"THEN there is the question of diesel smoke, which I am sure is shortening my life." The Duke of Edinburgh said this at a lunch following the annual general meeting of the Automobile Association in London last week.
The Duke also made comments about roads. "I hope we can induce those responsibfb for making traffic arrangements to make them so as they are of value to road users, and not just because they look nice on a plan," he commented.
He also thought more attention needed to be paid to cambers and corners, and also to signposting, which was " chaotic."
