Well Ihave been getting my own back by eating and drinking lots of water in front of the bloody silly buggers fasting in Harrogate for the sake of religious claptrap known as Ramadam,would you believe one of the asian drivers asked one of the locals not to eat in front of him!
I went and got a big sausage roll upon hearing that
