RE: Anything and Everything - Ambassador - 14 Jun 2016
I drive an automatic...I'm lazy and I needed to learn quickly.
I know...I'm an awful driver!

My first car was auto, then a manual, now an auto again.
Sounds odd but the transmission type was never a motivation in choosing any of the three I've had. Right now I prefer the idea of an auto, but would choose a manual again over the poor Vauxhall easy tronic semi auto gearbox I had in my first car.
I don't think the choice of auto or manual makes someone a better or worse driver.

(14 Jun 2016, 11:00 am)MrFozz Had my first driving lesson today, I went 50 yards, hit a kerb, slammed the anchors on and stalled the car...
It will be a frosty day in hell before I am unleashed behind the wheel of a bus
Sounds like your halfway there now Foss, just need to get the braking and acceleration right and your sorted, you know you have mastered this when you can get anyone alighting doing the hokey kokey up the bus, a professional bus driver can make all there passengers dance. Once you have advanced to the cha cha slide your a coach driver in the making.
Anyway good luck with the wedding and stick in with the driving lessons.

I've never had a lesson, but I'd have to learn in an automatic because I no longer have the strength in my left arm/hand to consistently handle a gear stick. It's not such a limiting thing, these days, at least. I suspect we'll move over to more cars being automatic, over the next decade, as more steps to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions in cars are taken.
RE: Anything and Everything - MurdnunoC - 15 Jun 2016
When not at work, I drive a manual. I'd rather have an automatic though because I'm lazy.

"Who do they think they are?" Sign in Chester le Street. Above Loughlin's(?) Butchers.
What on earth is that all about?

Is it similar to one of those 'Its illegal to use a legal name' ads currently seen around Chester?

No, those are national and part of a big tin foil hat movement, Freemen of the land. Thisone is CLS specific but the text was too small to read from the bus.

When he eventually reappears I feel people are going to point and shout in a surprised tone "Oh look, it's him, I remember him from somewhere"...
