I think it’s a Berkshire thing Jim?
On many of the lanes around here (west berks) you are made to feel like some sort of criminal using the local byways, Don’t even get me started on the horse riding fraternity, or the dic***ad cyclists
We also find in Wiltshire everyone does wave, smile, and even stop to chat, people are much more relaxed. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90" Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |

Can't see the irony. Not waving at a passing Defender is hardly comparable to expecting a thank you from someone you have gone out of your way to assist. However I do admire your ability to find diesel_jim's quote from a seven month old thread...... |

I always tend to be overly courteous to horse riders in order to promote harmony between user communities but in those circumstamces I would probably have pointed out that her "vehicle" is much more manouverable and can turn in the width of the right-of-way, and that SHE should back up to a place she feels suitable to pass, since it is she that has the problem. |

I normally tell them to look up Byway laws. Their lack of knowledge is painful to see when they think they are so right, but plainly so wrong.
I had some idiot once telling me about “this be my private road”. It was part of the highway network and also had no sign to signify anything was private drive either. I said ‘where is your private road sign?’ He went “I don’t need no sign”. We were only walking the dogs... When I got back I reported him to the council for interfering with people legally accessing the highway network and rights of way. What amazes me most is he went straight into where he lives after starting off. Good job he didn’t try it on with anyone that really was up to no good. I cannot for the life of me understand why people keep on being so bothered about what others are doing! One can only but assume they’ve got very boring lives and litrally have nothing better to do bar try and annoy other people. Can’t fix stupid .... and that applies to anyone who acts in said manner No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

That was a good dig-up from the past!  But as said above, not really comparible, especially as I mentioned that I'd waved to the dog walker and stopped for the 'orse.
9/10 for effort though  |

Talking of that:-
“Ooh the hot weather. It’s so hot and we could do with some rain. My garden needs the rain. Come back the beast from the east, all is forgiven!” Moan if it’s hot, moan if it’s windy, moan if it’s cold, moan if it’s wet. Seriously though, as Ian says, your dog does not need a walk if it is 30 degrees. And my grass does not need the rain. . |

I must say, we are loving the hot weather! It’s nice to have a decent summer after all the crap weather we have had, remember Easter? I know it’s a pain to work in it, but hey ho :whistle Getting hot again next week, bring it on. 
And yes, I drove through our town on the way home, I saw far too many people walking their dogs, It’s not fair on them. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"
