How can you tell it's half-term...?

...because once again there's hardly any traffic on the road. Strange that, eh?

Not having to weave your way through the kids on your way to Hertford North.

You're not driving on the path are you? [;)]

Not quite sure of your point, but you can equally "weave your way" when walking

Apologies if you're not in a car when you weave John, but having taken young children to school most mornings for the past eight years I'm very fed up with drivers 'weaving' amongst us as we walk. Many of them are using the Bengeo rat run, or are too 'busy' to walk to the station.

I take it the motorists are "weaving amongst us as we walk", because you are walking in the road rather than on the footpath. I suspect that you are walking in the road because other selfish people have parked on the footpath. Surely, then, it's the fault of the persons parking on the footpath that drivers are weaving amongst you, i.e. using their legitimate right to drive on the highway,(yes, yes, assuming of course that they live within the restricted area or have reason to be there)rather than their actual presence on the road.

When someone posts a "How can you tell it's half-term...." message on DHO?

I can speak from experience that JohnSmith does indeed walk to the station (and back) as do I.

There is always the down side - 'the little darlings' are now rampaging the Town [}:)]

Literally. On my way home (walking from the station!) I passed three of them who seemed to think hurling wheelie bins into the road was a good way to spend their half-term holidays.

God, I love half-term. So blissful to drive in to work of a morning :-)
