But before long you realize that it isn't 'bless them' at all and that ‘Horn OK Please’ roughly translates to:

‘Dear the poor sod that is stuck behind me

I am probably driving like an absolute retard risking not only my life but your life also, so please feel free to abuse me with the sound of your car horn until I move out of the middle of the road or stop whatever the retarded thing is that I am doing.

Thanks
