Vehicles need two horns;
1) polite friendly, 'I'm here', maybe like an icecream van non-threatening tinkly sound
2) conventional, aneurism inducing, self-important, 'geddoudamywayyyy' alert.Trying to express all human intercations with a one-note system is sub-optimal.
I'm sure there's a Seinfeld episode about just this...
HousecatHST-
I used to try & watch Seinfeld when it was bouncing around the late night BBC schedules,
in tandem with the The Larry Sanders Show,
but I don't remember this episode.
Not claiming any credit, as I doubt I've ever had many original thoughts.Off to rummage through the 'dvd cupboard'.
Certain mrs mespilus bought a box set of Seinfeld
