Maybe worth a mention is that in 1991 Mrs mart was hit by a car while she was on a zebra crossing. She has been disabled and in a wheelchair ever since. The driver was a woman about 25 years of age.
I'm so sorry Mart. I remember you mentioning her health problems but I didn't realise it was caused by a careless driver. I find it quite upsetting now that we have been making light of the subject.

Thanks Annie - It doesn't matter. It has become so much part of life that we accept it and hardly think about it now. It took 55 posts for me to think about mentioning it in the thread. It's what happened though.

I'm ever so sorry to hear this Mart. How awful. So sorry

Thanks - It was just very bad luck that her and the driver were at the crossing at exactly the same time. I always think that another second either way and it wouldn't have happened. Fate is a fickle thing.
I think a lot of women are much more careful than men. Men tend to speed more than women. Many a time I'll be doing 30 in a 30 mile zone yet I'm getting a car intimidating me from behind to try make me go faster and it's always a man I see in my rear view mirror. Piss off, I'm not gonna go any faster, in fact, do that and I'll slow down.
I know exactly what you mean, Queenie - and I agree.
