I'm about to cross a side road and hear somebody pulling out of a parking space and deliberately chirping the tyres. I deduce that somebody in a sh*t hatchback is about to speed past me and use the side road to turn without slowing down, indicating or giving way to me. I stop. He does exactly that. Wonder what he'd have done if I'd stepped out. Best case scenario, probably an emergency stop and the horn and pretending I was in the wrong.]

ChrisHB Sep 2017 5:46pm, 21 Sep 2017 15,358 posts	ChrisHB Quite so. But I have been doing it for nearly a year, and this was an over-60s class.
Eynsham Red Sep 2017 6:06pm, 21 Sep 2017 1,982 posts	Eynsham Red Reporters shouting questions at MPs when they go into or out of Downing St (and elsewhere). I've never seen one reply to the questions. If I was an MP, I'd probably tell the reporters to do something rude, but then again with that sort of behavior I'd probably never have been elected in the first place!
