It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

Growler give the flashing lights a try (JOM might not want to let on), the father-in-law of my business partner in the UK had a lot to do with traffic lights and it always worked for me.  :thumbsup:

Again.....do not get caught doing it!!!!

Related subject:

Outside the Kennels is a large triangular sign advising of a crossing ~ specifically featuring Elderly People. It is illuminated at night and the b@st@rd light shines straight into the master bedroom. A similar sign is placed 100 yards up the road for traffic coming in the opposite direction. It too shines all night into someone's bedroom.
(i) There is no crossing
(ii) The County Council say it is to warn traffic of the possibility of people crossing the road to get to the local surgery
(iii) The surgery closes at 5.30 pm and reopens at 8.30am on weekdays only.
(iv) In answer to the question "Why does this sign need to be illuminated?" the council's response was "If it was not lit then drivers would ignore it"

That's so unfair Snoopy, there could be a CDB celebrity in them there olduns and the council goes and cuts the chance of a late night splattering

Back t'topic I encountered roadwork red lights matching Growler's description of timing Friday and I was in such a foul mood I just said fck em and drove through.

I did wonder about that but stuff them

I'd prolly plead not guilty just to get my chance to say.  How the flying truck do you get idiots able to set up a CCTV camera perfectly and yet point the car detector towards the planet Zob. 

(well in my dreams I would)

I'm pretty sure it only works at temporary..... 'road no works, just loads'o cones and men in HV jackets drinking tea and looking at yesterdayas faded copy of The Sun, feet on scabby Transit'.... lights.

I'll certainly give it a try though. Thumbs:
