Can we also have a few big screens alongside as well showing films etc to ease our pent up frustration?

QUOTE (Penelope @ Jun 11 2012, 04:33 PM) Was it another 'pointless' post? Nope a valid post, but the public are stupid so if you need to tell the to turn their engines off then they prob won't understand why.

QUOTE (x2lls @ Jun 11 2012, 03:22 PM) I cannot understand why many drivers just sit in their cars with the engine running. I have always switched off if I wait for more than a couple of minutes with no foreseeable movement.
Just the other day, I went into the Onestop in Avon Way. There was someone outside waiting for someone shopping. I was at least ten minutes being served (one assistant, many customers). On exit, the driver was still sat there chugging away. The shopper appeared just after I got into my car. A total waste of fuel/generating unnecessary polution. If you have a modern car and you switch off the ignition when the engine is not up to temperature you can flood the engine. (At least that's what happened to me when I moved the car off the drive to hoover it- apparently it is something to do with cutting down on co2 emissions?) On the poster front- absolutely pathetic. If they're that concerned about pollution build us a ******** bridge then I just have to spend hours a month waiting for the barriers to go up!

Only certain cars such as Mazda RX8's and a few other cars. I agree with your last point about the bridge.

Posters = a few hundred quid, no disruption Building a new bridge = a few million quid and months of disruption
