Re: Merci beaucoup
 

No .. the police cars have them in the back now ... not me !! Was nice to see a polite 'Thank you' instead of 'Stop' or ''Headlights' .. get it ? :rolleyes:

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

ahhhh, making much more sense now.

Re: Merci beaucoup

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Polite police officers that has to be a first.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

i find the police very polite and coperative especialy if you are polite to them

example

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Well if they are standing on your head they cant be very tall. ;) Which wall were the peering over? :)

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

What baffles me is how you know the police cars were rushing over Barden Bridge towards the M61. Burnley is 20 odd miles from the M61.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Maybe the power they have has gone to their heads. Either that or there is a serious shortage of police at that time of day.
Cant have them missing a cuppa can we. ;)

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

?? What's Burnley got to do with it. ?:confused: Was there at the time like, and traffic news said just bin a bump at Junction 9 M61 with a lorry, so just logical deduction my dear Watson. Anyway decided to do M66 instead.
You lot being cynical again, I happen to have great respect for our police force and just thought was good public relations, that's all. :p
Always polite to me when I have been stopped, and never stood on my head; have played the dumb little woman with fluttering eyelashes though on occasions, and can't imagine this had anything to do with it !

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Barden Bridge is in Burnley, believe it or not, on Barden Lane.

Ive got it now, you were on Barton Bridge. Good job you hadn't broken down and phoned the AA or RAC. They'd still be searching for you all over Burnley. :)

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Got to admit that I had to read the first post half a dozen times before I understood what you were on about Katie. In the end just decided that you'd been on the red wine and best to not try and understand.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

I'm afraid I have to second gayle on that one :p ;) :)

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Oh yeh ! sorry never actually seen this written down and us Lancs people slip into a lazy 'd' sometimes instead of a 't' don't we. Phew, that got me out of that one.

Bet can find my way around Uk better than you can da-da.

Well .. Gail that bottle did go down rather well after I got home. :)

Just before I go. A lady at work's husband was down in Devon this week and asked the way to Chittlehampton" Going down this country lane he asked a gentleman on foot "How do you get to Chittlehampton". After a short hesitation he replied "My brother-in-law takes me" LOL. Was this North/South divide on the way we ask questions ?? Lied about the place, couldn't remember where she said.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Katie, how long have you known me? GAYLE, GAYLE, GAYLE - oh, well, at least it's better than you calling me Clare. lol

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Aw shucks, only had one glass of red too yet ... humble apologies.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

One!!!! It's half past seven girl, you're slowing down a bit aren't you?

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Saving meself for tomorrow night's meet ... gotta find some confidence from somewhere ... adrenalin pumping already. :unsure8:

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

I wouldn't want to get dragged into a sexist argument, perish the thought. Have a read at this and tell us what you think.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Oh dear, watch out everybody!!!

Sorry, I can't be there - that doesn't give you an excuse to dish the dirt!

Sure you'll have a good time. I could warn you about certain people but best you find out for yourself. lol

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

Can't really put an arguement up against this as not a Professor of Brain Matter or Stastitics. Only know that men would never admit to driving round and round a motorway before they sorted out the correct exit. Unfortunately, us women would do and, therefore, that becomes a stastitic in someone's book. That to me is the big difference!!
I think there is something primeval when women are navigating for their partners/husbands and it is a matter of 'you the leader; me the follower' ... so get on with it. We don't try so hard .. a sort of attention seeking for protection.
I myself have turned many a wrong corner, but always been able to get myself back on track USING A MAP .. never have to use my sat.nav. and don't use the map upside down either. I'm sure lots of my 'fellow' .. gawd that's ironic ... ladies have too.
Agree we have different brains, but feel this is just a matter of experience, etc.

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

P.S. to my last post, once read, probably in Daily Mail that men always knew which was North and South without any clues such as sunset, etc., tried this on a few guinea pigs and, nah, they would have finished up going through the Channel Tunnel instead of over the Forth Bridge. :)

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

We go looking for tree moss the guinea pigs would eat it. ;)

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

how funny would it be if katex turnd up to the meet late because she got lost lol

best to get a taxi so a man can drive you there ;)


yes i am aware women drive taxis too but there arnt that many which is probably due to their poor sense of direction :p

Re: Merci beaucoup
 

best to get a taxi so a man can drive you there ;)

I will not rise to the bait, I will NOT rise to the bait, I WILL NOT RISE TO THE BAIT !! Turns round 3 times and touches the ground.:p :p :p
