And so it comes to pass as war is declared on the aged & infirm (me) and owners of those strange "mobility scooter" contraptions.

The last one I encountered was on a short freeway that leads to Bondi Beach where drivers pelt along at usually 100K an hour.

The old dear was battling away in the middle lane with copious grey hair flowing, a maniacal look on his face but he did have several flags fluttering which helped other drivers spot him.( I think he had escaped from the nearby Maximum Security Ronald Coleman Lodge for the Permanently Confused.)

Two police cars with sirens blaring were coming at a furious pace on the opposite side and I heard them screech to halt as I continued my journey.

Get off and walk, you pedantic geriatrics !

6 months on one of those things and your legs will never work again (and we'll be left with the bill, as usual)

PS, hedda ... did you have your hair done especially for the photograph ???
