Kids, dogs & old people
In our local village, there’s a 20mph limit.
In principle, it’s a great idea, with kids, dogs and old people all in plentiful supply.
In practice, it’s completely ignored.
They’ve tried all sorts to enforce it – signs, sleeping policemen, signs, cameras, notes through doors, signs, the list goes on.
Nothing’s worked, until the other day when they inadvertently cracked it.
I was driving through Pangbourne, on the way to the M4, and was taken aback by the snail-like speed of the traffic going so slowly at an off-peak time.
What sorcery was this? How had they succeeded; had the signs finally done their bit?!
Nope. As it turned out, the local Lamborghini garage had put eleven of their vehicles out the front – ranging from bright yellow to matte black (what I like to call “stealth colour”).
