It crossed our conversation 3 weeks ago to go to the Berlin Christmas Market, I more or less dismissed it as soon as I said it, saying.......we had better not as the world in parts is no longer safe :sad:

I tend to think at times; that we are all the flick of a light switch away, from meeting our maker.

Drivers who can't stick to a constant speed !
Followed a car down a 40mph road, no overtaking places, nothing ahead of the other car. Slows down to 32, speeds up to 45, slows down again, speeds up again over and over for nearly 2 miles. =D> :x
