.....Hove Born & Bred was born forty years ago today! He announced it in his thread yesterday but the reaction to it is actually quite sad (especially compared to Buzzer's). Not sure exactly what the reason is, I think it must have all kicked off before I started posting regularly. Anyway, I've...
I put that in my post, but cancelled it as he did state the above in his opening post. Still, a highly confusing thread title - more care needed in future IMO!

Garbage. It doesn't mean that in the slightest. It actually means "you are in a traffic jam therefore it's your own fault because you are part of the traffic"
I now realise from this post that Hiney and the Withdean Wanderer were correct; there was nothing remotely funny about your opening post...
