No, they were prostrating themselves. ...that's an odd way to spell p*ssing..... The following is a verbatim extract from the Buxton entry on "ILiveHere": The locals are narrow minded,and in the main seem not very intelligent :stare at anything,or anybody who is in any way slightly different…

Didn't hear any banjos, but maybe it was a bit early for that sort of thing.

Wouldn't have heard them anyway above that four-cylinder din.

I though 4 cylinders precludes you from "wafting" ? was he pretending to be a wafter?

Dragging the thread back onto track, Yesterdays drive was leaving home at 06:30 to Hanwell in West London, then a cruise down the M4 and the back roads of Hungerford to Bedwyn in Wiltshre to see this. Dont you just love the UK in Autumn? Defined seasons are what makes this country fabulous, but with global warming caused by Brexit its unique charm is on the wane.

Well, back now, ffffffffreeezing up there but really good. Pork joint the in oven, needs a couple of hours, dilemma on what to do now is, cup of tea, dog walk, whisky, gin and tonic, fall asleep, or clean the bikes...
Guess I could walk the dog with a hip flask !

Local election day here.
Consequently no business that uses employees is allowed to open; only those owner/operated stores - this is because unscrupulous employers might prevent their employees going to vote by keeping them at work.
No business selling alcohol is allowed to open. This is because someone might get people drunk in order to prevent them voting.
If it were a national election, then *NO* business would be permitted to open. Not a gas station, food store or anything. Even hospitals are A&E only, nothing elective.
I live in the third world. Can you tell?

To reply to Nogbad, and not a drive but a ride, we briefly crossed paths on Saturday as the train you went to see and film was my ride for the day from Slough to Minehead and back with a change of engine for the local bit around Minehead to give the mainline crew a rest. Four cylinder engine never missed a beat all day.

Went up to Edinburgh today, M6, M74 but got off at Moffat and went up the A701 Devil's Beeftub road. Dawn just broke as I got to the highest point and the views were spectacular. Cold enough to at least slightly concern a brass primate though, saw 0.5C on the dash. Great driving road that, and usually as today, more or less traffic free.
God I miss Scotland.

Every two years I drive to Alloa to inspect a property. I can't wait for the traffic to clear north of Preston. And the scenery is spectacular north of the border. .
I really like the area around Stirling, flat valley with hills to the north. Lovely..
