I know this has been talked about before,but after wearing our arms out waving to everyone pasing us on the M4 on Sunday afternoon, we realised that there had been a show on at Newbury.Please note we had been relaxing in the depths of Wales for 10 days so we were out of touch.To those of you that we might have missed SORRY. Eddie Van bitz saw you steaming up the M4, well could not miss your van.( have I spelt that right).

I am quite concerned about my phsycological state with this waving lark.

If I wave at someone and they ignore me, I feel rejected and suicidal and of course, difficult to phone the Samaritans while hairing up the M5 and if I miss someone waving I sink into the depths of despair.

But on the off chance I meet a happy Bunny who waves back to me my day is made and once again, life is worthwhile.

I know what you mean. I wave quite often and do get alot of waves back, but then you do come across some miserable so and so's for whom smiling requires a months planning and a crow bar to enforce it. They incidently don't tend to wave back.

In order or avoid RSI from waving, I converted one of my windscreen wipers and attached a prosthetic forearm and hand to the wiper arm. Now, when I need to wave, I simply use the single sweep part of the wiper switch.

Although, when its raining I have to apply a squeegee to the the hand, and clean the screen like that. Smile

That is well cool. And you can always turn the screen washer on when you are upset. I like that. I wear my heart on my windscreen. Shocked

I keep forgetting that I am in the car and wave at motorhomes. I'm sure some of them must wonder who that woman is waving at them in the Yeovil area. Lin

Did Alan wave?.....and where did you get that (big?) MHF sticker which was big enough for him to see-or was he tail-gating? Laughing )

edited: oops got that wrong-thought he'd seen a sticker-and if he didn't, why not Wink

With motorhomes becoming so popular now, this waving lark is becoming a bit excessive. Last Bank Holiday Monday I found myself continually waving all up the A38 and M5. I wonder whether it might not be a good idea to have a convention whereby we only wave when on single carriageway roads?
