I'd suggest you take a better look at the lights sequence on this sort of
crossing...

You Jeff.

Over here in the UK we have traffic light controlled pedestrian crossings called
"pelican crossings" traffic stops when the pedestrian presses a button and the
lights turn red hopefully stopping the traffic. Lights facing the pedestrians
turn green in the image of a man thus indicating it should be Ok to cross the
road and a fixed pitch beeper indicate the same for a blind person. After a
short time the green man begins to flash and the beeper that is fixed in pitch
and frequency begins to increase in frequency indicating that the traffic light
will soon turn Green again so if you are considering crossing the road - don't.
the traffic light Amber here in the UK means "get ready to do something" so if
stopped get ready to go - if moving get ready to STOP.

Not that we are so callous to our old folk as to run them over if they are still
on the crossing but the joke is - I think - that you would be so impatient that
it is possible that you would show your annoyance by shouting at an old man
crossing the road and then show off by screeching away like a top fuel dragster
to the annoyance of all and sundry as you appear to be doing here recently.

Having a bad week or two are we? I feel like that sometimes and I think we all
do.

As a sig line I see here sometimes says.

"Engage brain before opening mouth" (engage gear before moving off in driver ed
language)

Have I got this right folks?

My week is fine, but thanks for caring.

I don't know how anybody can make the leap from telling a spammer to ****
off and go away to getting annoyed that somebody -- weak and infirm by the
description given -- that takes a while to cross the street.

So, the to the OP, **** off and go away. To the rest of you, I'm fine,
thanks.

Lest I forget, Tommy is new here so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt
for now.

No, actually Jeff's an American from the left coast (California). I'm a
Yankee (from New England) and damn proud of it. I could care less how
"admired and looked up to" I am... ;-)

Tommy I have 2 - as well and I live in the UK and one is for sale so soon I'll
have one 2 like you. Unless you want to buy mine then you'll have 2 - 2 and
I'll have 1 like you do now.

Interesting isn't it!
