So there we were, myself and the OH in the car at the intersection waiting for the lights to change when we saw this lovely car coming in the opposite direction. It was all decorated up with loads of flowers and obviously a wedding car - really pretty. So we both smiled as we saw this lovely sight and then..............................the female driver gave us the V sign !!!!!

Maybe it was V for Victory?!

Was it the "V" sign or was it the "Peace" sign?

The "V" sign means nothing to the average Canadian.

Well she had an unpleasant expression on her face at the time which made me think it was the nasty V, but we cracked up at it anyway so no harm done.

So it would appear she is one of the few who do know its meaning.

Stressful day perchance?

It would be a strange sight for sure.

Hours of gesturing behind the wheel have been totally wasted...

Oh the futility of it...

You have been giving out peace, love and understanding

It will do when i arrive !

Orpington was good training for automobile-related gesturing

I knew somebody would understand (and i ride a Motorbike which makes me even worse)

particularly the encounters with motorbikes

I cant help but love the Orpington youth on their £2000 50cc hairdryers sounding like a swarm of killer wasps ! trying hard to get past 35mph
I shall miss it when they gesture me to do a wheelie at the lights then call me a **** when i dont !

Oh, how I miss that <sigh>

The nearest you will get to that over here is a big hairy biker on a humungus Harley

I am trying hard to fight it.....BUT.......i`m afraid one day this may be me !
