I could start a shop up selling them, there are so many. See how many you can spot in a week, my record is 141, but I do drive a lot of miles. Be warned though, it is addictive and we should always remember to pay full attention to the road. I'll wager you will see more than you bargained for. Lord knows where they come from, perhaps they all 'fell off the back of a lorry!' |

But probably more disgusting is the carrier bags that hang from branches on the hedges/tree's. Some people have a very warped sense of humour, and you won't want to know what they have deposited in the carrier bag! Needless to say there aren't enough toilets/restrooms on the motorways! |

On a serious note, I have just looked at your website Ron and I'm 'well impressed' as the carrier bag throwers would no doubt say. I MUST join you on the tour one day!! By the way, answer your mobile when it rings Ron LOL. |

I don't return calls unless I know where/who they are from for fear of being ripped off by some nut who wants to steal my credit! As for the tour, just let me know when you are this way with 3 or 4 hours to spare. |
