Rant number two- pelican crossings

[dotty.]

Has there been a change in the highway code that I am unaware of? I thought the red light meant the car had to pull up, when did that change?

[bednobs]

seriously, next time take the car, then you can just turn the radio up and ignore all of life's little annoyances

[bibblebub]

it was at the time when the meaning of amber changed from "stop unless it would be dangerous to brake" to "put your foot down otherwise you'll be stuck at these lights"

[dotty.]

good plan, I was just hoping to enjoy a carefree stroll and get some exercise, but I spent the whole walk dodging doggy deposits and dodgy geezers smoking rollies.

[dotty.]

lol bibble, that sounds about right!

[ummmm]

I got knocked over on a pelican crossing :-(

[dotty.]

They are lethal ummmm, did you sue?

[Stephen_G]

There's one near me, dot.

That was nearly lethal because the street lamps around it would glow Amber. A coiuple of times the green man was lit and I was on the road and a car would go through the crossing on the other side. They've changed the lamp colour since.

[ummmm]

Yes. I was injured though. So was my little boy.
