I suppose they could use odds like bookies.

I was wondering about that yesterday, reading the local forecast. It
was showing various percentages for each hour, 20%, 30%, 40%, 70%.
Even
threats of thunderstorms. Does the first 20% mean that there is a 20%
risk of some rain within that hour, or something else?

I guess that what it means, perhaps some may think that it means
there's a 20% chance of rain in their lifetime, how anyone would come
to that conclusion escapes me, but there's some on here that think the

Years ago I was outside working on my car when a wagon pulled up to
collect a neighbour's car. The road is narrow and nothing could get
through while is was there. At that point a woman stopped her car
alongside mine, got out and asked if I'd reverse her car for her because
she couldn't do it for the distance required. She looked a bit panicky
when I reversed it at speed for the whole length of the road.

I like reversing fast too. I was once told off by someone for reversing a Vauxhall Corsa at full revs along his street instead of driving to the end to do a 3 point turn after the huge line of parked cars. I pointed out that my vehicle was unable to break the speed limit in reverse, so he had **** all chance of getting me into **** by the police. The police never contacted me.

You should go to the highlands of Scotland. Single track roads with passing places. Encounter another car, flash your lights to say you're letting them go first, then reverse as fast as possible to the last passing place. Except if it's a bus then you make them reverse.
