    Default Happy Motoring

    Hi folks,

    Todays Scotsman (page 5) identifies,... safe drivers, occupations, cars and towns.

    Scotland comes out really well, with the 'safest' male driver category being a skoda driving policeman from Inverness.

    Women driving 'smart' cars and holding secretarial jobs, living in Inverness also come out well, as do 'volvo' driving engineers from Aberdeen. However, female Volvo driving accountants from Dundee Not so good!

    WATCH OUT FOR

    Chef's driving a Lexus in Oldham and hairdressers driving BMW's in Manchester.

    Also receptionists driving Honda's in Blackpool.!

    People involved in 'Road Safety' tend to drive Scandanavian cars, and wait for it.......

    .....young people drive 'ostentatiously', it concludes.

    Surely not!

    Oy! So where exactly does that leave me, I wonder?
    I used to be a secretary/general all-rounder to include being the receptionist if ever we needed one... BUT I won't let Andy buy anything other than a Saab - good old solid tanks!

    See? There's never a pigeon-hole for me!
    Oh... does that mean I might be.....unique? Blimey!
