Thanks TG. I thought I was the only one. Is that another name for a knife?

[Canalman]

They are the machines you put your soda bread / viennesse roll etc into which slices them up for you. Usually has a big red emergency  stop button on it in case you mangle your hands in it. Thought they were common enough in the supermarkets.

Mea culpa.

I know what a slicing machine is on a golf course.

People in vehicles that don't turn off their engines as a funeral is walking past.

Drives me nuts. I'm not standing here for the good of my health!!

[Don Johnson]

On that same note, idiots who stand at a pedestrian crossing having NOT pressed the button!

[Tyrones own]

Or better yet, pushing the button then proceed to run across against their light, leaving you to have to stop 3 secs later with no one there to cross !

Is bringing the car to a halt not enough?

I do that. I'm fully aware of how pointless it is, but I still do it for some reason.
I sometimes push it 2-3 times in quick succession - just to make sure, like!

It's pointless pressing it at all in a lot of cases, it won't stop the traffic any quicker.

Not quite a knife, no. but don't worry I'm sure Offaly will have them within a hundred years or so.

I heard that in Dublin they on timers during the day and the button only makes a difference at night.
