Has anyone else noticed a strange phenomona.I got round Swanage at over 10 mph today.It was a joy.As that's so rare why not give the town a 10mph speed limit?

  1. the reason is that all the idiots are parked in the loading bays, so the slow ones are therefore off of the rd. but god help us when the delivery vans come!

  2. Point taken, but I always thought the majority of drivers were going so slowly to prevent all the attempted suicides by the pedestrians.

    Have you noticed those parents, y'know, the ones with babies n buggies - their sensible, they push the buggy out into the road first.

  3. Hey, hey, hold on now, here's a good one.

    Why have elephants got big ears?

  4. What this clearly shows is that the town council should move out of its Bastille into an ordinary office building and hold meetings open to the public at the Mowlem. The town hall building could be redeveloped as flats with the facade retained in order to pay for the move. Upton council operates from a humble shop demonstrating there is no need to be in a grandiose Victorian folly apart from massaging a few grandiose egos. The legal duty to make themselves accessible to the disabled provides a first rate justification as well.
