Cross words about a crossword - Vin {P}
So, there I was pootling up the M3 this morning (2 lane section) at xx mph, when I noticed a Mercedes S320 overtaking me slowly. What drew my attention to him was that he appeared to have a very long fag in his hand. This made me take a second glance, at which point I noticed that he had a pen in his right hand and a newspaper folded to the crossword in his left hand. At 85mph!

I gave him a wide berth and watched him weaving between lanes for the next few miles till he pulled out of sight.

Flabbergasted.

It slowly overtook you at 85mph so shall we say your speed was a minimum of 80mph....and you took your eyes off the road to look sideways at 90 degrees for how long....?

I knew someone would ask that.

I looked at the car as it passed and did an involuntary doubvle take - a second?

No style. No style at all. The smart way to do it is to read the crossword with one hand whilst searching the web for the solutions on your iPaq with the other.

Let the chauffeur drive ... then you can sit in whichever seat you like, and do the crosword with both hands.

If you don't have a chauffeur, then some folks suggest that a resaonable substiutute is a husband ... except that then you are unlikely to be driven any place you actually want to go to.

Anyway, what are y'all moaning about? There's nothing about crosswords in the highway code, and most backroomers would have to stand on the brakes to see a car doing 85 for long enough to tell whether the driver was still there ....

Pfft.
Or you could get a wife, except then you'll still be forced to drive yourself, but to lots of places you didn't want to visit. ;)

Whichever seat you like? My chauffeur doesn't like me sitting on his lap when he's driving!

Friday came early this week, I see!

Couldn\'t countenance doing the crossword while driving. They keeps me awake - can\'t get a decent nap while trying to think about them.
