Herd Mentality? Sheep?

Driving into town tonight I left my country lane at a large roundabout into Kettering.....Hamburger roundabout it's called, I think...lots of roads on, off and across the middle......and many traffic lights....
Two lanes so I headed for the left behind a bus, a van and some cars....ahead in the right lane a lorry and four or five cars.....the lights were red.......and suddenly the bus went?????
Then so did everything behind it......along with the lorry and cars in the other lane????
I sat there thinking.....about ten drivers have just gone through the red light......so the rules must have changed and I haven't been told.....or I've become colour blind..... :-(
Because there is another set of lights some yards ahead on the roundabout...on red.... they did all stop there......
Which meant one road through the roundabout ....which would have had a green light....was blocked....but thankfully the drivers there stopped even though they had green...didn't have a choice really, did they....but could have been a spectacular pile up....
Isn't it a weird feeling when so many folk do something wrong....you're the only one who doesn't but you still somehow feel you're in the wrong...... :-(

When I used to take the dog up the mountain to fetch the sheep every night I thought I was so clever with my instructions.....now I know it was the dog who knew fine well what he had to do....I was superfluous really....granny could have sent the dog on its own....... :-(

I'm awake due to feline reasons.
Shoota - you are wearing the mum, some sort of cardigan or throw? My longhaired moggie is to be made into a nice pair of slippers when she goes to cat heaven.
I don't drive so all the car stuff flew by me.
Mamy - the white eggs look disgusting. :-(
I am off to growl at the moggies - they are racing around screaming at each other. The folk downstairs must hate us.
Night, sweet dreams and all that.
