Doggy style

If you use the motorway network around here on a regular basis, you must dread hearing the word "Crufts". You know that it means four days of gridlock around the NEC. And for what? I like dogs, but all this preening and posturing leaves me cold. It calls to mind little girls playing with their dollies, dressing them up and giving them ever more exotic hairstyles. This isn't so much about dogs as about the egos of their owners. So there's something to think about while you're sitting in a queue of traffic on the M42.
