The Shah is a man who has certain strong likes and dislikes in life. He is nothing if not decisive in his opinion of right and wrong. And one of his major bugbears is those people who insist on driving in the middle lane of the motorway when the slow lane is empty.
Returning from the Midlands on Saturday, he came across one such. The Shah is in the slow lane and so he pulls out into the middle and then into the fast lane in order to pass Lord Twattington, sailing along in the middle, and flashes his headlights as he does so. His Lordship becomes enraged at this slight upon his road sense, or lack of. As the Shah pulls back over, Lord Twattington puts his foot down and shoots past, his face contorted with rage, making a series of digital gestures which suggest that the Shah might like to become intimate with himself with a view to reproduction. The Shah is entertained by having inspired such ire and laughs at the good Lord as he accelerates into the distance.
Unfortunately for Lord Twattington, waiting round the bend was a car containing a couple of members of Her Majesty's Constabulary who, having nothing else to do, set off in hot pursuit.
As the Shah sailed past a little further down the road, doing a sedate 70mph, he smiled and waved at his Lordship. Sadly, his greeting went unanswered as the good Lord was busy explaining himself to PC Plod at the time.
It was one of those small victories that just delights the heart and it absolutely made the Shah's day.
