Common sense should be the risk assessment. All this cr@p costs more and this is just passed onto the customer at the end of the day.

Not personal offence to anyone on Defender2 that does it (and there are several) but.... just recently a small number of people keep adding in the Jaguar name when talking about Land Rovers. Dunno why, but it is making me a very Grumpy Old Woman!
Land Rover is a Land Rover. It is not a JLR, Jaguar Land Rover or even a Jaguar Rover. The badges on them say Land Rover. Not Jaguar Land Rover or JLR. We never called Land Rovers 'British Leyland Land Rover' or 'Austin Rover Land Rover', or 'Rover Land Rover'. We refer to the Mark, ie. Land Rover, not the manufacturers Company Name. 
You know who you are. Now stop it. Thanks. Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

- people who use their brakes all the time on motorways
- people who dont know how slip roads work - people who pull out last minute infront of you on fast A roads, then take three years to accellerate up to 30mph... in a 60!! - people who have their rear wipers on when it's dry (think thats just my OCD though..) - people who don't thank you for giving way - people who thwack their doors into the side of my car in a car park (thankyou side rails!!) - car air freshners that are meant to smell like vanilla that smell like urinal cakes Ummm.... think thats all for today! |

Don't all car air fresheners smell like toilet cleaner?
Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

People who rubbish your business on a public forum (no not you guys!) just because they didn't get an email from you, because it was filtered out by their spam blocker! probably as it had an attachment with quote.
A simple 'where's my quote' phone call would have done it - duh!

People who gawp at you blankly when you have just flashed your lights at them and gently slowed 50m from them waiting at a junction to allow them pull out in front of you. You can see that no one else has let them out and they're indicating. There's nothing coming the other way. If they just put their foot down, they'd be off, i'd lose no time, no one would be inconvenienced and we'd all be happy.
But NO! Gawp at me as i have to brake, unsure whether or not you're actually going to take my repeated offer to pull out. How bright do you want my Defender lights to be to get the message? I'm quickly thinking that i'm not going to let anyone out of any side turning onto the main carriageway unless they're driving a Defender. |

I don't bother anymore Seb, even once a Defender driver just waved at me, without pulling out

My pet hate is being flashed at when waiting to turn right across oncoming traffic or out of a side road. Especially when they get irate when I ignor them 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper
