An apology, as promised. I've spent the evening ploughing through the selected works of forgotten ABers like R1Geezer, Thatcherite, PetitAnglais, ZedBloke, MoonRocker and even Egara_Flegin, a poor backward wee mite who lived only a day before being suspended like the rest. And I couldn't find the post I thought I'd read at all (it wasn't about motorways, but you seem rather cross with people who don't drive fast enough). So for practical purposes it never happened and I misremembered it.
I did find a post along the way by someone called RedGrant, asking how the Romans counted big figures, which I will now answer in case he happens to be around. The very late Romans used all sort of letters: B=300, E=250, F=40, G=400, H=200, K=250, N=90, P=400, Q=500, R=80, S=7 or 70, T=160, Y=150, Z=2,000.

I hope that cheers you up. I am now light of heart, my guilty soul purged!

TTT - Many of your posts criticise people who don't drive fast enough, you are assured (and proud) of your own riding skills (having done a three day course with the bloke who wrote that book), you are dismissive of the Highway Code and pleased to be an inveterate speeder when you choose to be.
If I had written what jno said, you wouldn't have been receiving an apology from me.
It was your childish responses which got you suspended so to blame jno is another example of your unwillingness to accept any sort of criticism.

JTT: "TTT - Many of your posts criticise people who don't drive fast enough" - Nice switch, I criticise those that dawdle and do not keep up with the traffic, as per the highway code. I am not dismissive of 99% of the HC. I am critical of some points. Do you agree with 100% of the HC jack?
"if I had written what jno said, you wouldn't have been receiving an apology from me. " - why? You'd have been wrong, unless you can find the evidence that I said what jno said I said. I don't have much time for jno but at least he's man enough to accept he was wrong.
"It was your childish responses which got you suspended so to blame jno is another example of your unwillingness to accept any sort of criticism. " - yes I got angry at an untruth. I'll accept criticism as I do every day if it is based in fact and valid reasoning.

jno said: "TTT used to argue that there was nothing wrong with speeding if you were a really good driver. " - I said or believed no such thing and he, after a search verified that and apologised.
The problem on this site is that people are often attributed as saying something when they did not, this is just such a case.

Just a couple of R1Geezer snippets.......I've left out the repetition of your 3-day driving course with Jones "who wrote the book".
