You not mistaking that for kiss & tell at GCHQ are you??

[Pesmo]

The human behaviours around the kiss and drop thing has always fascinated me. I sat in an office opposite Chelmsford station for a couple of years, and every day men would drive to the station, stop, kiss the wife, jump out the car and go catch the train. Their wives would then get out the passenger seat walk round the car, get in the drivers seat and presumably drive it home again. This would happen dozens of times a day and often in reverse in the evenings. Why were these men so insecure that they found it impossible to let their wives drive them to and from the station ? I never did understand this.

If you park long enough to get out of the car and walk round it these days you will probably get clamped before putting your seat belt back on!!

It's probably the "This is MY car, it's an extension of my personality" syndrome. (Or somesuch)

There's something you dont expect to find in a large city like London. How many taxi drivers want to tell you who's been in this cab mate!!
