Turn out of New Street because you expect the Bridge Street and York Street traffic to give way and get a screech of brakes and a rebuke and lesson learned. Get three cars approaching at once with only the New Street vehicle indicating a right-turn and the junction seizes up until someone takes the initiative.<br /><br />Road now Street PITA street-names :-)<br /><br />Incidentally I was reliably informed that the approach from the OGL island to Mitton Street was blocked off Friday night. This wasn't on the schedule unless someone took advantage to fix all that water outside the Steps. Resulted in my friend turning around heading back the way he came down Worcester Road and through Shrawley, slightly pissed off as you can imagine.FlipChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449939046593105926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36939759.post-85097115749521744822009-09-19T20:38:02.454+01:002009-09-19T20:38:02.454+01:00I followed a car this evening that came out of Wor...I followed a car this evening that came out of Worcester Rd and turned towards Stourport. <br /><br />He went up Mitton St and then turned into Vale Rd because he was obviously heading for either Kiddermister or Bewdley.<br /><br />Instead he would have been forced to go back down 'The Gil Gal' to whence he first came from.<br /><br />I usually go up Vale Rd/Bewdley Rd to reach my house on Lickhill Lodge but this evening I went via Lion Hill, York St and straight across towards Moorhall Lane. <br /><br />Met a ditherer coming out of New St turning down to the bridge. The bloke coming up Bridge St waved her out but she was wetting her knickers and looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown.<br /><br />I wanted to get home before midnight so I just went across and left her still parked there wondering what to do.<br /><br />BTW it's Worcester Street by the lights. Not Road.<br /><br />Another BTW. The car that went up Vale Rd I didn't mind about anyway. Drivers of 09 reg Porsche Carerras get all they deserve.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083769878609729136noreply@blogger.com
