My good lady, the"blessed Dorothy"has been winding me up lately about me still talking to myself when I’m driving. It’s four and a half years since I gave up full time work, although I do still drive odd days for my pal. I think talking myself into places is not confined only to me, does everyone do it, or am I just going loopy?? 
she thinks so, 
but then she’s prejudiced . Regards Kev.
You are not alone ! Whenever anyone sees me happily chuntering to myself in my van, what they don’t realise is that I’m not actually talking to myself, I’m talking to my imaginary friend, so I’m not mad after all…
I’ve no choice but to talk to myself- nobody else will talk to me!
Besides, it’s the only way I can get a sensible conversation these days.

Brian,when I buy one one of those things I’ll know I’m loopy!! 
regards Kev.
Yon Dorothy woman knows what she’s talking about, she’s got you weighed up Kev, you’re going loopy, seek help lad before it’stoo late 
As for Sat Navs…great invention. Last year my Garmin took me , door to door, from my estates in West Yorkshire to the door of a house in central Germany
P.S. Anybody want to buy a bag full of A to Z map books (most UK cities).

I thought the sat navs round Dewsbury would talk to you in Urdu .
But on a serious note I still have the habit of watching car drivers and trying to anticipate their antics , it’s getting harder to do but has kept me out of a few silly situations . Once you realise that their point of focus is 6ft in front of the bonnet and the brake and accelerator are on and off switches it’s easier .
Dewsbury used to be a lovely old northern market town…sadly that’s all long gone. (says GOM doing his best to avoid racist comments )

Aye and loads of other towns and cities int UK.
Do you get barred on here for so called racist comments?
I think what you mean Chris and GOM is the whole dynamics of the UK are slowly changing, for the worst, and we are not living in the same country we were born into years ago sad to say ! Cheers Dennis.

That’s a touchy subject, out and out racism will not be tolerated and depending on the circumstances, yes it could get the poster a total ban from the forums, rightly so.
The world has changed, not for the better in my opinion, some things that we used to say are now very naughty, some of the stuff we used to watch on TV is now in the same category as a speech by Hitler, remember Love thy neighbour?
The easy answer is if you think that what you’re about to post is a bit naughty, delete it, that way you don’t have anything to worry about.

Come back, Alf Garnett, all is forgiven!
I’m glad that I’m not old enough to have any ‘old habits’ to worry about! I suppose they will come, given time? 
Pete.

Having been retired now for 14 years I have developed a new old habit , when out in the car I now tend to switch my left hearing aid off . It cuts out the "advice " coming from the passenger seat . Dave

No need for that with this old lad, if ‘you know who’ starts chirping I just stop the car and say “you’d better sit here then my love, jump out and we’ll change places”. Works every time, she doesn’t like driving when I’m in the car.

Oh dear, I’d never realised, but when I drive a car with a manual box I double clutch as well. Still, I don’t suppose there’s any harm in it.
And my motto has always been …automatics for cars…manuals for lorries. ( Fuller man myself )
