Oh yeah. Spotted... Has ANYONE had a bendy bus overtake you on a road where youre in the MIDDLE about to turn right. It pulled into the oncoming traffic lane (vehicles were approaching as well!!) and rudely hooted at me cause i was bout to turn. AND it had miles of space on the left of me. Cheeky facking bastard!!!!! Or was i in the wrong????
Hard to tell from your description--would need more detail, but I wouldn't worry too much about it if it was an isolated incident. If you get into similar situations more or less regularly, there may be something you're doing wrong. From the limited detail you supply, it sounds as if the driver was having a bad day.

And (i think) because ä is a letter to itself in some languages (Swedish) and not just an 'a' with an umlaut and it comes at the end, after the 26 letters the English alphabet has.
So: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzåäö
Just as, indeed, in German, the word "Umlaut" refers to the whole letter and not only to the two dots above it. The German alphabet is similar to the Swedish one and looks like this:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöü
ä, ö, and ü are distinct letters and form a third class of letter, "Umlaute", besides vowels ("Vokale") and consonants ("Konsonanten").
Bet you always wanted to know this. :)

Spotted- two people on fixed this morning, which is a record.
First: chap with a large black bag on a Mercian with mudguards, Creek Road past the sorting office/gun crime area of Deptford.
Second: black frame, white deep vee's, lower road, then the left right jink to get over Great Dover road. Lost you when you RLJ'd across Great Dover Road, was pootling along behind you until then.

I didn't want to know, or at least there was no innate desire, but I'm glad to have been informed.

No need to trawl through it manually - the "i have had enough thread" is The bickering and feuding... it stops

Bernie; well, not so much a spot as a first meeting. Stopped to admire his bike; the first one with unmatched wheels that I've ever liked; I think it's the front one being smaller that does it. Anyway, nice to met you. And, as I predicted, the second I put my Goretex trews on it stopped raining.
