I like it when you get stopped for some bloody traffic survey and you're asked the prupose of your journey.

My favourite response is : 'No purpose other than to needlessly burn a few gallons of precious fossil fuel'.

I was referring to the roadside ones where they funnel you off into a layby and then ask their couple of questions.

I suppose you could argue that you're sat in your car, engine idling waiting to answer questions that have no value and STILL burning fuel.

Quite agree. Once everyone is this country has a home then maybe we'll start worrying about far flung bits of Africa.
