That's what we should have instead of moronic Bus lanes such as the one on the M4. Basically if there is more than one human in the car you can use the Diamond lane, if you're alone you can't. With huge fines ($321 in California, last time I was there) for doing anything illegal in relation to them, including crossing the "barrier" lines when not at an entry/exit point.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723650792657064281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-10406686246354181852010-11-09T22:38:20.733+00:002010-11-09T22:38:20.733+00:00Tiger Bread for the win, lovely stuff.

I tend to have it as a dipper into a baked whole camembert...<br /><br />Not so keen on Marmite though!Dave Lewthwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539011355731197969noreply@blogger.com
