Selfish couple underhill road


Louisa

Recommended Posts

So a quick walk to the shop turns into a blazing argument over pavement space. Not only am I fighting off bloody cyclists on the pavement and cars mounting kerbs, I now find myself flying at a couple for holding hands on the street. Why? Why would you do it? You saw me coming a good 20ft away at LEAST! If you're anyone walking on the street be kind enough to move over when you see someone coming towards you please. And there was no need to call me what you did, I wasn't just making a fuss I was genuinely p/$$ed off! I'm prepared to apologise for the choice words I used regarding your size, it wasn't fair and I do hope you read this. Just think next time. Thanks.

Baggs, I'm more than happy to hold hands with you or anyone else. It's not the holding hands I have the issue with here, it's the pavement hogging that's the problem.


gge12 what on earth are you going on about? I did say something at the time, have you not read above? And the second part of your post is lost on me, no idea what you're getting at.

Interestingly, both gge12 and robbin are more recent members of the forum, and welcome to you both. Coincidence perhaps? I am not prepared to stoop to the back of the sofa to pull out a handful of one and two pence pieces covered in hairs thanks all the same, but nice try.

No Dopamine1979 it is not. I am constantly frustrated by poor pavement etiquette, however on this occasion I think I may have over stepped the mark hence my apology above, I do hope they read this forum and this thread. It was a poor decision on their part to not move over but my reaction was not sufficient and for once I hold my hands up.

I had someting like this happen to me a while back in St. Francis Road. There was a chap coming towards me with a pushchair. As you may appreciate, the road is tree lined and cars are parked all the way along it. It was obvious we were about to "meet" at a narrow point with a tree. I acknowledged him with a smile, moved to the side of the pavement and indicated that he could come through. His phone rang and he stopped and answered it and began to hold a conversation. "Excuse me, can I come past" I enquired, at which point he launched into a tirade of abuse and swearing, accusing me of being rude and teeling me I should have better manners. Remarkable.

    • Hello, Does anyone have a compost bin they are looking to give away or sell please? Looking for one to place in communal garden. Thanks! Vina
    • Yes I fancied this but don't have the right bike or tweeds.  Maybe next year.
    • Ah the sending asylum seekers to Rwanda argument.  Well let's see how effective that is. I've made suggestions of what to do.
    • But you don't think the same protection should be afforded to those on the anti-LTN side...? Given the witch hunt some are be conducting to unearth which local residents are involved (see numerous examples on this forum), given the vandalism of the anti-LTN signs and interference with cars, labelling of anyone who opposes as some sort of petrol-head facist and given even Anna Goodman's tearing down of an anti-LTN poster you still think you only want anonimyity for those on one side of the argument? Does that not seem slightly hypocritical...it's why your first post on this issue entertained so many of us - it seemed ever so one-sided and summed up the challenges anyone who opposes the measures has to fight?
