Yes, I’m still on my Pommie rant. Yes, I will get over it. Yes, quite soon. I hope.
However, a little article in BBC News does go quite some way to explaining some of my feelings from a previous post. From it:
“Carol McMillan, 34, of Spey Walk, Holytown, Lanarkshire, admitted the culpable homicide of Ann Whittle on 15 August last year.
The pair clashed over a space at a car boot sale at Blochairn Road, Glasgow. McMillan repeatedly kicked Mrs Whittle, who later died in hospital.”
Come on, you have to be kidding me! Over a parking spot? And this is supposed to be “First World” and “Civilized”? Give me a break, sounds to me more like anarchy in action.
I think I’ll just stay in Africa where I’m safe, thank you very much…

Is this not maybe a specialised form of “road rage” – assuming, of course, that the parking lot was tarred?
