I'd like to be the minister of transport, just for one day.
I would change the side of the road that british people drive on just as an experiment, and I would only announce it on the BBC.

I would be the famous for killing more people in one day than Black Death.

Thanks Al, do you want the job of taking the light bulbs out of the traffic lights?

Only every other bulb would be removed
then people would think the lights were borked and creep past, but other people would see a green light and go hell for leather through it. Thus increasing the carnage.

Which would not only thin out the population
but also give you good reason to lock up, on charges of dangerous driving, all the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging troglodytes who get their information spelt out in big, colourful letters for them by ITV News. I like it.

I think I have the zeitgeist of this board firmly planted in my mind now.
