Spent few minutes consuming my daily java and observing workers to
add yellow frame around traffic lights
The immediate effect was to create traffic jam and indirectly causing
"fender bender" - thus further reducing 4 lanes of traffic to one....
My burning question - will adding yellow frame around traffic light HELP TO
reduce / eliminate / affect speeding drivers with
mentality " I do not care, I am going thru ..."
from going thru RED light ?

Surprisingly, that is exactly what they are intended to do:
The yellow frames around the perimeter of traffic lights are called reflective backplates. They are designed to help motorists see the signals more easily during morning and evening hours, in areas of visual clutter where the lights might otherwise be obscured, and in areas where lights are oddly spaced.

It helps to prosecute them. It makes it harder to say you never saw the lights.

Miley's, or HtCW's?
Miley's are easy enough to find.

One of my favvorites:
Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a
young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said,
"We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must
abstain from having sex for two weeks."
The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks. The
pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to
abstain from sex for the two weeks?"
The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor."
"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.
The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well,
were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?"
The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second
week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but,
yes, we made it."
"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.
The pastor then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Well,
were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?"
"No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two
weeks," the young man replied sadly.
"What happened?" inquired the pastor.
"My wife was reaching for a can of paint on the top shelf and
dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome
with lust and took advantage of her right there."
"You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome
in our church," stated the pastor.
"We know," said the young man, "We're not welcome at Home
Depot anymore either."

I heard a similar version but it was bending over to get a chicken out of the bottom of the freezer, and Sainsbury's (Walmart in US, perhaps).

Sainsbury's is a bit upmarket - Asda would be closer to Walmart (and is owned by them as well).

True, good point about Asda, although Sainsbury's upmarket? No more so than Tesco, surely? Waitrose, perhaps.
|
|
|

True, although of course these days they're all competing with Aldi, and our nearest large Sainsbury's is often cheaper than the equivalent large Tesco.
If you're on Farcebook there's a group called "Overheard in Waitrose" which is supposed to be quite amusing. May have to join it myself.

And I've noticed that Tesco quality is pretty poor these days as well.
