Well, IN SHORT, darling Neil, if I ever had the inclination to hand out bad karma would be for this post.
See Jambutty has beaten me to it.
Everybody has the right to proceed on foot to their destination, motorists have no rights as such .. 'tis just a privilege to drive. Children get agitated at waiting even for 2 minutes, and a danger they may bolt across. Like Gayle said if you are in a regular run, where you know there is a Lollipop crossing, set out 5 minutes earlier ... not difficult is it.
Sod the motorists, protect our children.
Lilly: 'Tis a difficult and responsible job and understand why you would wish not to do it ... good to see that they are mentioned in the Honour's List now and then.. well deserved.
