P should have been a teacher, trainer or an instructor of sorts.
I said as much to him yesterday when we were following a learner driver. "You would make a very good driving instructor or teacher, because your so patient and you explain things simply and always so calmly" I told him.
He laughed. ''Don't think I would be so patient with learner drivers, not the girls anyway, their numbers on our roads should be restricted, many of them shouldn't be driving''. Now I know he says this sort of thing to tease me so I told him that was ridiculous and that men, particularly young men, cause far more and worse accidents than girls. ''That may be true, I don't know the statistics,'' he said, ''but girl drivers give me more to curse about then men and that's a fact.'' I told him I was sure any girls he'd trained wouldn't cause the slightest anxiety to male drivers, he thought about that and then said ''Perhaps not, because I'd be lot harder on them than the boys, for their own good, in fact I'd spank them if they didn't come up to scratch.'' He was admittedly smiling by now.
''You'd better not take up driving instructing after all then,'' I said, ''you'd be in court more often that you were in the car.''
Hope you have a good week. Day off for me today, Bank Holiday and were going out so catch you all later.
