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.

    • By now you’ve hopefully seen that our main demonstration against Trump’s state visit is in London on Wednesday. Many of you have also asked, though, about how you can help ‘welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. So here’s the plan: We’re asking you to come and line Windsor High Street tomorrow in a peaceful, static protest.  Time: 6pm, Tue 16 Sept Location: Assemble outside Windsor Parish Church, High St, Windsor SL4 1LS and then spread out along the High Street. Grab some cardboard and a pen and make a homemade sign to show Donald Trump and his supporters what you think of them!  The world’s media will be in Windsor to cover the state visit, so showing visually that he is not welcome will send an important message far and wide. If you are coming then please join this Signal chat group for important updates.     Protest safety Please buddy up and come with someone else You have a right to peacefully demonstrate, but we are expecting a high police presence. Remain non-violent and non-confrontational, and do not talk to the police. It may be better to dress inconspicuously, not like an ‘activist’ We plan on ending at 7.30pm. Please leave in groups of 5–10 and make sure you have a bust card This action is entirely legal but we still recommend that you read this key advice when going on a protest to know your rights. Remember:  No comment No personal details Ask ‘under what power?’ No duty solicitor Don’t accept a caution Here is the protest support line: 07946 541 511 and here is more information on Stop & Search under the Public Order Act.   Thank you for being part of the movement against Trump. In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
    • We booked a day when we could drop around 8 bags. They directed us to use the rear entrance on Carver Rd. I would definitely ring as they don’t seem to have much space at the back. Our experience was great, they were very polite and thankful.
