Well now, if you want to get LOGICAL, you have to get more women on the job.

Re: at the cross walk
An oblique take on crosswalk differences : in UK I discovered drivers used the red-yellow to get a jump on the green.
In US the red-yellow is "pedestrians walk!"
Something people from UK should know if they decide to drive in States!
Just trying to be a good neighbor.
wow

>Where a speed limit is in force there are repeater signs at regular intervals. If there are no repeaters, we know that we may drive at 60mph on all roads, or 70mph on dual carriageways.
I think that the rule in built up areas is that it is 30 unless specified as 40 (or these days, sometimes 20).

Is that because it would be logical to have a "balance" of women and men, or are women (suddenly  ) the more logical of the two (devils advocate emoticon). (...as I hop on my Marusho and drive away at 101kph)

wowS'all right, Musick, it's just over compensation for perceived past wrongs. They'll get over it in somebody's lifetime ...

wow informs us that - In US the red-yellow is "pedestrians walk!"
In the UK we have just two classes of pedestrian - the quick and the dead.

Jo, quite rightly, points out - I think that the rule in built up areas is that it is 30 unless specified as 40 (or these days, sometimes 20).
Yes, I was thinking entirely about non-urban situations, and can't understand why you-all didn't read my mind.

Oh, my! I do hope you folks try to watch for us poor
befuddled yanks stepping off the curb without looking for cars coming from the wrong direction! Thank you.
By the way, I now think of you as the Rhubarb
Co-mahn-do, dag nab it.

Nah! we don't bother with knocking down foreign visitors, as a rule. You only score one point for them unless they're from *********** (censored under EU anti-xenophobe regulations) You score much more for old ladies on zimmer-frames who ARE looking in the right dierection.
(I was going to edit the typo in the last word - but it is so apposite that I'm leaving it in)
