No problem with the many people that have no choice, being out and about my problem is and I must confess it's getting a little tiring repeating this, the 'lazy fat slobs' that use them without caring about the people they are willing to inconvenience, just the other day I nearly got mowed down by a prime example of this,
I was walking along a narrow footpath some 30 stoner in track suit heading towards me at max speed ignoring all around her as she unwrapped her emergency mars bar, what am I supposed to do to avoid her?
Jump into the road in front of the cars or shout to draw her attention?
I shouted, she cursed and carried on unwrapping her much needed snack at full pelt, there was just enough room to squeeze myself against the wall and avoid the two choices of being run over, her or a car.
