What a week!

Berrybunny

My eyes have been crazy sore this week and the vision blurry so I have to go back to the eye hospital again on Tuesday. More torture coming I fear.

The water company switched the water off for hours which resulted in a meltdown.

And to top it all I got a fine through the post because I drove in the bus lane and this rotten camera photographed me doing it. HOWEVER I had a good reason. An ambulance with blue flashing lights I hasten to add was speeding up the road so I thought I best give way, to help them save a life.

I appealed it and had the rudest response ever in which Kim replied

We acknowledge your reasons for entering the bus lane how ever you still did it there four the penalty still stands

Her manner in the email was appalling as was her spelling, not just in that one line. I will be taking this further, no longer bothered about paying the fine but for her attitude.

I'm tired. Ugh what a week.

  • Sorry to hear that. Seems like a perfectly good reason to me, not sure why they are so heavy handed with people trying to do the right thing. Then you e got mindless drivers who seem to be able to do what they want. Makes me want to roar….

    Tell me about it. Seems the majority can do what they want when they want, and never seem to get caught. Nearby where I live there's this black Ford that's being driven by two young men who drive very dangerously and frighten pedestrians, and they have been reported dozens of times and they are still out and about driving. I saw them on Wednesday revving at people. It's crazy.

    Crazy but that seems to be the way of things at least to me. I’ve read Bunny’s message above and  seems to me like a rule that makes little sense. There should be allowances for certain situations  I would have done exactly same as you and wouldn’t have considered the rules around bus lanes. 
    I hate driving these days it just gets worse and worse. I try and follow the rules whereas quite a number of drivers don’t. I almost got taken out a traffic lights the other day when I a car flew through a red light. If I hadn’t  looked before setting off on green I dread to think. It’s very rare for me to not end up losing it with some driver on a journey. I need to find a way to keep calm. 
    anyway sounds like you have a nice day planned, enjoy
