When I'm driving, I like to let the first person out on Monday morning. That gets it over and done with for the rest of the week....In Oban there is a street coming from the retail park on to the main road with a halt sign. Most local cars let one car out and this seems to keep traffic moving and everybody is happy.
Print the pages that you need, most printers let you decide which you want printing.Why can Calmac not put their timetables on one page instead of insisting you have to print out several pages to get the timetable on two of them? It is possible to manipulate this to one page but a bit of a faff.
A bit like trying to make a phone booking when you have to listen to endless irrelevant verbiage before getting to talk to somebody. I cannot book on line as the system will not cope with concessions and only accepts full fare bookings. You can apparently book and pay the full fare and then go to an office to get tickets and get a refund on production of the appropriate documents.
The theory is good but my practice is often not.
Not really relevant but does remind me of a time when mobile phones were not common. Our shop being opposite a phone box and near the sea access for dinghies was bedevilled by yotties asking for change for the phone box. They refused to believe we did not have an unlimited supply and that it cost us time and money to get change as the bank did charge for this service. They were unwilling to walk to the bank themselves.
On reflection it is not a printer problem. They put out several pages of bumf with the timetable somewhere in among it all and you have to work out which pages you need. Then they have the actual times 90% over one page with the remaining 10% over another. This is on a Macbook.
The first one in the morning got change and the rest refused. Most of them got very stroppy when refused as if it was our duty to give change even tho’ they had bought nothing.
What about when a car facing you wants to turn right, so you flash them to let them go and they don't go! The other week i saw one such vehicle holding up the traffic behind it as the road was too narrow for those behind it to pass. I flashed and nothing happened. I flashed again and still nothing. Eventually the dimwhit took it in and turned right, but she didn't flash me back to say 'thanks'. I found that very annoying. So much so that it played on my mind for the rest of the day!🤔
Flashing your car headlights means nothing more than "I am here", indicating your presence to other road users.
