26 which goes to Heathrow Airport in er, West London.

Nope........the junction is a nightmare that you can't really see from Les's cameras.
A few years back the one way system in the town had its priorities changed and the new layout has caused most of the problems .

What you saw in that clip is just the tip of the ice burg !

It all stems from dual priority in three of the roads and the one opposite Les being the only part that is one way.

It's very hard to put into words but if you drove down it you would see the problem.
Bad sign posting, road markings, raised central section and limited view from one direction .

Les put the cameras up as he was fed up with the accidents there knocking down his garden wall and cars ending up on his front lawn!!
He has his own Facebook page with all the accidents on there........it's bonkers

That junction long ago should have had traffic lights controlling it .......No doubt that will come to pass after someone is killed there

Next time your down here Richard I'll take you over it, it's only just up the road from the Toby...
It's an awful junction, very poorly sign posted and lack of road marking and very unsighted in one direction !

Yes there are bad drivers compounding the problem but there is pretty much an accident a day there........never happened till the council changed the one way system !
Everyone local tries to avoid the junction like the plague
