I, too, have a Golf. Disabling the engine cut-out is quite easy as there is a button just to the left of the gear stick. I try to remember to push it whenever we set off. I would prefer it, though, if they'd made it a toggle switch that would remain off until you want to put the feature on.

He obviously had never read the Highway Code, which I recall states, no overtaking at traffic lights!
Ah, BMW drivers! Yes, they all live up to their reputations, don't they?
