Its a small world, connections, and carers

Worked in two gardens today then went to the funeral of a lady I had worked for for a few years.

Then during the readings the interesting stuff began. She was related to Parry who wrote Jerusalem which was sung at the funeral. Its a short hymn and more well known perhaps with that great organisation the WI although there are very few groups who sing it now whatever anyone thinks.

Really touching at the funeral was that one of the livein carers who is Polish and had gone home after the death flew in specially for it, afterwards she said to me that she could now smile when thinking about the lady who had died, she had been with her when she passed away. Bless her.

So then I go home thoughtful, get the car unloaded and start on the days paperwork still pondering how small a world it is, theres a message on my phone, it from a WI.

good driver bad driver answers please which one would you be

So I was driving into Cambridge to work in a few gardens.

On the way in Quy in the distance I saw a delivery driver put on his hazard lights and stop on the opposite side of the road. He gets out walks to the front of his van and scares a pigeon off the road that was just sitting there, never expected that from a red van delivering car parts EU it was and I thinks well done that man.

Onto the A14 traffic at a slow crawl again, get almost to the Milton slip road and at the last minute with the sliproad lights obviously on green an artic  just a bit closer guns it up the slipway and over the still green lights then down the other sliproad back onto the A14, he was driving the lorry like he was driving a small car throwing it all over the place. Whoopee Ive jumped ahead of a few other cars and lorries they must have been thinking, I hope the load wasn't fragile.

Which was the good driver and which the bad? And back to the question in the title which driver are you and which one is a complete prat.
