    What did your driving test involve?

    Passed mine first time, our nearest test centre was Widnes and there was a 9 month waiting list so the instructor gave me the form on my first lesson.

    My son does the same commute, trains are standing room only and the car park is full before 7am. Locals don't take kindly to parking in nearby streets.

    If geese is the plural of goose shouldn't a single sheep be a shoop? Waiting for or waiting on a bus? When people say they are waiting on a bus I always picture them sitting on top of it.

    Angry Passenger Demands

    I've been carried past my stop a couple of times. I usually put it down to the fact I stay seated until it stops so maybe the driver thinks it was a mistake. Only once have I had to ask them to stop as they seemed to be going past a second stop but they always apologise and ask am I ok to get...
